What the conditions mean for a rental in Francis

Francis 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.
Cool summers, highs near 82°F
With July highs around 82°F, cooling is rarely the problem here. We spend the planning time on ground conditions, shelter, and winter readiness.

Where a mobile kitchen helps in Francis
Seasonal highway recreation traffic
State Route 35 heads east from Francis toward the Uinta Basin and is closed in winter between mileposts 12 and 27. Summer and fall groups heading into the high country can use a kitchen trailer, showers and sleeper units for base camps.
Fire near the highway
A fire that started near State Route 35 kept the highway closed for much of one fall, according to local reporting. Fire crews, evacuated residents and support staff in a situation like that need hot meals, showers, handwashing and a place to rest, all of which can be set up near a staging area.
School district kitchens
Students here attend South Summit School District schools. When a school kitchen is closed for repair, an equipment failure or renovation, a kitchen trailer and dishwashing trailer can keep student meals on schedule while the building work is finished and inspected.
- High-country base camp meals in summer
- Crew support during wildfire road closures
- School meal service during kitchen repairs
Delivery from our Salt Lake City warehouse to Francis
We keep equipment in Salt Lake City, the Utah capital, and plan every delivery from there. Francis is about 35 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 Francis
State Route 32 passes through Francis and runs north to I-80 and south toward US 40 and US 189. From Salt Lake City, trailers can take I-80 east to State Route 32 and then south. SR-35 is closed in winter, so check UDOT Traffic.
The closest towns we serve are Kamas (about 3 miles), Hideout (7 miles), and Oakley (9 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
A fire that began near State Route 35 closed that highway for much of one fall, and the same road is closed each winter between mileposts 12 and 27. Remote access makes a 24/7 emergency kitchen or refrigeration deployment useful.

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.
