Low elevation, about 3,770 feet
At roughly 3,770 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.

Ranchester, Wyoming Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Ranchester began in 1894 as a railroad tie mill, supplied by a 35-mile log flume from the Bighorn Mountains, and was incorporated in 1911. At 3,770 feet in Sheridan County, it sits on US 14, the Bighorn Scenic Byway, near Connor Battlefield State Historic Site and a local brewery.
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 Ranchester site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Ranchester
A long haul from Cheyenne
Ranchester 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 Ranchester
Fourth of July festivities
Every July 4, the town hosts the Wyoming Wife Carrying Championship, a qualifier for the North American championships. The 2026 listing included registration, a race, music, and food vendors at the town hall park, so organizers may need extra cooking and cooling capacity for a holiday crowd.
Bighorn Mountain visitors
US 14 passes through town on the Bighorn Scenic Byway, so travelers heading to or from the mountains stop here. A restaurant, lodge, or group event that outgrows its fixed kitchen during the summer travel season can add a trailer for the season without a permanent expansion.
History site gatherings
Connor Battlefield State Historic Site preserves part of the Battle of the Tongue River location. Groups holding commemorations, reunions, or weekend gatherings nearby can use a kitchen trailer to serve a crowd without building or renting a temporary facility, subject to site approval.
- Fourth of July wife-carrying event food service
- Summer restaurant or lodge overflow
- Historic site and reunion catering
Delivery from our Cheyenne warehouse to Ranchester
We keep equipment in Cheyenne, the Wyoming capital, and plan every delivery from there. Ranchester 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 Ranchester
From Cheyenne, take I-25 north to I-90, then continue to exit 9, where US 14 heads west into Ranchester. Winter storms and wind can affect the interstate system, so check WYDOT conditions before dispatch.
The closest towns we serve are Dayton (about 5 miles), Lodge Grass (30 miles), and Clearmont (43 miles).
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Summer holiday crowds and Bighorn winter storms are the main pressure points. If a cooler or kitchen fails during a busy weekend, a 24/7 emergency deployment from Cheyenne can bring a replacement trailer.

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.
Why choose Simply Indians

Emergency refrigeration and kitchen rentals in Ranchester
When a cooler warms up overnight, a flood closes the kitchen, or an inspector shuts down the dish room, call us and we begin planning the replacement on that call. It helps to have the unit's make, your available power, and the site address ready.
Frequently asked questions
Who regulates food service for Ranchester events?
Sheridan County is not on the list of Wyoming counties with a local food program, so the state Department of Agriculture's Consumer Health Services generally handles licensing. Confirm with them, and ask about temporary event permits.
How do I plan for a July 4 event?
Book early for holiday weekends and share your headcount and menu with the health authority. The wife-carrying contest has run every July 4, so ask the town about its event hall and park layout.
Do you take emergency calls for Ranchester?
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 Ranchester 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.
