Food trailers
Turn your menu into a practical mobile kitchen. We build food trailers with metal chassis, bodies and floors, stainless preparation areas and serving hatches arranged around your equipment and the people using it. Bring the whole business idea: the trailer, kitchen fitout and specialist equipment can be scoped together before the build begins.

04 / The practical details
Questions about custom food trailers and mobile kitchens.
Can you quote the whole food trailer project?
Yes. Start with the menu and the way you want to operate. We can scope the trailer, stainless fitout and selected equipment as one project, with purchased appliances and specialist plumbing, gas and electrical work identified in the quote. This makes the final setup easier to compare and budget for.
Can I supply my own appliances?
Yes. Send the exact models, installation information, dimensions and weights before the layout is settled. Door openings, ventilation, heat clearances and service access all affect the surrounding metalwork. The quote will distinguish customer-supplied equipment from equipment being purchased for the build.
How do you plan the trailer for towing?
We consider the tow vehicle, trailer layout, running gear and expected loaded equipment together. Water, stock and appliances affect the finished weight and its distribution. The job-specific design and required road-use checks are agreed before manufacture. The tow rating is confirmed for the agreed build.
Can the build follow my food-business requirements?
Yes. Bring your operational requirements and any feedback from the people reviewing your food business. We can incorporate the agreed surfaces, sinks, storage, ventilation and cleaning access. Any inspections, documentation and specialist sign-offs are identified in the project scope rather than assumed from the shell price.
