The 8.5 x 16 Black Event Trailer is a versatile mid-size concession unit finished in black, built with two different serving openings and a generator platform. A 5-foot glass serving window plus a 5-foot glassless flip-down window give a vendor flexible service options in an easy-to-tow length.

Built for flexible event service

The dual-opening design is what makes this unit adaptable: a 5-foot serving window with glass and screens handles standard service, while a 5-foot flip-down window with no glass opens wide for high-volume hand-off or display. A generator platform on the extended tongue keeps you running off-grid, a 6-gallon electric water heater supports cleanup, and the insulated black cabin holds temperature. It is a capable base for a catering or food truck operation.
