About 8,230 feet up
Vail sits high enough that water boils near 196°F. Baking times, pasta, and hot-water sanitizing all shift, so we go over burner settings and water heater capacity with you before delivery.

Vail, Colorado Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Vail began as a ski resort in December 1962 and incorporated in 1966. At 8,239 feet, the town stretches along Interstate 70, which is the only road in or out and crosses Vail Pass nearby. The town averages around 190 inches of snow a season. Its calendar includes Bravo! Vail, the Vail Film Festival, Taste of Vail, and the Burton US Open.
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 Vail site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Vail
January lows near 10°F
With typical January lows around 10°F, a trailer left without heat can freeze its water system in a single night. We plan hookups, heaters, and a drain-down routine for any rental that spans winter.
Cool summers, highs near 75°F
With July highs around 75°F, cooling is rarely the problem here. We spend the planning time on ground conditions, shelter, and winter readiness.
Close to our Denver warehouse
Vail is only about 75 miles in a straight line from our Denver warehouse, one of the shorter deliveries we make. We still confirm the route, access, and your delivery window at quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Vail
Peak ski-week outages
Ski season here is the busiest stretch of the year, with roughly 190 inches of snow on average. A hotel, restaurant, or on-mountain kitchen that loses its cooling or cooking line during a holiday week can use a mobile kitchen or refrigeration trailer.
Summer festivals and concerts
Bravo! Vail, the Vail Film Festival, Taste of Vail, and the Vail Lacrosse Shootout draw crowds beyond what permanent kitchens can feed. Organizers and caterers can bring in mobile kitchens, dishwashing trailers, and refrigeration for large events, tents, and staff meals.
I-70 closures over Vail Pass
Interstate 70 is the only road into Vail, and Vail Pass at 10,662 feet is known for hazardous driving conditions. A closure can delay supply trucks, leaving restaurants and the hospital kitchen short, and an emergency refrigeration trailer can protect stock.
- Peak-week hotel and restaurant kitchen backup
- Festival and concert catering capacity
- Supply-disruption refrigeration during I-70 closures
Delivery from our Denver warehouse to Vail
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. Vail is about 75 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 Vail
Trailers travel Interstate 70 west from the Denver warehouse, crossing the Continental Divide and Vail Pass (10,662 feet, 7 percent grades, two westbound runaway truck ramps). Winter storms cause delays and closures, so check CDOT conditions and allow weather margin.
From Vail, Minturn is about 7 miles away, Avon about 8 miles, and Red Cliff about 9 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
I-70 is Vail's only road, and Vail Pass is known for hazardous winter driving. A closure or storm can cut deliveries just as a cooler or kitchen fails, and our 24/7 emergency deployment can plan around the weather.

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
Can a trailer be placed in Vail Village during a busy week?
Possibly, but the town controls placement and traffic. Ask the Town of Vail and the Eagle County public health office about permits, access windows, and rules. Provide a site layout so we can pick a trailer that fits the available space.
Does high altitude affect a mobile kitchen?
Yes. At about 8,200 feet, propane appliances and ventilation behave differently and cooking times change. Tell us the elevation and expected temperatures when you book so fuel and freeze protection can be arranged.
Do you take emergency calls for Vail?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Vail site is, and we check availability from our Denver warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
