1. Introduction to Food Trailers
Food trailers are towable kitchens built inside an enclosed trailer—designed to be towed by a separate vehicle. Unlike food trucks, they don’t have their own engine, which gives them several unique advantages.
Affordability & Lower Maintenance
Without an engine or drivetrain, food trailers typically cost less to buy and maintain. You only deal with kitchen equipment, not vehicle repairs or mechanical issues
More Interior Space
Since there’s no driver’s cab, almost the entire trailer can be used for cooking, prep, and storage. This makes trailers perfect for extensive menus or larger-scale cooking operations.
Customizable Layouts
Food trailers offer ultimate flexibility—you can design the interior exactly as needed, choosing equipment, shelving, windows, and counters based on your concept
Operational Flexibility
You can detach the trailer to gather supplies while continuing to operate if you have power and water—something a truck can’t easily allow
| Feature | Custom Trailer | Stock Trailer |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen Layout | Fully tailored to your menu & flow | Pre-set layouts, limited options |
| Equipment Choice | Choose exact equipment needed | Varies—may require upgrades |
| Compliance | Built to meet your local codes | May need extra work to pass inspections |
| Branding & Design | Fully branded (wraps, paint, logos) | More basic exterior options |
Custom trailers give you total control over design, size, and features—ideal for serious entrepreneurs. Stock trailers offer a faster build and lower cost, but may fall short on functionality or brand identity.
In short: food trailers offer cost-effectiveness, more space, and personalized layouts. They’re perfect for those wanting a custom mobile kitchen without the extra cost and complexity of vehicle maintenance.
2. Why Buy a Food Trailer from Us
When you’re starting a food business, the trailer you choose can make or break your operation. Here’s why smart entrepreneurs across the U.S. trust us to build their mobile kitchens:
You don’t need to go through a middleman. We build and sell our trailers directly from our factory, which means you get a better price without markups. You get more trailer for your money—and that gives you more room to invest in your business, your brand, and your ingredients.
Every menu is different. So every trailer should be, too. Whether you’re serving tacos, coffee, BBQ, or desserts, we build your trailer around your workflow. You choose the size, equipment, layout, and extras. Need a steam table? Extra fridge space? A second window? We make it happen—your way.
We use high-quality materials and commercial-grade equipment designed for everyday use. Our trailers are made to handle the heat, grease, and hustle of real kitchen work. From the walls to the water system, everything is installed with care and tested before it leaves our shop.

With us, you’re not buying a cookie-cutter trailer. You’re investing in a professional build that’s designed to make your food business run smoothly, stay compliant, and attract customers wherever you park.
3. Food Trailer Types & Styles
Not all food trailers are the same—and that’s a good thing! The best trailer is the one that fits your food, your process, and your goals. Whether you’re cooking on the go or serving at big events, we build trailers designed for specific styles of cuisine.
Built for speed and flavor. These trailers usually feature a flat-top griddle, steam table, cold prep area, and large serving window. Perfect for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more. Quick to serve and perfect for busy spots.
Designed to handle the heat. Our BBQ trailers are equipped with smokers, charbroilers, warming cabinets, and heavy-duty prep space. Some even include an exterior mounted smoker or grill. Ideal for ribs, brisket, and southern-style cooking.
Compact and efficient. These mobile cafés come with espresso machines, refrigerators, sinks, and work counters—all optimized for speed and cleanliness. Great for morning events, office parks, and farmers markets.
Sweet, simple, and profitable. Whether you’re selling ice cream, donuts, funnel cakes, or pastries, we build dessert trailers with display freezers, fryers, and cold storage to keep things fresh and fun.
Want to serve wood-fired or oven-baked pizzas? We offer trailers with pizza ovens, prep counters, and topping stations. A must-have for festivals, catering, and late-night events.
For pitmasters who want serious cooking power. These trailers feature built-in smokers (inside or outside the trailer), heavy-duty prep stations, and lots of storage for meat and supplies.
Each trailer is designed with the right equipment, layout, and ventilation for your specific menu. Whether you’re serving tacos downtown or coffee in the countryside, we can build a setup that works the way you need it to.
Let your food trailer reflect your passion—and your brand. Tell us what you’re cooking, and we’ll help you choose the right build.
4. Available Sizes & Layout Options
Food trailers come in different shapes and sizes to fit your space, budget, and cooking needs. Choosing the right size and layout is one of the most important steps when planning your build.
Here are the most common trailer sizes and what they’re best for:
6×12 ft – Great for small setups like coffee, drinks, or desserts. Easy to tow and ideal for beginners.
7×14 ft – A little more room for cooking and prep. Good for light meal services like sandwiches or tacos.
8.5×16 ft – One of the most popular sizes. Offers space for cooking, prep, storage, and a second person inside.
8.5×20+ ft – Great for full-service kitchens or large menus. Room for multiple staff members, extra equipment, or even customer-facing windows on both sides.
A V-nose has a pointed front instead of a flat one. This gives you extra space for storage or equipment while improving aerodynamics when towing. It’s a popular choice for adding a sink, fridge, or cabinet in that front section.
Gooseneck trailers connect to a hitch in the bed of a truck (instead of behind it). They’re longer, more stable, and can handle heavier equipment. Ideal for large builds like BBQ smokers, pizza ovens, or full kitchens with multiple stations.
Some food trailers now include a small bathroom with a toilet and hand sink—especially useful for events or long shifts where no public restrooms are nearby. These builds are longer and must be designed to meet local plumbing codes.
No matter what size or layout you choose, we work with you to design a space that makes cooking fast, efficient, and comfortable. Tell us your menu, and we’ll help you pick the size and shape that fits your vision.

12. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Starting a food business can feel overwhelming—so here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from first-time buyers:
A food truck is a self-driving vehicle with a kitchen built inside. A food trailer is towed by another vehicle but offers more space and usually costs less. Trailers are easier to maintain because they don’t have an engine or transmission to worry about. Many owners also like that trailers can be unhitched and left on-site while they resupply or move their tow vehicle.
Yes. Every trailer we build is designed to meet health department standards, including:
3-compartment and handwashing sinks
Proper water tanks and plumbing
Food-safe, easy-to-clean surfaces
Fire safety systems (when needed)
Let us know your city or state—we’ll make sure your trailer is built to local requirements.
Yes, you’ll need a food truck or trailer license, often issued by your local health department or city. You may also need a business license, a food handler’s permit, and sometimes a fire department inspection. While we don’t handle paperwork, we build your trailer so it’s ready for inspection.
Great question! Your menu should guide your layout.
Making tacos? You’ll want a griddle, steam table, and cold prep station near the serving window.
Serving BBQ? You’ll need space for a smoker, cutting table, and warming cabinet.
