About 7,260 feet up
Elk Mountain sits high enough that water boils near 197°F. Baking times, pasta, and hot-water sanitizing all shift, so we go over burner settings and water heater capacity with you before delivery.

Where a mobile kitchen helps in Elk Mountain
I-80 closures and stranded travelers
Wind and snow regularly close or restrict I-80 near Elk Mountain, and an April 2026 storm sent semis sliding off the interstate. When travelers or truckers are held for hours, a kitchen and sleeper trailer can supply meals and rest.
Hotel and guest kitchen outage
The Elk Mountain Hotel offers about a dozen rooms and has long served weekend visitors and sportsmen. Any lodging or restaurant here that loses a kitchen or cooler could use a trailer to keep serving guests while repairs are made.
Hunting and snowmobile season camps
Carbon County promotes hunting, fishing, camping, and snowmobiling, and outfitters or groups that set up seasonal camps in the area may need a cooking line, showers, and sleepers. A kitchen trailer and sleeper units suit a camp that is a long drive from the nearest restaurant.

Delivery from our Cheyenne warehouse to Elk Mountain
We keep equipment in Cheyenne, the Wyoming capital, and plan every delivery from there. Elk Mountain is about 90 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 Elk Mountain
From Cheyenne, take I-80 west to Exit 255, then WYO 72 south about four miles into Elk Mountain. High wind and snow regularly restrict I-80 here, especially for light, high-profile loads, so check WYDOT closures before departure.
From Elk Mountain, Hanna is about 15 miles away, Medicine Bow about 18 miles, and Rock River about 23 miles, so one route can often serve more than one of them.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Wind and heavy snow make the I-80 stretch near Elk Mountain a frequent closure point. Stranded travelers, power outages, and cooler failures during storms are situations a 24/7 emergency deployment can address.

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
How does wind affect hauling a trailer here?
WYDOT restricts light and high-profile vehicles on I-80 near Elk Mountain when winds rise. A trailer can be held at a closure gate until conditions clear, so check WYDOT's road report and leave room in the schedule.
Does altitude matter for cooking in the trailer?
Elk Mountain is at about 7,264 feet, so water boils at a lower temperature and some recipes need longer times or adjusted ratios. The equipment itself is standard commercial gear.
How fast can a trailer get to Elk Mountain if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Elk Mountain site is, and we check availability from our Cheyenne warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. We confirm availability, delivery time, and terms with you before anything is reserved.
