Pod 3800 sits on a heavy-duty tandem axle with a 2,500 kg load capacity, so it can handle serious equipment and inventory without breaking a sweat.

That means you're selling coffee in the morning, burgers at lunch, and fries late into the night. One trailer, non-stop revenue. At 3.8 meters long and 2.0 meters wide, the Pod 3800 gives you full-size mobile kitchen capability without going oversized. Up front, there are two under-counter refrigerators—enough cold storage to run a full day without restocking. Toward the back, the cooking zone is spacious enough to keep ticket times short during peak hours. And along the service window, there's room for an espresso machine or a dessert display case.Whether you're searching for a dual axle food trailer, a fully equipped mobile kitchen trailer for events, this setup delivers the output, flexibility, and reliability you need.

Pod buying FAQ

Can I tow a food trailer with a standard SUV, or do I need a heavy truck?

It depends on the size and total weight (GVWR) of your build. Compact models like our single-axle Pod 2300 and Pod 2500 weigh under 750–1,000 kg and tow easily behind standard SUVs or light crossovers. Larger double-axle models (such as our 3.8m or 4m Square trailers) carry higher load capacities up to 2,500 kg and require a mid-to-full-size truck or SUV with appropriate towing power and integrated trailer braking systems.

Does the trailer price include kitchen equipment, or is it just an empty shell?

We offer both. You can order a fully fitted, turn-key mobile kitchen complete with commercial fryers, heavy-duty griddles, range hoods, and under-counter refrigeration, or a fully wired "empty shell" if you prefer to install your own appliances. Every quote from Chris Machinery clearly itemizes the body build, electrical system, water setup, and onboard equipment with zero hidden surprises.
