General William Jackson Palmer founded Palmer Lake in 1871, and the town was incorporated in 1889. At 7,139 feet on the Palmer Divide, it sits along Colorado Highway 105 and is in Lewis-Palmer School District 38. Its best-known landmark is the Palmer Lake Star, and annual events include a star lighting with a chili supper, the Yule Log Hunt, and Winterfest.
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 Palmer Lake 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.
Average January nights here drop to about 10°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 81°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
Our Denver warehouse is about 45 miles away, so equipment does not travel far. That helps in an emergency, and we plan placement and hookups with you before the trailer rolls.
The Palmer Lake Star Lighting and Chili Supper marked its 90th year on November 29, 2025, with a chili supper, Santa visits, games, and a kids' craft corner before the lighting. Volunteer organizers feeding a large crowd can add cooking, hot holding, and dishwashing capacity with a trailer.
The star is lit each year from December 1 to January 1, and the town also holds the Yule Log Hunt in December and Winterfest in late winter. Outdoor events at 7,139 feet need reliable heated cooking and refrigeration, which a self-contained kitchen trailer can provide.
Lewis-Palmer School District 38 serves the town. If a school kitchen is closed for an equipment failure or renovation, a kitchen trailer can keep meal service going in the meantime, with the approvals required by the county health department. Ask the district about parking, power, and water access.
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Palmer Lake is about 45 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Colorado Highway 105 runs through Palmer Lake and the town lies off Interstate 25. At 7,139 feet, winter weather is possible on the approach. Check CDOT's COtrip before dispatch from the Denver warehouse, and allow for snow-packed access at the event site.
The closest towns we serve are Larkspur (about 8 miles), Woodland Park (11 miles), and Green Mountain Falls (14 miles).

At 7,139 feet, winter conditions can bring snow and cold, and a power loss or failed cooler at a restaurant, school, or event site can threaten food quickly. Emergency refrigeration and kitchen trailers can help. Our line is open 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 Palmer Lake mobile kitchen rentals and a team that picks up the phone keep service running on your schedule.
Delivery and setup of Palmer Lake mobile kitchen rentals are coordinated around your schedule in Palmer Lake, 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.
Event organizers and the town control who can operate at the site. Ask the organizers about vendor space, power, and water, and check with the county health department about licensing before a trailer is scheduled.
At 7,139 feet, snow and ice are possible in winter. Check COtrip before dispatch, keep flexible dates, and tell us your latest acceptable arrival date so we can plan around conditions without promising a fixed time.
