Gold Coast, Queensland · Any event, anywhere

Your idea. Your trailer. Your business.

Coffee, burgers, tacos, desserts, catering — even a tattoo studio. We help you turn the idea into a trailer that looks the part and works like a proper commercial workspace.

Honest by design

Australian made, or Chinese made. You choose.

We’re completely upfront about where every trailer is made. Manufacturing costs differ hugely between Australia and China — in some cases an Australian-built trailer costs close to twice as much. For some customers, that’s exactly what they want. For others, the saving is the difference between a bare trailer and a fully fitted-out, branded business that’s trading.

Built at Jacobs Well, Gold Coast

Australian made

Local manufacture for customers who want it built close to home, with local support at every step.

  • Built on the Gold Coast
  • Visit the build in person
  • Ideal for heavily customised layouts

Through established manufacturing partners

Overseas built

Not a catalogue-and-container operation. We travel to the factories, review construction, inspect builds and push for improvements.

  • Put more of your budget into equipment & branding
  • Galvanised dipped chassis
  • Australian testing & engineering built into the process

Same standards of attention either way. Tell us your budget and your concept — we’ll tell you which path makes sense.

The design studio

Imagine it. We’ll wrap it.

You’re not limited to plain white. Before you commit, we mock up your trailer in your theme — single colour, bold graphics or a full custom wrap — so you see your business on the road before it’s built.

Built for the job

It has to look good. It also has to work.

A food trailer needs to travel, handle the Australian environment, and function as a proper commercial workspace once it arrives. So we pay attention to what a photograph doesn’t show.

How it works

From first chat to first customer.

The conversation

What are you selling? Where? How many serves an hour? We work through layout, equipment, power, storage and budget.

Concept & quote

A layout, a wrap mock-up and a clear quote — and a straight answer on Australian-built versus overseas-built.

The build

We’re involved throughout: specs, inspections and improvements with the manufacturer. You get progress photos.

Compliance & delivery

We work with engineers and compliance professionals so the trailer is properly set up for Australian roads and commercial use.

Hit the road

Handover, a walk-through of every system, and a trailer that’s practical, professional and ready to trade.

Food is just the start.
If it can be mobile, we can build it.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked

Is an overseas-built trailer really a good idea?

It can be — if someone is genuinely watching the build. That’s our job. We visit the factories, inspect construction and push for changes. For many first-time operators, the saving lets them buy better equipment and branding instead of a bigger loan. For others, an Australian build is the better fit — so we offer both.

Will it be legal to register and trade in Australia?

That’s the question to ask any trailer seller. Before you pay a deposit we’ll confirm in writing how the specific model you’re buying is brought into the Australian system, its ATM and what’s needed to register it. Food, gas and electrical rules are also set by your state and local council — we’ll point you to what applies to your concept.

Gas or electric?

Either, depending on your concept, equipment and the rules that apply where you’ll trade. Tell us what you’ll be cooking and we’ll design the power and gas around it.

Can I choose my own colours and branding?

Yes. From a single colour to a full custom wrap. We’ll mock it up before the build starts.

What does it cost?

Every build is different, so we quote per project. A bare-bones compact and a fully fitted twin-window kitchen are very different trailers. Tell us your budget and concept and we’ll show you what it buys.

Can I come and see one?

Yes — get in touch and we’ll arrange a viewing on the Gold Coast.
