Thermopolis, Wyoming Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
At 4,334 feet, Thermopolis is the Hot Springs County seat, set at the north end of Wind River Canyon. Its draw is Hot Springs State Park, where Big Spring feeds a free public bathhouse and a state-kept bison herd lives in the park. Tourism, summer fair and pageant events, and a critical access hospital shape food-service demand through the year.
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 Thermopolis site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Thermopolis
Delivery from Cheyenne
About 245 miles in a straight line from our Cheyenne warehouse. That is a regional delivery: we confirm the road route, any seasonal limits, and the timing when we quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Thermopolis
Fair and pageant weeks
The Gift of the Waters Pageant is held at Big Spring on the first weekend of August, and the Hot Springs County Fair runs the week before, with rodeo events around it. A caterer or event operator could run those back-to-back weeks with a mobile kitchen and a dishwashing trailer.
Wind River Canyon closures
US 20 and WYO 789 run through a canyon about 2,400 feet deep, and rockfall, slides and storms close it a few times each winter with no easy alternate. A kitchen or walk-in failure during a closure cannot be fixed with a quick parts run, so self-contained units matter.
Health facility remodels
Tourism is economically important here, and the hospital district and care facilities serve residents year-round. Remodels or equipment outages at a kitchen that feeds patients or residents can be bridged by a mobile kitchen and low-temperature dishwashing trailer while the permanent one is offline.
- Fair and pageant week catering and dishwashing
- Tourist season lodge kitchen backup
- Refrigeration when Wind River Canyon closes
Delivery from our Cheyenne warehouse to Thermopolis
We keep equipment in Cheyenne, the Wyoming capital, and plan every delivery from there. Thermopolis is about 245 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 Thermopolis
From Cheyenne, trailers go north on I-25, then west on US 20/26 and north on US 20 through Wind River Canyon into town. The canyon is narrow, runs past tunnels, and WYDOT closes it for rockfall and storms a few times each winter. Check WYDOT or call 511 before moving.
If your project spans more than one site, East Thermopolis, about 1 mile from Thermopolis, and Worland, about 29 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Shoshoni at 29 miles.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Deep winter cold, with a record low of minus 44, and rockfall or storm closures of Wind River Canyon can leave a failed cooler or kitchen without quick repair options. Emergency 24/7 deployment addresses that gap, with transit timing tied to WYDOT reopening.

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 permit does a temporary kitchen need in Hot Springs County?
Wyoming food licensing runs through the Wyoming Department of Agriculture's Consumer Health Services, and temporary event licenses are tied to a single event. Some counties handle plan review for mobile units locally, so ask the state and the county which applies before an event.
Does altitude affect cooking in Thermopolis?
Thermopolis sits at 4,334 feet, a moderate elevation where commercial cooking works as usual, though water boils at a slightly lower temperature. Ask about propane or electric hookups and ventilation, and plan for both summer heat and winter cold, since the area sees wide temperature extremes.
Can you deploy a kitchen to Thermopolis in an emergency?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Cheyenne warehouse, and the delivery time to Thermopolis depends on the equipment and the road, which we confirm in your quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
Not by itself. We reply with availability, timing, and terms first, and equipment is reserved only after you agree to them.
