Thinking of Running a Food Truck? Start Here.

Launching a mobile food business is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming if you don't know where to start. Choosing the right food trailer is a huge part of the journey. The good news? This 4-meter red mobile fast food trailer is designed to simplify the entire process—from setup to service.

In this guide, we'll walk you through every step to get your mobile kitchen up and running. Whether you're frying chicken, serving burgers, or crafting gourmet hot dogs, you'll be ready to hit the road with confidence.

Step 1: Understand the Size and Structure

Before anything else, let's talk dimensions. This trailer is:

• 4 meters long

• 2 meters wide

• 2.3 meters high

• Built with dual axles and four wheels

• Includes a reliable braking system

It's big enough to function like a small restaurant kitchen—but compact enough to tow easily and fit into food truck zones or festivals.

Step 2: Check the Power and Compliance

This trailer is ready to plug and play in the U.S., so you won't need to worry about rewiring or adaptors.

• Voltage: 110V / 60Hz

• Sockets: 8 American-standard power outlets

• External Plug: U.S.-compatible power port

You can connect your fryers, beverage cooler, POS system, and lights with ease.

Step 3: Set Up Your Kitchen Layout

Inside the trailer, everything is pre-installed or prepped for quick setup:

• Stainless steel wall panels for hygiene and easy cleaning

• Full-length workbench with storage cabinets underneath

• 3+1 sink system (three wash sinks + one hand sink)

• Hot and cold faucet system

• Built-in cash drawer for quick transactions

You'll also find space for a fryer, griddle, gas stove, and a 2m dual-temp fridge and beverage cooler.

Step 4: Install Cooking Equipment and Ventilation

This trailer is designed for serious cooking. Here's how to get it all set up:

• Place your fryer and griddle in the recessed workstation under the hood

• Connect them to the gas line, which comes with three control valves

• Turn on the 2-meter range hood for smoke ventilation

• Use the American-style chimney to direct fumes away

• Enjoy cool, clean air with the built-in air conditioner

The design keeps everything level and ergonomic for your staff.

“I loved how everything had a place—from the fryer pit to the drink fridge. It really made training my team easier.” – Ryan G., First-time Food Truck Owner

Step 5: Customize the Exterior for Your Brand

You'll be proud to show off this trailer, thanks to:

• Bold RAL 3000 red exterior paint

• Full logo wrap across the body

• Rooftop lightbox sign for day and night visibility

• A matching AC unit box mounted on the exterior

These features make your trailer feel more like a storefront on wheels.

Step 6: Final Prep Before Launch

Once your equipment is in place and you've customized the look, do a final checklist before your first service:

✅ Test all appliances and power sockets
✅ Fill water tanks and check plumbing
✅ Stock your fridge, drink cooler, and dry storage
✅ Make sure your cash drawer and POS are connected
✅ Do a walk-through to test the flow from prep to service window

Step 7: Open Your Window and Start Selling

The serving window is located on the left-hand side as you enter, and it includes a sales counter that makes it easy to take orders and serve food. This setup allows for a clear workflow: prep > cook > serve.

Customers line up outside, your team works efficiently inside—it's a smooth system from day one.
