Ophir sits at 9,725 feet in San Miguel County and has had a post office since 1878. It lies along the San Juan Skyway National Scenic Byway, and the Forest Service road over Ophir Pass begins just east of town. Winters are long and cold, with most precipitation falling as snow, which shapes how food and supplies move in and out.
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 Ophir 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 193°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 9°F. For a winter rental we confirm insulated hoses, heat tracing, and a generator or shore-power plan that keeps the heaters running.
Summer highs near 69°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
About 200 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 reported avalanche closed Ophir Road at Highway 145 and knocked out power to the town, according to a sheriff's office report carried by the news. A multi-day outage puts refrigerated food at risk for any lodge, restaurant, or institution, which is when an emergency refrigeration trailer and a self-powered kitchen are useful.
The Forest Service has temporarily closed the Ophir Pass road for work such as mine cleanup, and plows open the pass each season. Crews working at this elevation, far from services, need hot meals, dishwashing, and rest space, which kitchen and sleeper units can provide as a short-term camp.
Reports describe a long, bitterly cold period with short days at this elevation. Construction, utility, or filming crews working through winter near Ophir may need cooking, refrigeration, and hand-washing capacity that does not depend on a local kitchen. Plan around snow access and confirm requirements with the county.
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Ophir is about 200 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Ophir is reached by Ophir Road off Colorado Highway 145, a road that avalanches have closed. The Forest Service road over Ophir Pass is closed in winter and is not a trailer route. Winter delivery can be delayed, so check with the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office and CDOT first.
The closest towns we serve are Mountain Village (about 5 miles), Telluride (6 miles), and Silverton (10 miles).
Open 24/7
Avalanches have closed Ophir Road and cut power to the town. When snow shuts the road and the grid, perishable food is at risk and kitchens go dark. Emergency refrigeration and kitchen trailers can help when access reopens. We answer 24/7.

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 Ophir mobile kitchen rentals and a team that picks up the phone keep service running on your schedule.
Delivery and setup of Ophir mobile kitchen rentals are coordinated around your schedule in Ophir, 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.
Access depends on snow and avalanche conditions on Ophir Road, which has been closed by slides. Delivery may need to wait for the road to open. Check with the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office and CDOT before scheduling, and keep contingency dates in your plan.
Lower air pressure can change how fuel-fired appliances burn and how long food takes to cook, and cold can threaten water lines. Ask about altitude settings, fuel supply, and cold-weather protection when you plan a rental at this elevation.
