Buying a Concession Trailer

Regardless of whether you're thinking about getting your toes wet in the food truck industry or you're preparing to upgrade your current trailer, keeping your goals, equipment needs, budget, and quality standards at the forefront of your mind is a must.

Map Out Your Goals

As with any important decision, it is essential to consider your future goals, both personal and professional, when purchasing a concession trailer. Are you entering the food truck industry as a short-term business venture with a partner? If so, a standard, 14-foot entry-level concession trailer may suit your temporary needs just fine. Are you someone who has operated a successful food truck business for years and now need more room or different equipment to take your services to the next level? If so, a 40-foot gooseneck porch trailer may be what you need. In either case, those who are looking to purchase a new trailer should consider what type of trailer will best help them accomplish their goals.

Understand Your Equipment Needs

Once you have determined what type of trailer is best suited for your current and future goals, it is important to consider what type of equipment you need to operate your business successfully. Depending on the needs of your business, the components inside of concession trailers can be customized in a variety of ways to streamline your daily operations and provide your customers with the efficient service they expect.

Choosing Concession Trailer Components

Let the fun begin! Now that you've decided to take the plunge and purchase a new concession trailer for your existing business or startup, you can begin to think about the different components that you want on the interior of your rig. Depending on what type of business you have, the options for various pieces of food trailer equipment are nearly endless. As you start to consider the possibilities, be sure to consider your food safety, storage, cooking, and cleanup needs.

Refrigeration and Storage Space

Keeping your cold foods at the right temperature is essential for food safety, and whether you have several packages of ground beef, cartons of eggs, or gallons of milk, you want to ensure these items are stored properly at all times. Additionally, it's beneficial to choose a refrigerator style that doesn't take up more space than necessary. There are many types of commercial refrigeration specially designed for food trucks, including:

• Worktop refrigerators. Because they are the same height as the counter in your trailer, these coolers serve a dual purpose between refrigeration and extra counter space for food prep.
• Reach-in refrigerators. Similar to the refrigerator you have in your home, these units are great for those who have large amounts of fruits, vegetables, and juices to store.
• Under-counter refrigerators. This type of cooler is especially great for maximizing the space of smaller food trucks, hiding conveniently under the counter.

In addition to refrigeration needs, it is important to consider your storage requirements for dry goods like flour, sugar, bread, as well as paper products like serving boats and napkins. Determining how many upper and lower cabinets you need prior to purchasing your unit will help avoid running out of room for the essentials. Choosing cabinets that can be secured and locked during transport is essential to prevent your supplies from spilling and becoming damaged as you move from one location to the next.

Prep Surfaces and Warming

Whether you're preparing mouthwatering gourmet burgers for your customers or delicious, frosty smoothies, the food prep and warming equipment in your trailer will be a vital aspect of your daily operations. For ease of cleaning and sanitation, many food trucks come equipped with several linear feet of stainless steel countertops for work space and food prep, but many manufacturers also offer prep surfaces that incorporate tools like cutting boards.

In addition to prep space, it's important to consider whether or not you will need some type of warming oven or holding units. If you're serving any type of cuisine that relies on hot goods being readily available at a moment's notice, this equipment will be central to your efficiency. Depending on the type of food you are serving, you may need food truck warming equipment that provides dry heat, wet heat, or both. Having the right warming equipment will allow you to cook, hold, and store items with long cook times and warm and reheat foods efficiently.

Cooking Elements

If you'll be preparing fresh, hot dishes for your customers, you want high-quality cooking components in your concession trailer. Just as you would approach outfitting your kitchen at home with all of the essential appliances, outfitting your food truck with the right pieces of equipment will allow you to cook food in a timely manner, meeting the needs of your customers who are crunched for time.

As you might expect, the types of components you require in your trailer will largely depend on the cuisine you specialize in. If your company is known for creating hot, crispy delicacies like corn dogs, french fries, or doughnuts, outfitting your unit with high-quality dual commercial fryers will be essential to your livelihood. Likewise, if you specialize in Philly cheese steaks or burgers, a charbroiler will be critical for your success as would a thermo griddle for a specialty pancake food truck operator.

Sinks and Dishwashers

Preparing food in the tight quarters of concession trailers can prove to be a messy business, and as you begin to contemplate the various interior components of your unit, thinking about the sinks that you'll require for things like food prep and hand cleanliness is critical. Additionally, three-compartment sinks have the important role of keeping your pots, pans, and utensils clean and sanitary.

If the size of your food truck won't accommodate a standard three-compartment sink or you prefer more convenience at the end of a long day, a commercial dishwasher specially designed for concession trailers may be a good option for you. Depending on your sanitation needs, commercial dishwashers for food trucks are available in two varieties: low-temperature, which rely primarily on chemicals to sanitize items, and high-temperature, which reach 180℉ and feature flash drying to accomplish sanitation needs.

In addition to food safety, storage, cooking, and cleaning components, features like fire suppression equipment, serving windows, and batteries are also important to consider for your new concession trailer. No matter what type of components you need for your daily operations, SDG Trailers can create a customized layout for your food truck that promotes streamlined and efficient food service.
