Ridgway, Colorado Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Ridgway started as a railroad stop for the San Juan mining camps and was incorporated in 1891. At roughly 6,960 feet, it holds the only stoplight in Ouray County, where US 550 meets Colorado Highway 62. Ridgway State Park, Orvis Hot Springs, and the 1969 film true Grit, shot here, bring visitors year-round.
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 Ridgway site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Ridgway
January lows near 12°F
Ridgway sees January lows near 12°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 85°F
Warm summers, with highs near 85°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
Ridgway is roughly 185 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 Ridgway
County fair and rodeo
The Ouray County Fair and Rodeo runs over Labor Day weekend with a western heritage fair, rodeo, barbecue, and parade. Organizers and caterers feeding crowds can use a kitchen trailer and dishwashing unit for volume service. Confirm placement and approvals with the organizers.
Reservoir and campground season
Ridgway State Park surrounds Ridgway Reservoir, with more than 200 campsites and boating, fishing, and hiking. Event operators and outfitters hosting group meals can use a kitchen trailer and refrigeration without building out a commercial kitchen. Confirm placement and approvals with park management.
Film and arts events
Ridgway is a state-certified Creative District, with the Sherbino Theater, and true Grit scenes were shot in town. Festivals, film groups, and productions needing crew catering can add a kitchen trailer and dishwashing for temporary service. Confirm placement and approvals with the venue.

Delivery from our Denver warehouse to Ridgway
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Ridgway is about 185 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 Ridgway
US 550 and Colorado Highway 62 meet at Ridgway's only stoplight, so trailers can approach on either highway. US 550 south of town climbs toward Red Mountain Pass, which closes in winter. Check CDOT's COtrip before dispatch from the Denver warehouse.
From Ridgway, Ouray is about 10 miles away, Telluride about 15 miles, and Mountain Village about 17 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Winter storms and avalanche or rockslide closures on US 550 can cut supply runs to the area. When a cooler fails or power is lost, emergency refrigeration and kitchen trailers can protect food and keep meals going. 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.

Frequently asked questions
Which highways meet at Ridgway?
US 550 and Colorado Highway 62 meet at the town's stoplight, the only one in Ouray County. Check CDOT's COtrip before dispatch, since mountain weather and closures on US 550 can affect travel.
Do I need approval to operate a kitchen trailer at a state park?
Operating at a state park requires approval from park management, and the county health department may have licensing requirements. Contact both early, and ask about power, water, and placement before the trailer is scheduled.

Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Ridgway site is, and we check availability from our Denver warehouse and quote the delivery.
