Food Trailer Manufacturer Pine Castle Florida - Custom Mobile Kitchens Built Right

Last month, Maria from Conway called us in a panic. Her food truck dream was falling apart because another manufacturer left her with a half-built trailer and no fire suppression system. Three weeks later, she was serving her famous empanadas at the Pine Castle Food Truck Festival from a fully equipped, code-compliant mobile kitchen we built from scratch.

This happens more than you'd think around Central Florida. People get excited about starting a food business, find a cheap manufacturer online, then realize too late that their "custom" trailer can't pass Orange County health inspections.

We've been building food trailers right here in Pine Castle since 2018, and we've learned a few things about what works and what doesn't when you're trying to get a mobile food business off the ground in Florida.

Fire Suppression Installation

Every food trailer needs a proper fire suppression system to operate legally in Orange County and surrounding areas. We install Ansul and Kidde systems that meet Florida Department of Health requirements.

The health inspector isn't gonna approve your trailer without the right suppression system. We've seen people spend months waiting for permits because they tried to install their own system or hired someone who didn't know the codes. Our installations pass inspection the first time because we know exactly what Orange County health department expects to see.

Equipment Installation

Your food trailer equipment needs to handle Florida's heat and humidity while keeping up with lunch rush crowds. We install commercial-grade fryers, grills, refrigeration units, and prep stations that can handle the demands of busy spots like Wall Street Plaza or the Lake Eola farmers market.

We work with restaurant supply companies throughout Orlando to get you the right equipment at good prices. No sense paying retail when we can get commercial pricing on Vulcan, Imperial, and True equipment that's built to last.

Awnings Installation

Florida sun will cook your customers before they even taste your food. We install retractable awnings and fixed canopies that provide shade while keeping your service window accessible.

The awnings also help with Orange County's strict noise ordinances. Sound bounces differently when you've got proper overhead coverage, which matters when you're parked near residential areas in places like Conway or Belle Isle.

Roof Top Signs

Your roof sign is how people find you from three blocks away. We install LED signs, lightboxes, and custom graphics that meet local signage requirements while making sure people can spot you in crowded areas like the Mills 50 district.

We know the permit process for each city around here. Orange County has different rules than Winter Park, and Orlando's sign codes changed last year. We handle all the paperwork so you don't have to figure out what's allowed where.

Why Pine Castle Food Trailers Work Better

Building food trailers in Pine Castle means we understand Central Florida's unique challenges. We know about the afternoon thunderstorms that flood low-lying areas near the airport. We understand that your generator needs extra ventilation because of our humidity. We've dealt with health inspectors from every municipality between Kissimmee and Mount Dora.

Our trailers are built for Florida conditions. Extra insulation keeps your AC from running constantly. Sealed electrical connections prevent moisture problems. Reinforced frames handle the weight of commercial equipment plus Florida's crazy weather.

Getting Started With Your Food Trailer

Most people don't realize how many decisions go into building a food trailer. Size depends on your menu and where you plan to park. Kitchen layout affects how fast you can serve customers. Equipment choices impact your utility costs and maintenance.

We start by talking about your actual food business, not just building you a pretty trailer. What are you cooking? Where do you plan to operate? What's your daily volume target? These answers determine everything from your electrical needs to your storage space.

The whole process takes about 6-8 weeks once we finalize your design and you get financing sorted out. We handle the technical stuff - electrical, plumbing, fire suppression, health department compliance. You focus on perfecting your menu and finding good locations.
