The 8.5 x 18 Red Catering Trailer is a well-equipped mid-to-large concession unit with dual 5-foot windows and a 5-foot commercial grease hood, finished in bold red. Built on heavier 5,200-pound axles, it gives a catering crew two-sided service and real cooking ventilation in a roomy 18-foot kitchen.
Built for two-sided, ventilated service
This unit is set up for volume: a pair of 5-foot concession windows with glass, screens, and flip-up counters lets you serve from two sides to clear a line faster, while a 5-foot commercial grease hood ventilates a real cookline so the cabin stays workable and inspection-ready. A 100-amp panel with independent circuits powers the equipment, a 100-pound propane cage on the rear keeps fuel handy, and a generator platform keeps you running off-grid. It is a capable base for a catering or food truck operation.
