Trinidad, Colorado Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Trinidad is the Las Animas County seat, at about 6,030 feet at the foot of the pass on Interstate 25. The city was founded in 1862 after coal was discovered and lies on the Santa Fe Trail. Trinidad State College, the oldest community college in Colorado, is here, and Fishers Peak State Park and Trinidad Lake State Park are in the county.
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 Trinidad site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Trinidad
January lows near 22°F
Trinidad sees January lows near 22°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 89°F
Warm summers, with highs near 89°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
Trinidad is roughly 180 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 Trinidad
College dining and campus events
Trinidad State College, the oldest community college in Colorado, serves students in town. Cafeteria equipment failures, summer renovations, and large campus events can all leave a college kitchen short, and mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailers can restore serving capacity for students and staff.
State park and trail visitor weekends
Fishers Peak State Park and Trinidad Lake State Park lie in Las Animas County, and the Santa Fe Trail runs through the region. Outdoor events, races, and heritage gatherings can use mobile kitchen and refrigeration trailers when permanent kitchens are not enough.
Winter pass closures on I-25
Heavy winter snowfall causes occasional closures and difficult driving on the pass south of town, where Interstate 25 and US 85/87 climb. When deliveries stop, local restaurants and care facilities can run short of supplies, and a refrigeration trailer buys time.
- College cafeteria equipment failure cover
- State park and trail event meals
- Winter highway closure refrigeration backup
Delivery from our Denver warehouse to Trinidad
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Trinidad is about 180 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 Trinidad
Interstate 25 runs through Trinidad, which is where it meets US 160, US 350, and State Highway 12. Trailers head south on I-25 from the Denver warehouse. Heavy snow can close the pass south of town, so check CDOT conditions before a winter move.
The closest towns we serve are Cokedale (about 8 miles), Aguilar (18 miles), and Raton (20 miles).
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
Who permits temporary kitchens in Las Animas County?
Contact the local public health agency and the City of Trinidad for temporary food-service licensing, plan review, and placement rules. Ask early for event dates, and confirm what inspection they will want before the trailer is put into service.
Does snow on the pass affect our schedule?
It can. I-25 over the pass south of town sees occasional winter closures. We plan around CDOT road conditions and weather, so give us your deadline and a backup date, and have the pad cleared before the trailer arrives.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Trinidad 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 Trinidad 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.
