The ST Trailer is a great fit if you want to trade at locations with a steady but constant flow of custom for your products. Typical examples would be local country fairs, private functions and roadside catering. It’s a high specification, high quality unit designed to help you maximise revenue.
You’ll also appreciate value for money, with a careful eye on return on investment. As you know, the key is to match your trailer budget to your expected revenue.
Let’s get very specific, this catering trailer might be right for you if you:
It can process high volumes, so if you have very niche products or just a steady trade you may want to consider a horsebox trailer (very stylish) or a container trailer (very versatile). If you expect very high volumes then the GT Trailer may be more suited to your business, If you need to process high output in a short space of time, we’d suggest a Supa Truck or Supa Van.
This is how we take you through our comprehensive design process:
We also check and agree and include in the design:
You will be able to configure the layout of your new ST trailer so you can get the food and equipment right in the line of sight of your customers. This is because the floor height of our trailer is lower when compared with other comparable units on the market.
It not only helps put more of the kitchen in view, it allows your serving counters to remain lower at the same time. That gets you closer to the customer, you don’t look down on them so much. They feel more comfortable, they see more, they buy more.
You’ll quickly realise we’re always focused on getting you the best return for your investment. We can advise you on how to balance your budget against the need for reliability and length of life if that’s a concern for you.
The design of the ST trailer automatically lends itself to branding as well as showing what your product offerings are and why people should buy from you. You’ll see this clearly from the photos of a selection of the trailers we’ve built
As you know, good branding draws the crowds in and can make a huge difference to your takings. Our design team take careful account of your plans for sign writing and we have a trusted local supplier who can sign write and brand you trailer before it leaves our depot. We have extensive experience bouncing branding ideas around with our clients and we’re happy to help you develop your own ideas if you would like that. Most or our clients do ask for our input.
Operating from a trailer, compared with other styles of trading, offers an abundance of benefits when compared like-for-like, Some of those benefits are:
Excuse us if you already know this. Large-scale events and festivals etc. charge pitch fees based on the length or frontage of your pitch, That automatically makes a vehicle conversion less attractive when it comes to pitch fees.
The clever design of the ST Trailer, based on our experience deep cleaning units for customers and their regular feedback on their cleaning experience, means the clean down process at the end of the day can be quick and still be thorough. Here’s how we do that:
We make daily cleaning simple and easy – to save you and your team time and make sure you can maintain the highest hygiene standards.
We believe we are leaders in understanding how to make sure you stay safe and legal so you can sleep soundly at night, knowing that all your testing and certification is taken care of.
Here’s how we cover this in our design process:
Our aim is to make sure we plan for every aspect of safety and legislation (of course Health & Safety risk assessments are down to you). Your vehicle comes with every certification you would expect.
Our ST trailers are designed so they can be towed by most 4×4’s, you may want to check or consider the tow vehicle that you intend on using. We can advise you how to stay safe (and legal).
You may need to check the driving license you currently hold, you or one of your team may need to get your towing license (category E). If you passed your test before January 1997 this was an automatic entitlement.
We may be teaching you to suck eggs here, but this is important when you consider the space you need (so size of unit) and the equipment you require.
One of the biggest differences we see between those clients that wish to do large event catering, compared to those who have a steady five days a week semi-permanent pitch, is the range of food offering available. Festival and event caterers normally have a small/select menu offering (and they cook them in volume) whereas our smaller event or roadside caterer tends to offer everything from a burger, to a jacket potato with fillings, to a chocolate bar or muffin.
That decision about the range of food is driven mainly by the type of event organiser you deal with. At a festival or large event, the organisers often restrict what you are allowed to sell for that event. At a smaller event, you are normally in control of what you offer.
That will affect the space you need to produce food and the right size and specification of your cooking equipment.
If you already know what equipment you need to cater for all those different food offerings, well done, we’ll help you secure it at the best prices. If the answer was no, that’s great too as we will help you plan your kitchen and guide you to the products and appliances that best suit your business.
When you read the technical specification below, you’ll understand just how much work, quality and love we put into all our trailers. From the detailed design plans and specification, how we build your trailer, and finally how we make sure it meets all our standards, everything is important to us.
So here’s just some of what we do to make 100% certain you’ll be delighted with a 4Sure Trailer:
We love what we do and we’re proud of our products and standards. We hope that comes across.
If you have an equipment failure, just give us a call at our office we’ll either look after the repair process if it’s within the warranty period or we’ll tell you the best people to call. You need to be aware that some equipment manufacturers will only speak to the dealer, others will only speak to you.
