This blog post examines our expertise in various Equipment and Appliance options for a typical mobile food business.
STOCK EQUIPMENT
When it comes to customizing a food trailer, there are so many factors and items to consider, and some of the most important things can be overlooked. That's why we include all the basic necessities stock on all of our trailers; including a 3-compartment sink with drainboards and separated hand sink, Water Faucets/Heaters/Pumps, fresh water tank with hose inlet and 50% larger waste tank with drainage valve, 304 stainless steel counters and dry storage shelving, led lighting interior, the full electrical system with GFCI outlets, the full tow package including DOT approved taillights, etc, and any color for your trailer body to help match your branding. But we also know that you’ll need more than the basics, so let's go over some equipment your trailer and food truck business might need.
DRY STORAGE
Efficient storage is critical for mobile food businesses. Whether you're prepping on the go or serving at high-traffic events, having organized dry storage can make a huge difference in productivity. We offer solutions like overhead shelving, under-counter storage, and sliding cabinet doors. These options maximize your workspace while ensuring essential tools—like cutlery, plates, and ingredients—are always within arm's reach.
Refrigerators and freezers are probably the most requested, and a very important part of a mobile vending business operation. Refrigeration is considered one of the most essential pieces of equipment not only for storage but for prep as well. We offer a large selection of refrigeration, from display freezers to under-counter refrigerators, including ETL NSF Approved options upon request. These will allow your concession cart business to prepare products for the day or keep them fresh after they’ve been prepped!
Now let's get to the differentiator in many operations, the cooking appliances. These are, without a doubt, some of the most important pieces of equipment in your mini food trailer and can make or break your business if they aren't properly equipped and mapped out for efficiency. We offer griddles and grills that will allow you to cook just about anything at a venue. We even offer appliances like stoves, rotisseries, ovens, microwaves, and so much more for food carts. Having these options allows food trailers and concession carts like ours to be very versatile. Arete now offer ETL gas versions of these various cooking appliances for your food truck to be fully built in and equipped.
For some operations, the staples of cooking appliances aren't enough, sometimes you need appliances a little more unique to get the flavor profile you are looking for. Appliances like Popcorn machines, Smoothie makers, Smokers, Salamanders, Snow cone machines, etc. At Arete we offer specialty appliances that can meet the needs of all kinds of business and event types! Popcorn makers are great for carnivals and outdoor movies while waffle makers make perfect breakfast food at weekend events. At Arete we build everything fully custom, so if you have your Grandma's ol' 30 lb mixer that needs to be at 33" height, we'll make a custom cutout inside the trailer, free of charge, for you to put in any of your own equipment.
Now that we've gone over some of the equipment your business might need to prepare and make your product, it's time to display it for customers! Letting people see what you're selling is essential in any industry and with display case products like our heated or cooling glass displays, you'll be able to show off all of your delicious products without compromising space! Display fridges are also a great idea if you can't keep things out very long but want customers to get a glimpse before they buy.
