Parachute, Colorado Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Parachute, at 5,089 feet, was incorporated in 1908 as Grand Valley and took back the Parachute name in the 1980s. Interstate 70 passes through at Exit 75, and Garfield County School District 16 serves local students. Oil and gas work has shaped the area, including a motel built for energy workers just before the 1982 oil bust.
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 Parachute site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Parachute
January lows near 17°F
Parachute sees January lows near 17°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 94°F
Warm summers, with highs near 94°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
Delivery from Denver
Parachute is roughly 165 miles from Denver, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Parachute
Energy workforce camps
A 2007 county approval allowed up to 31 temporary facilities housing nearly 750 natural gas workers north of Parachute. Drilling and energy projects can still bring crews who need meals, showers, and beds near the work site, which kitchen, shower, and sleeper units can supply.
Housing and retail construction
Reports describe the Parachute Inn motel being converted to workforce apartments, with the state providing more than $6 million, and a new housing and retail development beginning in 2024. Construction crews on projects like these can use a kitchen trailer for on-site meals.
School kitchen downtime
Garfield County School District 16 runs Bea Underwood Elementary, Grand Valley Middle School, and Grand Valley High School. If a school kitchen is down for repairs or renovation, a kitchen or refrigeration trailer can keep meals going, with county health department approval.
- Energy and construction crew camp meals
- Workforce site kitchen with showers and sleepers
- School meal service during kitchen outages
Delivery from our Denver warehouse to Parachute
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Parachute is about 165 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 Parachute
Interstate 70 passes through Parachute at Exit 75. Trailers from the Denver warehouse follow I-70 west across mountain passes and Glenwood Canyon, where winter weather and closures can occur. Check CDOT's COtrip before dispatch.
The closest towns we serve are De Beque (about 13 miles), Collbran (15 miles), and Silt (22 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
The Grizzly Creek fire shut I-70 in Glenwood Canyon, and crashes or weather can close the corridor again. When supply routes stop, crews and kitchens may be stranded, and emergency kitchen and refrigeration trailers can fill the gap. Our line is open 24/7.

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.

Emergency refrigeration and kitchen rentals in Parachute
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.
Frequently asked questions
Can a kitchen trailer support an industrial crew camp?
Often yes, but the site needs utilities and the right approvals. Contact the county health department and your landowner about water, wastewater, power, and any temporary housing rules, and share your headcount so we can match equipment.
Does I-70 closure affect delivery to Parachute?
Interstate 70 closures in mountain terrain can delay trailers. Check COtrip before dispatch, keep flexible dates, and tell us your latest acceptable arrival date so we can plan around conditions.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Parachute in an emergency?
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 Parachute when we quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
