La Jara is at 7,605 feet in Conejos County, in the high San Luis Valley, with US 285 passing through town. The valley averages around 7,664 feet and has a cold desert climate, with only 7 to 10 inches of precipitation a year. Irrigated farming of potatoes, head lettuce, wheat and barley shapes the regional economy.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your La Jara site.
Elevation from the Open-Meteo elevation model. Temperatures are averages for January lows and July highs in 2022 to 2024, from Open-Meteo reanalysis data.
Water boils near 197°F here, so steam tables, kettles, and dish-machine rinse temperatures behave differently than at sea level. Gas burners and ovens are checked for altitude before a kitchen goes out, and we confirm the setup with your cook.
Average January nights here drop to about 7°F. For a winter rental we confirm insulated hoses, heat tracing, and a generator or shore-power plan that keeps the heaters running.
Warm summers, with highs near 85°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
La Jara is roughly 180 miles from Denver, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
The San Luis Valley grows potatoes, head lettuce, wheat and barley on irrigated land. A grower, packer or labor contractor bringing in harvest crews can use a kitchen trailer with sleeper and restroom units on or near the farm, feeding workers without a trip to a restaurant.
High-altitude valley winters are cold, and snowpack in the surrounding mountains averages about 100 inches. A heating or refrigeration failure at a school, care facility or food operation can be serious, and a trailer kitchen or refrigeration trailer helps keep service going.
US 285 and several state highways cross Conejos County, and the Rio Grande National Forest lies nearby. Road, utility or forest-project contractors working far from restaurants can use kitchen, shower and sleeper units at a staging area for the length of a job.
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. La Jara is about 180 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
US 285 runs through La Jara, leading about 20 miles south to the New Mexico line. The run from the Denver warehouse is long and crosses mountain terrain, so winter weather and passes can apply. We could not verify the full route, so we confirm it before dispatch.
The closest towns we serve are Sanford (about 3 miles), Manassa (7 miles), and Romeo (7 miles).
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
The San Luis Valley is a high, cold desert where winter storms and power outages can threaten heating and refrigeration. Our 24/7 emergency deployment can bring a temporary kitchen or cooling when equipment fails far from alternatives.

Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.
When a kitchen closes for a renovation, a repair, or an emergency, the people it feeds still need to eat. Reliable La Jara mobile kitchen rentals and a team that picks up the phone keep service running on your schedule.
Delivery and setup of La Jara mobile kitchen rentals are coordinated around your schedule in La Jara, with timing confirmed at quote.
Call (888) 385-5513 any hour. A broken cooler or a closed kitchen does not wait for business hours.
One team helps choose the trailer, plans the hookups, and collects it when the job is done.
Terms run from a single week to a long lease, matched to how long your own kitchen will be out of service.
Equipment built to handle a full day of service, from the cooking line to the dish room and cold storage.
Site access, placement, power, water, and wastewater are checked before the trailer is on the road.
Our customers run commercial and institutional kitchens, including hospitals, schools, government and military sites, hotels, correctional facilities, and caterers. What we promise is what we can confirm: someone answering the phone at any hour, coordinated delivery and setup, and a written quote that states terms before you agree to anything.
When a cooler warms up overnight, a flood closes the kitchen, or an inspector shuts down the dish room, call us and we begin planning the replacement on that call. It helps to have the unit's make, your available power, and the site address ready.
Yes, slightly. Water boils at a lower temperature at this elevation, so boiling, steaming and baking times can shift. Trailer ranges and ovens work as designed, so plan your menu timing and ask about settings when you book.
Mobile and temporary food operations are generally overseen at the county or state level. Contact the county public health office before arrival and ask what applies to your use, especially if the kitchen will serve the public.
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Denver warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to La Jara when we quote.
No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
Send what you know and a person will reply with availability and terms. It helps to have these ready:
