Norwood sits on Wright's Mesa at about 7,018 feet in San Miguel County, with Colorado 145 running through town. The Norwood School District R-2J serves local students, and the town earned International Dark Sky Community status in 2019. Annual precipitation is about 15.75 inches, and snowfall averages roughly 60 inches.
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 Norwood 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 198°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.
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 14°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
Norwood's July highs average about 86°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.
About 210 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.
A large bluegrass festival is held in the region on the third weekend of June, with capacity set at 12,000 per day. Caterers and visitors using Norwood as a base can add cooking and cold storage with trailers. The trailer arrives with its own ranges, sinks and refrigeration for larger catering orders.
Norwood School District R-2J feeds local students. If a school kitchen faces equipment failure or renovation, a kitchen or refrigeration trailer on the lot can keep meal service running for the duration. It carries its own sinks, ranges and refrigeration and can be placed on the school lot.
Norwood averages about 60 inches of snow a year at 7,018 feet. Snow and cold can cause power outages and strain refrigeration at a restaurant, school or care facility, and a refrigeration trailer can hold food during repairs. Trailers can run from a generator if the site loses power during a storm.
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Norwood is about 210 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Colorado 145 runs through Norwood, connecting to Colorado 141 to the north. I could not verify the full route from the Denver warehouse or specific seasonal restrictions on nearby passes, so check CDOT for mountain conditions before dispatch.
The closest towns we serve are Naturita (about 16 miles), Nucla (17 miles), and Mountain Village (27 miles).
Open 24/7
Norwood averages about 60 inches of snow a year, and its main highway is a mountain route. When a storm or outage threatens a cooler or kitchen, 24/7 emergency deployment can help bridge the gap.

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 Norwood mobile kitchen rentals and a team that picks up the phone keep service running on your schedule.
Delivery and setup of Norwood mobile kitchen rentals are coordinated around your schedule in Norwood, 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.
Temporary food service is typically regulated at the county level. Contact the county health department that covers San Miguel County, and ask about permits, inspection timing, and water and wastewater rules for mobile kitchens.
Often yes if the site has room, power and water, and the district approves. Coordinate with the district and the county health department, and send us a site sketch so we can match hookups and access.
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 Norwood 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:
