We’ve been building food trailers in Central Florida for years, helping families from Apopka to Winter Garden turn their recipes into successful businesses. Our trailers handle Florida’s unique challenges – from hurricane winds to summer thunderstorms to year-round humidity that destroys equipment.
Fire Suppression Installation
Florida health departments don’t mess around with fire safety in Orlando and Tampa. Too many trailer owners learn this lesson the hard way when their fire suppression system fails inspection shutting down operations for days work weeks or doesn’t work during a real emergency.
Our fire suppression installation uses Protex ll systems. We test every system with a 3rd party installer and provide all documentation for Orange County health inspections.
Equipment Installation
Your fryer works great in your brick and mortar restaurant, but Florida’s humidity and constant vibration from driving will destroy improperly mounted equipment. We’ve seen expensive equipment shake loose on I-4 or corrode from moisture that gets into electrical connections.
Our equipment installation includes rust-resistant mounting systems and sealed electrical connections that survive Florida weather. Each piece gets secured with hardware that won’t rust or fail.
Awnings Installation
Florida sun is brutal, and afternoon thunderstorms can destroy cheaply installed awnings in minutes. We’ve replaced countless damaged awnings that other companies installed with hardware that couldn’t handle Florida weather. Your customers need shade, but your awning needs to survive wind and rain.
Roof Top Signs
Your trailer needs to stand out at busy events like the Mount Dora Arts Festival, but roof top signs that aren’t properly installed become dangerous projectiles during Florida storms. We’ve seen signs fly off trailers and damage cars in parking lots during severe weather.
Our roof top signs installation includes wind-rated mounting systems tested for Florida hurricane conditions. We work with local sign companies in Orlando to create eye-catching designs that stay securely attached. The LED signs we installed on Rosa’s Empanada trailer have survived three hurricane seasons and still work perfectly.
Custom Food Trailers
Florida’s food scene is different from anywhere else – you need trailers that handle theme park crowds, beach events, and year-round outdoor festivals. We build custom food trailers designed around how you actually serve customers in Florida’s challenging environment.
Why Lockhart Florida Food Businesses Choose Us
We live here in Orange County and understand Florida’s food trailer challenges. Hurricane season, summer heat, and daily thunderstorms create problems that builders from other states don’t understand. Our trailers are designed specifically for Florida conditions.
When your equipment breaks down during a busy festival, we’re local instead of calling someone in Georgia or Alabama. We keep common parts in stock and know every system we’ve installed. Your business keeps running while others shut down waiting for out-of-state repairs.
Florida Weather Expertise
Building trailers in Florida means planning for extreme weather. From hurricane winds to daily thunderstorms to UV rays that destroy equipment, your trailer faces challenges that most states never see. We use materials and methods that survive Florida’s climate.
We’ve helped food trailers prepare for hurricane season, survive summer storms, and handle year-round humidity. Your trailer will be ready for whatever Florida weather brings.
Local Permitting Knowledge
Orange County has different health department rules than Seminole County, and both are different from Lake County requirements. We understand each area’s specific requirements and build trailers that pass inspection on the first try.
We’ve worked with health inspectors throughout Central Florida for years. Your trailer will meet current codes because we stay updated on changing regulations.
Financing Options
Florida’s year-round event season creates good opportunities for food trailers, but starting costs can be high. We work with lenders who understand the Florida food truck market and seasonal revenue patterns.
We’ve help families secure financing for food trailers throughout Central Florida. Many start with basic trailers and upgrade to custom builds when their business grows during peak season.
Our Service Areas
We build and service food trailers throughout Central Florida, including Orlando, Apopka, Winter Garden, Ocoee, Clermont, and Mount Dora. Our mobile service truck covers the same areas for maintenance and emergency repairs.
