Gunnison, Utah Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Gunnison lies at 5,138 feet in southwestern Sanpete County, with Main Street following US 89. Founded in 1859, it is named for Army officer John W. Gunnison. Institutions here include the Central Utah Correctional Facility, opened in 1990 about half a mile northeast of downtown, and Gunnison Valley Hospital, a critical access hospital whose roots go back to 1932.
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 Gunnison site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Gunnison
January lows near 20°F
Gunnison sees January lows near 20°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 94°F
Warm summers, with highs near 94°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
Gunnison 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 Gunnison
Correctional facility kitchen outage
The Central Utah Correctional Facility houses male offenders and serves meals every day. If a kitchen is closed for repair or inspection, a corrections operator could bring in a mobile kitchen and dishwashing trailer to continue meal service, subject to security and agency approval.
Hospital or care facility kitchen downtime
Gunnison Valley Hospital is a critical access hospital. A dietary department dealing with a failed walk-in cooler, a dish machine breakdown, or a kitchen renovation would need refrigeration or dish capacity quickly, and a temporary trailer can fill that gap while repairs are done.
Evacuation or contamination events
In 2007, a leak of over 24,000 gallons of gasoline from a Main Street gas station led to the evacuation of a block and business closures. Incidents like that can displace food service operators, who might use a trailer kitchen to keep serving customers.
- Temporary kitchen for institutional meal service
- Dish line during kitchen repairs
- Backup cooler for hospital or care kitchens
Delivery from our Salt Lake City warehouse to Gunnison
We keep equipment in Salt Lake City, the Utah capital, and plan every delivery from there. Gunnison 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 Gunnison
From Salt Lake City, I-15 south reaches exit 222, where SR 28 begins. That highway runs about 43 miles to Gunnison and ends at US 89 in the center of town. Check UDOT for winter conditions on the valley highway.
From Gunnison, Centerfield is about 2 miles away, Fayette about 5 miles, and Mayfield about 6 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
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 handles food permits in Sanpete County?
Sanpete County is in the Central Utah Public Health Department district. Contact them about temporary kitchens, and for hospitals, care facilities, or correctional kitchens also check with the state agency that licenses or oversees your facility.
Can a trailer be placed on a secure or institutional site?
It depends on the facility's security rules, utility access, and layout. Your administrators and licensing authority decide what is allowed, so coordinate with them and tell us about the site's power, water, and access constraints.

Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Gunnison site is, and we check availability from our Salt Lake City warehouse and quote the delivery.
