Before We Talk About Trailers, Let's Talk About Your Menu.
Someone from our Waycross shop will be reaching out shortly. We don't know yet if a custom SDG build is the right fit for you, and that's what the conversation is for. In the meantime, here's how we build, what it costs, and who we've built for.
What Happens Next
Clear expectations. No surprise tactics or aggressive follow-up scripts.
We'll call you.
A real person from our Waycross shop, not an automated call center. Save (800) 380-9743 in your phone so you know it's us when your phone rings.
We'll ask a lot of questions.
What you're cooking, how many people you serve in a rush, where you will park, and what you tow with. The trailer layout follows the work, never the other way around.
You'll get a real number and a free CAD drawing.
Priced personally on your menu spec with a clear CAD blueprint of your cook line. Zero obligation, no pressure.
A Few Questions Worth Thinking About Before We Talk.
These are the same questions our team will ask. Having your answers ready makes the call faster and the quote more accurate.
What's on your menu?
What equipment does your menu actually need to execute efficiently? (Griddles, fryers, charbroilers, commercial smoker, steam tables)
Rush service capacity?
How many people do you want to serve during your peak rush period without creating bottlenecking?
Where will you park and serve?
Festivals, fairgrounds, downtown city vending spaces, or private corporate catering events?
Your tow vehicle rating?
What vehicle are you towing with today, and what is its maximum towing rating once fully loaded with water and supplies?
Crew size inside?
Who will be working inside the trailer, and how many operators will be moving around at the same time?
Target opening date?
Is there a specific event or season start date you need your mobile kitchen operational by?
Have You Seen What Happens When a Trailer Is Bought on Price?
"What happens when the hood and suppression system get left for later, and the health inspector says no?"
Retrofitting fire suppression and commercial hoods into a finished trailer often costs twice as much as installing it during initial fabrication.
"What does it cost when a lot-bought trailer was specified for someone else's menu?"
Premade stock trailers force you to compromise your cooking process to fit someone else's floor plan idea.
"How do you run a full day when the generator was sized to the floor plan instead of the cooking load?"
Tripping breakers during a lunch rush when refrigeration and roof A/C max out your power panel kills reputation quickly.
"What happens if the truck you already own can't safely tow the trailer once it's loaded?"
Ignoring loaded axle weights and hitch configurations leads to unsafe towing and unexpected vehicle upgrades.
None of these are rare. They're the reasons people end up calling us for a second trailer. It's easier to get it right the first time.
If you open in a trailer that doesn't fit your menu, what does every slow ticket, failed inspection and missed event cost you over the next 12 months?
That's why we start with the work, not the trailer.
Built Around Your Menu. Not Off a Lot.
Health Code & Fire Safety Designed In
Tell us your exact local health jurisdiction. We spec your 3-compartment sinks, water holding tanks, and washable surfaces before fabrication starts, and build the stainless commercial hood and suppression in aligned to NFPA 96.
The Cook Line and Commercial Pit
The length of the trailer follows your equipment. Ole Hickory smokers are installed and plumbed in-house (our most requested feature), with custom porches engineered to balance the tongue weight.
Power Sized for a Full Service Day
Onan, Kubota, Honda, and Durawatt commercial power plants up to 21,000W, sized accurately to your cooking line, refrigeration, and climate control loads rather than just floor area.
Your Brand, Your Mobile Billboard
Choose from 14 factory color card options or match to your brand colors. Add gullwing serving awnings, 1 to 3 serving windows, exterior audio, and LED marquee lighting.

Wondering How to Pay for It?

Our food and concession builds range from $55,995 for compact 18 to 20 ft configurations up to $174,999 for 48 ft gooseneck field kitchens. What moves the price most is equipment: the pit, the commercial stainless hood and fire suppression system, cold storage capacity, and generator sizing (7,000W to 21,000W).
