Elmo, Utah Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Elmo is an agricultural community in northern Emery County at about 5,690 feet, settled in 1908 and incorporated in 1935. Its yearly high point is Horse and Buggy Days, a community celebration held in August with a parade, dinner and dance. Emery County's economy of power generation, coal mining and livestock also brings crews and contractors through the area.
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 Elmo site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Elmo
January lows near 16°F
Elmo sees January lows near 16°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 93°F
Warm summers, with highs near 93°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 Salt Lake City
Elmo is roughly 110 miles from Salt Lake City, within regional reach. The final road conditions and delivery window are confirmed with you before anything ships.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Elmo
Horse and Buggy Days dinner and park events
Past programs for the August celebration have included a kids' rodeo, bike ride, 5K run, firemen's games, dinner, dance and parade. A caterer or committee feeding a crowd at the park can use a trailer kitchen and dishwashing unit. Dates shift year to year, so confirm with the town.
Flood displacement in Emery County
In late August 2026, heavy storms flooded homes and roads in Emery County and the Red Cross opened a shelter for displaced residents. After floods like this, relief groups need cooking capacity and cold storage, and a mobile kitchen can operate outside damaged buildings.
Contractor and maintenance crews
Emery County's economy rests on power generation, coal mining and livestock. When plant maintenance or construction work brings extra crews into the valley, kitchen, shower and sleeper units can house and feed workers close to the job site, rather than sending them on long drives for meals.

- Flood relief feeding and shelter kitchens

Delivery from our Salt Lake City warehouse to Elmo
We keep equipment in Salt Lake City, the Utah capital, and plan every delivery from there. Elmo is about 110 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 Elmo
From Salt Lake City, a common route is US 6 over Soldier Summit toward Carbon County, then SR 10 south through Castle Valley, a corridor with coal-haul truck traffic. SR 155 passes about a mile west of Elmo. Confirm the final local roads and winter conditions before departure.
If your project spans more than one site, Cleveland, about 3 miles from Elmo, and Huntington, about 9 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Wellington at 11 miles.
We confirm the exact route and any seasonal limits for your address at quote.

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 agency handles temporary food permits in Elmo?
Emery County is covered by the Southeast Utah Health Department, which also serves Carbon County. Contact them about a temporary or mobile kitchen permit, and check with the Elmo town office about use of the park or any town property.
How do I plan around Horse and Buggy Days dates?
Local coverage shows the August celebration moving from year to year, so do not rely on old dates. Ask the Elmo town office for the current schedule and confirm where vendors and kitchens may set up before booking a trailer.
How fast can a trailer get to Elmo if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Salt Lake City warehouse, and the delivery time to Elmo depends on the equipment and the road, which we confirm in your quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
Not by itself. We reply with availability, timing, and terms first, and equipment is reserved only after you agree to them.
