16ft Food Trailer with Permanent Location and Removable Tongue
Overview: 16ft Food Trailer Designed for Permanent Locations
This 16ft food trailer with permanent location and removable tongue is engineered for operators who need a professional, code-ready commercial kitchen intended for long-term placement. Manufactured by Biz On Wheels, Model BOW1687-RT, this trailer is built to function as a permanent or semi-permanent food service location while still offering the flexibility of relocation when required.
With durable construction, commercial-grade systems, and a removable tongue design, this trailer is ideal for breweries, food truck parks, private properties, campuses, and fixed-site installations where stability, appearance, and inspection compliance are critical.
Trailer Dimensions, Axles, and Structural Design
The trailer measures 16 feet long, 8.5 feet wide, and 7.5 feet high, providing a balanced interior layout that supports a full commercial kitchen without unnecessary excess size. This footprint allows efficient workflow while remaining manageable for transport and placement.
The trailer rides on dual 5,200 lb axles with electric brakes, offering strong load capacity, stable weight distribution, and safe towing when relocation is needed. The removable tongue is a key feature for permanent installations, allowing the trailer to sit cleanly on-site without an extended hitch protruding into walkways or customer areas.
The exterior features a screw-less, glue-on body with a gloss black skin, providing a clean, modern appearance while minimizing potential water intrusion points and long-term maintenance issues.
Exterior Features and Customer Service Access
Customer service is handled through a 48” x 36” serving window equipped with an awning door. This window size supports efficient order handoff, menu visibility, and smooth service flow during peak hours. The awning door provides shade and weather protection, improving customer experience and operational flexibility.
Staff access is through a 36” x 72” entry door with a screen door, allowing proper ventilation while keeping insects out during service. The trailer is equipped with all-LED exterior lighting, ensuring visibility and safety during evening operation while maintaining energy efficiency.
Interior Construction and Flooring
Inside, the trailer features an all anodized aluminum interior, chosen for its durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning. Aluminum surfaces meet commercial kitchen sanitation standards and are well-suited for permanent-location use where frequent inspections and daily washdowns are expected.
The flooring is finished with black diamond rubber vinyl, providing excellent slip resistance, comfort underfoot, and long-term durability. This flooring option is ideal for high-traffic environments and helps reduce fatigue during long service hours.
Cooking, Ventilation, and Fire Safety
The trailer is equipped with a stainless steel hood system with an exhaust fan, designed to manage heat, smoke, and grease effectively. This system supports a wide range of cooking equipment and is engineered to meet fire and health department requirements.
A fire suppression system is fully installed, providing an added layer of safety and compliance. This system is essential for permanent locations where fire code enforcement is often stricter than for temporary setups.
Propane, Plumbing, and Sanitation Systems
Cooking equipment is supported by two 100 lb LP propane tanks, securely mounted to provide sufficient fuel capacity for daily operation. This setup supports extended service without frequent tank changes.
Sanitation is addressed with a three-compartment sink and a separate hand-washing sink, supporting proper washing, rinsing, sanitizing, and hand hygiene. These systems are professionally installed to meet health department standards and support smooth inspections.
All plumbing components are routed for accessibility and long-term reliability, making maintenance easier over the life of the trailer.
Equipment, Electrical, and Climate Control
The interior is outfitted with all commercial-grade stainless steel equipment, fully NSF certified, ensuring durability, food safety, and compliance with commercial kitchen standards. Stainless steel work surfaces, shelving, and equipment are selected for high-volume, long-term use.
Climate control is handled by an 18,000 BTU mini split air conditioning system, providing efficient cooling for both staff comfort and equipment performance. This system is well-suited for permanent installations, offering quiet operation and consistent temperature control even during peak service hours.
Certifications and Long-Term Compliance
This 16ft food trailer with permanent location capability is built to commercial standards and includes NSF, ETL, and UL certifications where applicable. These certifications support health department approvals, fire inspections, and electrical compliance, giving operators confidence in long-term operation.
Built for Stability, Compliance, and Business Growth
Designed specifically for permanent or semi-permanent placement, this trailer offers the stability and professional appearance required for fixed locations while retaining the option to relocate if business needs change. The removable tongue, durable construction, and commercial systems make it a smart investment for operators seeking long-term reliability.
Built by Biz On Wheels, this trailer reflects professional fabrication standards, real-world usability, and attention to code compliance. It is not just a temporary solution—it is a fully equipped commercial kitchen built to operate consistently and grow with your business.
