With an estimated 2,305 residents, Colfax usually has only one or two large food-service operations carrying schools, care facilities and community events. A school kitchen renovation is the classic case: the work often runs through a summer or a semester, and a rented kitchen lets meal service continue while the permanent one is rebuilt. Share the address and what is being renovated, and Emergency Relief Services will help match the equipment to the site.
A kitchen trailer is a long vehicle, so the route into Colfax matters. Straight-line, the city is about 21 miles west of Des Moines, IA, and drivers coming from there reach the city by way of I-80 and local roads. Our drivers appreciate a named contact at the Colfax site who can open a gate or move a vehicle, and it saves a second trip. Overall setup runs about 5 hours for a kitchen or dishwashing trailer and about 1 hour for most other units once the trailer is in position. Access details change by site. Give us the address, the hookups and any restrictions and we will confirm the plan in your quote.
Iowa is no stranger to derechos, and when it hits, a city like Colfax needs temporary power-ready facilities faster than a rebuild can deliver them. After a loss, the first questions are always where to cook, where to keep food cold and where to wash dishes, and trailers answer all three without waiting for construction. Call (888) 385-5513 any hour and say what has failed; we will take it from there.
Public records show that derechos and river flooding regularly disrupt communities across Iowa, including places the size of Colfax. We describe this as context, not as a claim about any past job: this page does not say Emergency Relief Services served a specific event in Colfax. Facilities that plan ahead, for example a care home or school in the city that already knows who to call, restart food service days sooner than those that start from scratch. We can walk through a short continuity checklist with your team for Colfax.
Public works, school bond projects and private builds keep contractors busy around Colfax, and each phase has its own appetite for food service and crew facilities.

Send the schedule and the headcount and we will size the package for Colfax.
Remote and industrial worksites around Colfax often outgrow local lodging. That is where remote workforce housing trailers, a camp kitchen and showers come in. Crews on remote jobs tend to favor trailers they can move as the work advances, which is a good fit for the units we rent. Pricing for camp packages depends on the units chosen and the term; we confirm everything in a written quote.
In Colfax, tornado season changes what an operator needs: cold storage when it is hot, heated and insulated space when it is cold, and power plans for storms. Storm season brings power interruptions. Tell us if your the city site has a generator hookup so that we can plan equipment to match. Fall brings contractors racing to close buildings before winter, which tightens availability, so early requests for the city work best. We are happy to plan around tornado season for your Colfax site.
Our phone line is staffed 24/7 for Colfax requests, and the first question is always the same: what has to keep working, and for how many people? A 24 or 28 foot kitchen suits many care homes and school cafeterias, while 38 and 40 foot kitchens add a deep fryer, tilting skillet or a walk-in cooler for higher volume. If the Colfax site has limited space, we can look at shorter trailers or at splitting a package across two smaller units. Tell us the date you need the unit and we will confirm what can be arranged for Colfax.
