Lusk, Wyoming Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Lusk is where US 18, US 20 and US 85 meet, at roughly 5,000 feet in Niobrara County. Cattle ranching remains the main industry. A county hospital, Niobrara County School District #1 and the state-run Wyoming Women's Center add institutional demand, while July brings the Legend of Rawhide pageant and the county fair.
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 Lusk site.

Where a mobile kitchen helps in Lusk
Legend of Rawhide weekend
Each year on the second weekend of July, volunteers stage the Legend of Rawhide, a pageant that began in 1946, in the fairgrounds arena. Hosting organizations and caterers feeding cast, crew and audience could use a trailer kitchen and dishwashing unit placed beside the arena.
Niobrara County Fair
The county fair dates to 1911 and runs for about a week in late July. Fair boards, 4-H and vendor groups handle large meal volumes in short windows, which can outgrow the fairground's permanent kitchen and make a rented line and dish station useful.
Institutional kitchen failure
Lusk has a 24-bed hospital and a state women's corrections facility, both on fixed meal schedules. If a range, walk-in cooler or dish machine fails in a facility like these, a replacement kitchen or refrigeration trailer keeps food safe and meals on time.
- Legend of Rawhide pageant weekend catering
- County fair meal service overflow
- Hospital or corrections kitchen outage cover
Delivery from our Cheyenne warehouse to Lusk
We keep equipment in Cheyenne, the Wyoming capital, and plan every delivery from there. Lusk is about 115 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 Lusk
From Cheyenne, US 85 runs north-northeast most of the way to Lusk, sharing pavement with US 26 for a stretch, and meets US 18 and US 20 in the middle of town. Check WYDOT conditions in winter, since storms can disrupt highways across the plains.
The closest towns we serve are Glendo (about 34 miles), Guernsey (37 miles), and Fort Laramie (38 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Lusk winters are cold and dry, with a record low of minus 38 degrees. A freezer or heating failure at a care or corrections kitchen cannot wait on parts, which is the case 24/7 emergency deployment is meant to cover.

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 do I contact about fairgrounds space for a trailer?
Local reporting says the Niobrara County Fair Board, appointed by the county commissioners, manages the fair. Ask the board about placement, power, water and sewer hookups before planning a trailer. Also confirm food licensing with the county health department or the state Consumer Health Services office.
When is the Legend of Rawhide each year?
Local news describes it as held the second weekend of July at the Niobrara County Fairgrounds. Dates can shift, so confirm with the Legend of Rawhide organizers before booking, and ask the county health department what food permits visiting vendors need.
