Merino, Colorado Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Merino is a Logan County community on the northeastern Colorado plains at about 4,039 feet, in a semi-arid climate. Named for the merino sheep that once grazed there, it incorporated in 1917. Radio and television host Ralph Edwards was born here, and a local avenue carries his name.
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 Merino site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Merino
January lows near 17°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 17°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
July highs near 90°F
Merino's July highs average about 90°F. That is a normal load for our equipment, but it is enough to expose an aging walk-in cooler, which is a common reason people call us.
Delivery from Denver
About 100 miles in a straight line from our Denver warehouse. That is a regional delivery: we confirm the road route, any seasonal limits, and the timing when we quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Merino
South Platte flooding
In September 2013 the South Platte River crested at 11.2 feet in Logan County, and a no-flush water order was issued. When water service is interrupted, a facility can lean on a kitchen and dishwashing trailer that brings its own equipment.
Interstate disruption
Logan County is served by I-76 and US 6, which carry freight and travelers across the northeast plains. When a crash or storm closes those routes, an agency feeding stranded drivers can use a mobile kitchen trailer to serve hot food.
Plains heat and cooler failure
Merino has a semi-arid plains climate, and summer heat stresses refrigeration equipment. If a walk-in cooler at a care facility, school or event hall fails, a refrigeration trailer can hold food while the repair is arranged. The unit comes with its own refrigeration and can run from a generator or site power.
- Flood response meals and dishwashing
- Stranded traveler hot meal service
- Emergency cooler during summer heat
Delivery from our Denver warehouse to Merino
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Merino is about 100 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 Merino
I could not verify a specific highway approach to Merino from my sources. It lies in Logan County, where I-76 and US 6 are listed as major routes, so trailers from the Denver warehouse likely travel northeast on the interstate. Confirm routes and conditions with CDOT.
From Merino, Hillrose is about 14 miles away, Brush about 21 miles, and Akron about 23 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
South Platte flooding in 2013 led to a no-flush order in Logan County and disaster declarations. When flood or storm damage hits a kitchen or cooler, 24/7 emergency deployment can help restore food service.

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
Who handles permits for temporary kitchens here?
Temporary food service is typically regulated by the county health department. Contact the one that covers Logan County, and ask about permits, inspection timing, and water and wastewater rules for a mobile kitchen.
Can a trailer be set up at a farm or event site?
Often yes if the ground is firm and level and power, water and wastewater are arranged. Confirm county health requirements first, then send us a site sketch so we can match hookups and access.
Do you take emergency calls for Merino?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Merino 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.
