Mobile food trucks are becoming a popular business opportunity at markets, trade shows, and street food venues due to their flexible location options, low investment, and high returns. As the name suggests, a French fry trailer is a mobile food truck specifically designed for making and selling French fries. It typically consists of a trailer chassis, a stainless steel body, internal kitchen equipment, and an exterior sales window. French fries’ high popularity has made them a popular choice for many entrepreneurs. They free operators from the burden of renting a fixed storefront and allow them to launch a French fry business in high-traffic areas quickly. YG’s French fry trailers are not only adaptable to various scenarios but can also be customized. We also offer ice cream trailers, burger trailers, and other similar products. For those who prefer an unmanned operation, you can also explore our French fry vending machines. Are you interested in learning more about this cost-effective mobile food truck business model?

French Fry Trailer for Sale – YG Machinery Manufacturer
The French fry trailer features a trailer-type design. Common sizes include 4.2 meters, 5 meters, and 6 meters, depending on the load capacity of the towing vehicle. The exterior is constructed of corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean 304 stainless steel. Customizable with brand logos and color printing, the food truck becomes a mobile “billboard.”
The structure is divided into three core areas: the cooking area, which comes standard with two to three commercial French fry fryers (15-20L capacity each) and a temperature-controlled workbench. The fryers feature automatic oil filtration to reduce residual oil. The storage area includes a refrigerator (for potatoes and pre-made French fries) and a locker (for wrapping paper and sauce bottles). The refrigeration temperature is maintained at a stable 0-5°C. The sales area features a folding window with a storage table underneath for convenient placement of finished French fries and a cash register.
In terms of key components, the fryer uses electric heating or gas heating (optional). The electric heating model is suitable for power supply scenarios, and the gas model (equipped with a 50L liquefied gas tank) supports outdoor non-electrical operation; the entire vehicle circuit is waterproof, and it is safe to operate even on rainy days; some models can be equipped with awnings and LED advertising lights to enhance the sales experience.
Working Principle and Workflow of a French Fry Trailer
- Upon arrival at the location, secure the food truck (lower the legs to prevent shaking) and connect the power source (either plug into the mains or install the LPG tank).
- Start the fryer and set the temperature (usually 180°C for French fries). Meanwhile, prepare the fries (or fresh potatoes cut into strips and marinated) from the refrigerator.
- Once the oil reaches the required temperature, place the fries in the fryer and fry for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the fryer, drain the oil, box them, and serve them to customers with your favorite sauce.
- After closing, turn off the power, clean the fryer (discard any remaining oil), rinse the work surface, fold up the vending window, and then tow the food truck to your location or home.
If you prefer unmanned operation, you can also choose our French Fry vending machine. Customers can automatically receive fresh fries by scanning a QR code, making it ideal for locations like shopping malls and train stations.
6 Features of the YG French Fry Trailer
- High degree of customization: The number of fryers (2-4) and storage space can be adjusted to meet your needs. You can also customize the truck’s exterior color and logo, and even add a sauce station and beverage dispenser to meet your individual business needs.
- Outstanding cooking efficiency: A single fryer can fry 800g of fries in 5-6 minutes. With three fryers operating simultaneously, 30-40 servings of fries can be prepared per hour, meeting peak demand.
- Energy-saving and safe: The fryers feature intelligent temperature control (adjustable from 170-190°C) and automatically maintain heat once the temperature reaches the target, saving 15% more energy than conventional fryers. The truck is equipped with a fire extinguisher and a leakage protection switch. The gas model also includes a gas leak alarm, meeting multinational safety standards.
- High Mobility: Featuring a lightweight design, the 4.2-meter model weighs only 1.2 tons and can be towed by an average SUV. Durable off-road tires ensure stable operation even on uneven surfaces like gravel and paved roads, making it easy to move between locations.
- Easy to Clean and Maintain: The stainless steel countertop and fryer liner are rinse-safe, and the drawer-style storage area facilitates cleaning. Key components (such as the fryer heating element and refrigerator compressor) are standardized, making replacement easy.
- Multi-Scenario Power Supply: Supports 220V household power, 380V industrial power, and LPG. It can be connected to the market or run on street gas, eliminating energy constraints.
2 Use Case of French Fry Trailer Sales
Case 1: Lily (Market Entrepreneur) in Los Angeles, USA
- Client Background: Lily was a former office worker who wanted to start a business part-time. Due to a limited budget and a preference for flexibility, she chose a French fry trailer.
- Purpose: Selling fries at a cultural and creative market on weekends. She needed a lightweight, easy-to-tow device capable of quickly serving food, with an appealing design for young people.
- Results: After purchasing a 5-meter French fry trailer (customized with a pink exterior and three fryers), she sold 320 servings of fries at the market over the first weekend, generating a net profit of $2,240. She later raised the price to $5 per serving, adding her own homemade sauce, and sales remained stable. She now earns over $15,000 per month from her part-time job.
- Customer Comment: “The food truck’s appearance is beautiful for girls to take photos and post on social media, which has brought me many repeat customers. The fryer is very efficient, and customers don’t have to wait too long during peak weekend hours. Next year, I plan to buy another ice cream trailer to sell ice cream in the summer.”
Case 2: Mark (Full-time Food Truck Operator) in Melbourne, Australia
- Customer Background: Mark previously ran a fixed burger restaurant, but closed due to rising rents. He then switched to a mobile food truck, specializing in burgers and fries.
- Requirements: He needed an energy-efficient, high-capacity French fry trailer that could be used with his burger trailer. It needed to be energy-efficient and capable of handling 120+ servings of fries daily.
- Results: He purchased a 4.2-meter French fry trailer (equipped with three fryers and an energy-efficient model), which he parked with his burger truck downstairs in his office building daily. He sold fries and burgers as a bundle (a combo meal for $12). He achieved monthly sales of 3,600 servings and a net profit exceeding $40,000, a 30% increase over his previous fixed-store operation.
- Customer review: “This food truck is incredibly energy-efficient, saving us over $300 a month on electricity compared to our previous shop. The fryer is large enough to handle the lunch rush, and many of our regular customers are now specifically looking for set meals from my food truck. They’re delighted!”
FAQ About the YG French Fry Trailer
Q: What documents are required to operate a French fry trailer? Are the requirements the same in different countries?
A: Two core documents are required: one is the relevant permits for food truck operations (such as health permits and mobile vendor permits), and the other is vehicle towing procedures (such as trailer registration). Requirements vary by country, so specific consultation is required.
Q: Does the French fry trailer fryer run on gas or electricity? Can it operate outdoors without a power source?
A: Both power sources are supported, and you can choose according to your needs. The electric heating model is suitable for locations with a fixed power source (such as a 220V power source at a market), while the gas model (with a 50L LPG tank) is suitable for outdoor locations without electricity. A full tank of gas provides eight hours of continuous operation, fully sufficient for all-day operation.
Q: Can the capacity of the French fry trailer meet peak demand? What is the maximum number of servings of fries that can be produced in an hour?
A: Yes, it does. It depends on the fryer configuration: The basic model with two fryers (each fryer can fry 800g of fries at a time, 5-6 minutes per pot) produces approximately 20-25 servings per hour; the standard model with three fryers can produce 30-40 servings per hour; and the custom model with four fryers can produce over 50 servings per hour during peak hours.
Q: After purchasing a French fry trailer, is it easy to maintain? For example, how do I repair a fryer failure?
A: Maintenance is very easy. First, the key components (fryer heating element and refrigerator compressor) are standardized and can be purchased at local hardware or kitchenware stores. Second, YG offers a one-year warranty on the main unit. If any component breaks during the warranty period, a replacement will be sent free of charge. Repair videos are also provided, allowing you to replace it yourself.
Q: If I don’t want to use a mobile food truck, are there other options for selling French fries?
A: Yes, you can consider our French fry vending machine. It requires no human intervention; customers simply scan a QR code, and the machine automatically heats and boxes the fries. It’s ideal for use in fixed locations like shopping malls, train stations, and schools, offering hassle-free operation. It’s especially suitable for customers who want to reduce labor costs and implement unmanned retail.
