Developing a unique food truck or custom BBQ trailer that is both eye-catching and practical is a task that should be entrusted to professionals. That is why it is so important to familiarize yourself with the process and contact one-stop trailer-building shops like Golden State Trailers.
About trailer building
To get started, all you need to do is fill out a short form with the required mobile kitchen parameters. From there, you can:
- Create a detailed description of the ready-made trailer, and take into account the chosen field of activity and requirements
- Correctly allocate the space for convenient customer service and food production
- Construct an instantly recognizable style for brand recognition and curb appeal
What type of food trailer should I order?
In order to construct the ideal food trailer, one must first determine what they will be serving. Is it…
- hot dogs
- ice cream
- BBQ
- tacos
- pizza
- coffee
From there, you can determine dimensions, which at Golden State Trailers is represented by two very popular versions. You can opt for a 16-foot-long setup, which has enough space for two people to work, alongside all of the mandatory appliances and food prep space. Then, there is the 20-foot model, which can accommodate another cook and allow ample room for more culinary gear.

What to do if you don’t have enough money to start a food truck business
Starting a new business without sufficient funding may seem impossible, but nowadays there is no shortage of investors or loan opportunities. All you need to do is contact a financial institution that:
- offers flexible credit terms
- takes into account the sphere of activity and its particular needs
- is characterized by soft requirements for the borrower
This will allow you to transfer funds to a specified account, with zero need to visit a branch, while providing flexible interest rates throughout.
How to design your own food truck
There are many advantages to developing a customized project like a food trailer or a food truck. However, there are some considerations that must first be weighed…
- selecting the required length (from 16 to 30 feet)
- defining the type of truck required (will there be a refrigerator and oven?)
- specifying the required equipment for cooking and packaging meals to go
- vinyl graphics and color schemes for marketing and branding
- additional equipment (CCTV cameras, audio system, mirror ball, etc.)
