Santa Clara, New Mexico Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Santa Clara, known as Central until 1996, is a Grant County village along US 180. It is home to the Fort Bayard historic campus, an Army post founded in 1866 that became a tuberculosis hospital and now holds the state's Fort Bayard Medical Center, a long-term care facility with a chemical dependency treatment center.
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 Santa Clara site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Santa Clara
Mild winters, lows near 29°F
January lows near 29°F rarely threaten water lines, so winter rentals are straightforward. Cold storage still needs a steady power supply.
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 Santa Fe
Santa Clara is roughly 235 miles from Santa Fe, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Santa Clara
Care-facility kitchen outage
Long-term care and treatment facilities, like the ones on the historic Fort Bayard campus, depend on uninterrupted meals and cold storage for residents and staff. If a kitchen is down for repairs or a cooler fails, a kitchen trailer or refrigeration unit can bridge the gap while the permanent equipment is fixed.
Historic campus events
Santa Clara has agreed with state officials to lease six buildings on the historic campus for eventual restoration, and Fort Bayard National Cemetery lies within the district. Memorial or heritage gatherings there can outgrow what the existing buildings are able to feed, and a mobile kitchen keeps cooking off the historic structures.
Wildfire seasons and monsoon storms
In 2022 the Black Fire prompted Ready, Set, Go evacuation notices across Grant, Catron and Sierra counties, and southwest New Mexico also has a July to September monsoon. Outages and evacuations can leave institutions and crews needing temporary kitchens, refrigeration or showers.

- Memorial and heritage event catering service
- Wildfire-season crew and evacuee meals
Delivery from our Santa Fe warehouse to Santa Clara
We keep equipment in Santa Fe, the New Mexico capital, and plan every delivery from there. Santa Clara is about 235 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 Santa Clara
Santa Clara sits along US 180 in Grant County, with NM 152 serving the Fort Bayard area. We have not verified the complete route from Santa Fe, so expect a long state-highway trip to the southwest part of the state. Check NMRoads and confirm turning room at the site.
From Santa Clara, Bayard is about 2 miles away, Hurley about 6 miles, and Silver City about 7 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour

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 a temporary kitchen on the Fort Bayard campus?
Food service in New Mexico is regulated by the New Mexico Environment Department, which processes temporary food establishment applications. Because the campus is a historic district with state and village property, also ask the property managers for permission before placing a trailer.
Do historic district rules affect where a trailer can go?
The Fort Bayard campus is a National Register historic district, so grounds and buildings may have restrictions. Ask the managing agency about approved staging areas, hookups and any limits on ground disturbance, and we can discuss options that fit.
Do you take emergency calls for Santa Clara?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Santa Clara site is, and we check availability from our Santa Fe warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
