The lineup

Five sizes.
Every one built custom.

The footprint is the only thing that comes off a list. Layout, equipment, finish and systems are specified around your concept and the requirements where you plan to operate.

Compact
8×12

The entry point. Tight, mobile, fast to park.

Our most maneuverable build. The 8×12 is designed for single-concept menus and solo or two-person operations — coffee, desserts, hot dogs, specialty items. Easy to tow, easy to place, and the lowest barrier into ownership.

8 by 14 foot custom food trailer finished in a full custom wrap
Compact +
8×14

Two more feet. A meaningfully different kitchen.

The 8×14 buys you the room for a real cook line without moving into a larger tow class. A common choice for focused menus that still need a griddle, refrigeration and prep space working at the same time.

8×16

Most built

The workhorse. Most concepts fit here.

The size we build most often. The 8×16 supports a full cook line, dedicated refrigeration, and a prep zone that does not fight the service window. If you are unsure where to start, start here.

High capacity
8×18

Volume-ready. Built for lines that do not stop.

Designed around throughput. The 8×18 gives you space for high-output cooking equipment, a genuine expo area, and enough refrigeration to run long days without a mid-shift restock.

8×20

Maximum kitchen. Full commercial capability, mobile.
