The 8.5 x 16 White Custom Trailer is a code-conscious concession unit with an 8-foot commercial grease hood and a properly vented, trapped plumbing system, finished in white on heavier 5,200-pound axles. Built with careful attention to drainage and ventilation, it is a clean, inspection-ready base for a serious cooking operation.
Built for code-ready cooking
This build is set up to pass inspection: an 8-foot by 36-inch commercial grease hood ventilates the cookline, the waste tank is vented through the roof, air gaps are built into all drain lines, and a P-trap sits centered under the hand sink with a three-compartment trap at the center sink. A 5-foot concession window keeps service moving, dual 100-pound propane cages keep fuel ready, and the insulated cabin holds temperature. It is a clean base for a catering or food truck operation.
