3.6m Catering Food Trailer

The 3.6m catering trailer is our mid-range event unit: 200 mm more working length than the 3.4m platform, which is enough to give a caterer a genuine separate prep zone at the back of the trailer without crowding the service line at the front. It is the size most often chosen by operators who feed 100 to 250 people per function and need to plate, hold and serve from one trailer.

A wide lift-up hatch across the front opens on gas struts to create the serving line, with a stainless counter running the full width beneath it. Customers are served from one long frontage rather than a narrow window, which is the difference between a smooth service and a queue that snakes around the trailer. The counter takes chafing dishes, bain-maries, platters and a till without the operator having to repack between courses.

The interior is laid out with the service run at the front, a prep and storage zone at the rear, and a stainless sink with drainers between them. Overhead cupboards run the length of both walls, keeping packaging, disposables and cleaning equipment out of the work zone. There is room for under-counter refrigeration on the service side and for a chest freezer at the rear, and the roof vent plus extractor bracket are fitted so a hood can be added in the field.

A fold-down entry step at the side door makes the trailer practical for staff in and out all day, particularly when the unit is standing on uneven event ground - the step folds up against the body for towing and locks down for use. Running gear is a braked tandem axle on leaf springs, sized for a loaded trailer with fridges, water and cooking equipment on board.

The body is finished in black as standard, with a sealed non-slip floor, insulated composite panels and wipe-clean linings throughout. Colour, branding and equipment specification are all set at order stage, so the trailer arrives configured for the menu you actually sell.
