This Burgers and Fries food truck is a full refurbishment of a 2006 18ft cargo step van by Biz On Wheels. The used truck was rebuilt with a new commercial kitchen, a Cummins Onan generator, a fire suppression system and a full-body 3M wrap, showing how an older step van can be turned into a like-new food truck.
Fully Refurbished 2006 Step Van
Starting with a 2006 18ft cargo step van helped keep costs down, while the full refurbishment gave the owners a kitchen built to current health and fire codes.
Power and Serving Window
A quiet under-mount Cummins Onan 7KW gas generator supplies power. A 5ft serving window with an awning door provides the service counter for burgers and fries.
Kitchen, Ventilation and Fire Suppression
The interior is finished in white aluminum with rubber flooring. An NSF-certified stainless steel hood system with an exhaust fan and make-up air fan handles grill and fryer smoke, and a fire suppression system is included. All equipment is commercial stainless steel and NSF certified.
Sinks, Propane and Entry
NSF three-compartment and hand washing sinks meet health requirements, and a 29-gallon under-mount LP tank with an access door supplies propane. A rear entry door with a screen and a flip-up side step provide access, and a full-body 3M wrap completes the transformation.
Who This Build Is For
Refurbishing a used step van suits owners who want a fully code-compliant food truck at a lower cost than a new chassis. This burger and fries build shows how an older truck can be turned into a dependable mobile kitchen.
Customizing a Build Like This
Every Biz On Wheels food truck is custom built to order, so a truck like this can be adapted to your menu, crew size and budget. Common changes include the step van length (from 12ft up to 22ft), generator size and fuel type, the number and size of serving windows, cooking and refrigeration equipment, awnings, TV menu displays and the wrap design. Each build uses commercial NSF-certified equipment and is laid out to meet local health and fire codes. Most custom builds take about 60 to 90 days depending on the job.
