Low elevation, about 3,940 feet
At roughly 3,940 feet there is no altitude adjustment for burners, ovens, or dish-machine water. Humidity and heat matter more, and we plan refrigeration and ventilation around them.

Dayton, Wyoming Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Dayton sits at about 3,937 feet where the Tongue and Little Tongue rivers meet, just east of the Bighorn Mountains. It began as a Bozeman Trail stage stop and was incorporated in 1906. US 14 runs through town and climbs into the mountains along the Bighorn Scenic Byway, while Tongue River High School anchors the local schools.
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 Dayton site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Dayton
A long haul from Cheyenne
Dayton is about 285 miles in a straight line from our Cheyenne warehouse, so this is a planned delivery, not a same-day one. Road distance runs longer than that, and we confirm the route, permits, and timing at quote. In an emergency, call first and we start immediately.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Dayton
Dayton Days weekend
Every July, Dayton Days brings a parade, the Cow Pie Classic golf tournament, a trail run, and family events. Organizers or vendors serving that weekend crowd can use a mobile kitchen trailer for meals when the usual park and hall facilities are stretched.
Wildfire and flood response
The Elk Fire in October 2024 led to evacuation orders for Tongue River Canyon, and Tongue River High School closed for a day. A July 2025 flash flood closed US 14 west of town. Kitchen and sleeper trailers can feed and house responders and displaced residents.
Canyon and byway visitors
Tongue River Canyon draws hikers, anglers, and climbers, and the Bighorn Scenic Byway starts west of town. A lodge, restaurant, or campground operation that loses a cooler or kitchen in peak summer can bring in refrigeration or a temporary cooking line.
- Dayton Days weekend meals
- Wildfire and flood responder feeding
- Summer lodge cooler or kitchen backup
Delivery from our Cheyenne warehouse to Dayton
We keep equipment in Cheyenne, the Wyoming capital, and plan every delivery from there. Dayton is about 285 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 Dayton
From Cheyenne, take I-25 north to I-90 into Sheridan County, then US 14 west into Dayton. West of town US 14 climbs into the Bighorn Mountains and has closed in rainy weather, so plan to stage trailers in town and check WYDOT conditions.
The closest towns we serve are Ranchester (about 5 miles), Lodge Grass (31 miles), and Buffalo (46 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Dayton has faced a 2019 flood, the 2024 Elk Fire, and a 2025 flash flood on the Little Tongue River. Wildfire, flooding, and deep winter cold are the realistic triggers for emergency kitchens, shelter feeding, and replacement refrigeration.

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
What if US 14 is closed by a slide or fire?
Dayton is east of the Bighorn Mountains, so a closure west of town should not block approach from the east. Closures in Sheridan County do change with weather and fire, so check WYDOT and county emergency management for current conditions.
Who approves a kitchen trailer for Dayton Days?
Wyoming food licensing runs through the Wyoming Department of Agriculture's Consumer Health Services, with local involvement in some counties. Ask the state and the county health office what a temporary event or emergency kitchen requires, and check with the Dayton Days organizers.
Do you take emergency calls for Dayton?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and emergency deployment starts with a phone call to (888) 385-5513. Equipment ships from our Cheyenne warehouse, and we confirm availability and delivery time to Dayton when we quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation only. Nothing is held until we have confirmed availability, delivery time, and terms with you.
