Ergonomic Design

Unlike traditional food trucks, GoodMFG®’s concession trailers feature a hydraulic drop deck system that lowers the entire stand to the ground after retracting the wheels.

This innovative design allows you and your employees to:

Work at eye level. Reduce back strain and fatigue by eliminating the need to lean down and out of a window when serving customers or collecting payments.

Reduce the risk of accidents. Minimize the risk of spilled food, dropped money, and other potentially dangerous incidents caused by reaching or awkward movement.

Avoid rocking, rolling, and shaking. The trailer remains stable throughout the serving experience.

But don’t take our word for it. Check out this testimonial.

When it’s time to move to a different site, you can just raise the trailer to its proper hauling height and take it on to its next location. You control everything with the touch of a button.

Spacious Interiors

GoodMFG® concession trailers, such as the GT13AL-C, are designed to give you plenty of room to work.

You’ll also receive plenty of cabinet, counter, and shelf space to ensure your food truck has plenty of room for all your inventory, supplies, and equipment, optimizing it for maximum productivity.

Open and Close Your Concession Trailer Fast

GoodMFG®’s concession trailers are engineered for speedy and simple opening and closing, minimizing set-up time and maximizing service hours.

These features make it easy.

Hydraulic Drop Deck Technology. The sleek hydraulic drop deck places the interior flooring just 5.4″ above ground. The bottom of the trailer sits directly on the ground. This eliminates the need to huff, puff, and drag your gear up an impractical and unsafe high-angle ramp.

Lift panels. It’s easy to pull your panels up and out, and then to lock them in place. They form overhanging roofing that provides your customers with shelter from the sun or the rain. These panels are outfitted with heavy-duty gas springs and hinges, ensuring smooth operation.

Multi-sided service. Opt for lift panels on up to three sides of your trailer to serve more customers simultaneously. Plus: catch refreshing breezes and beat the heat!

Enhanced security. Each lift panel secures tightly to the trailer when closed, protecting the interior and its contents until you’re ready to open again.

Customize, Advertise

Can GoodMFG® concession trailers be customized for branding and advertising?

Yes! GoodMFG® makes it easy to enhance your concession trailer’s visibility and brand presence.

Folding LED Signs. When you need to make your message big, bold, and difficult to resist, Good Trailer LED screens are here to save the day. You can program them at the touch of a button to display logos, menus, food photos, and more. When it’s time to move on, fold them back into place on top of your trailer. These signs are available on the 13′ concession trailer model.

Advertise your concession trailer with built in folding LED signage.

We also offer solutions for customizing your backlit LED signage with your logos, creating bold, bright, and sophisticated illuminated displays to entice customers.

Get Your Gear in at Ground Level

GoodMFG® trailers eliminate dangerous hassles associated with loading and unloading inventory, equipment, and gear. Once our hydraulic system lowers the trailer directly to the ground, you can:

Deploy a compact rear loading ramp. The folding ramp on the back of your trailer makes stepping into your trailer as easy as moving from the sidewalk to the street.
Reduce risk. The nearly flat loading experience significantly reduces the risks of injury, spills, or damage.

The compact rear ramp also supports operation in tight spaces. Once done, simply lift and lock the ramp, ensuring a safe and speedy process when it’s time to hit the road again.

Durable & Comfy Concession Trailers

GoodMFG® concession trailers are built for maximum durability and long-term investment. They’re designed to withstand the challenges of food service and harsh climates.

Weather & rust protection. The trailer chassis is crafted from galvanized steel, providing maximum durability and rust protection. This ensures your investment can withstand even the harshest climates and continues to serve your business for years.
Insulated composite aluminum panel construction. Stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter thanks to 1.5″ of polystyrene foam sandwiched between sheets of #5052 aluminum.
Easy service with lift panels. Open up to the public, shelter them from the rain, let them see your smiling face at ground level.

FAQ

Are Good Concession Trailers by GoodMFG® L&I Approved?

Right now, the base unit is only legal as a “food warming” trailer. This still leaves you plenty of service options. You can use mechanical warming to keep pre-cooked chili, soups, nacho cheese, or stews ready for service.

You can use steam tables to keep hot dogs or sausages warm. You can serve hot beverages like coffee, tea, or cocoa, serve cold drinks in the bottle or can, and serve pre-packaged baked good, candy, or nuts. You can also usually sell whole farm produce. Check the restrictions in the county where you plan to operate, of course, as well as the local ordinances of the city you plan to operate. This is not legal advice!

It is possible to work with our in-house design team to customize your concession trailer for other types of service. Contact our office if you are interested!

Can I rent a Good Concession Trailer by GoodMFG®?

In Marysville, WA, you can rent a trailer from Good Sales & Rentals, a local dealership. If you’re interested in buying, it’s a great way to “try before you buy!” If you are simply planning for a short-term event, rental is an ideal solution.

Are there other good uses for Good Concession Trailers by GoodMFG®?

They make excellent party or event trailers! If you use the 13′ version you can even program a festive announcement onto the LED signs.

Key Takeaways

Here’s the TL;DR if you’re thinking of investing in a Good Concession Trailer by GoodMFG®.

Ground-level design helps with both service and loading. GoodMFG®’s hydraulic drop deck brings the serving area closer to customer eye level and provides a short-ramp approach for moving equipment and supplies into the trailer.
Choose a serving layout that fits your operation. Optional lift panels on up to three sides create multiple service openings, provide overhead shelter for customers, and close securely when service is finished.
Organization and comfort matter throughout the workday. Cabinets, counters, and shelves provide space for supplies and equipment, while insulated panel construction helps moderate interior temperatures. A galvanized steel chassis adds corrosion protection.
Make your trailer part of your advertising. Optional folding LED screens on the 13-foot model can display menus, logos, and announcements. Custom backlit logo signage offers another way to showcase your brand.
Match the configuration to your menu. The base unit is intended for food-warming service. Discuss other food-service needs with GoodMFG®’s design team, and confirm the approval requirements for your intended use and operating location.
