Lyons, Colorado Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Lyons sits where North and South St. Vrain creeks meet and where US 36 and Colorado 7 cross, a junction that has long fed traffic toward the mountains. Edward Lyon founded it in 1880 to quarry red sandstone, a business that still ships stone worldwide. Planet Bluegrass hosts festivals at the base of a red sandstone mountain.
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 Lyons site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Lyons
January lows near 16°F
Lyons sees January lows near 16°F, cold enough to threaten exposed water lines. We confirm insulated connections and a freeze plan when we quote a winter term.
July highs near 86°F
Warm summers, with highs near 86°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
Close to our Denver warehouse
Lyons is only about 35 miles in a straight line from our Denver warehouse, one of the shorter deliveries we make. We still confirm the route, access, and your delivery window at quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Lyons
Festival season at Planet Bluegrass
Planet Bluegrass hosts the RockyGrass bluegrass festival and the Folks Festival on its grounds in town. Crowds and campers at multi-day music festivals create heavy demand for hot food, and a mobile kitchen trailer can supplement vendor and backstage catering.
Flood recovery
On September 12, 2013, St. Vrain Creek flooding blocked every route into Lyons and disrupted water and sewer service, and the National Guard evacuated the town. After floods, a dishwashing and kitchen trailer can keep schools, care facilities and restaurants serving while their kitchens recover.
Summer visitor traffic
Lyons lies roughly 20 miles from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, and its sandstone Redstone Museum is open June through October. Lodging and restaurant operators facing peak weekends can add cooking and prep capacity temporarily with a trailer.
- Music festival backstage and crew catering
- Flood recovery kitchen and dishwashing service
- Summer weekend overflow for restaurants and lodging
Delivery from our Denver warehouse to Lyons
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Lyons is about 35 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to Lyons
US 36 and Colorado 7 meet in Lyons, and US 36 is the usual approach from the Denver warehouse. The 2013 flood washed out parts of US 36 and other canyon routes, so check CDOT for any closures or construction before a trailer is dispatched.
From Lyons, Jamestown is about 10 miles away, Mead about 15 miles, and Ward about 17 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The September 2013 flood cut Lyons off from every direction, took out water and sewer service, and forced an evacuation. For a school, care facility or restaurant in a flood-prone canyon, 24/7 deployment matters.

How a rental works
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do festival vendors need county health permits?
Temporary food vendors usually need approval from the county health department, so contact the one that covers Boulder County. Ask about application deadlines, inspection timing and rules for mobile kitchens, water and wastewater.
Can a trailer handle flood-prone ground?
Site selection matters. Place the trailer on high, firm, level ground away from creek channels, and check local flood notices. Share the site details with us so we can plan hookups and access.
Do you take emergency calls for Lyons?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Lyons site is, and we check availability from our Denver warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
