Plan & confirm

01—03
01

Plan your trailer with us.

Tell your adviser your menu, location, team size and budget. We will help you choose the trailer, layout and equipment—even if you are starting with an idea.

  • Equipment options can meet applicable CE, UL, ETL or NSF requirements. We confirm the models and supporting records for your market before production.

02

Know what your quote includes.

Your quote separates trailer configuration from delivery costs. CIF, DDP, destination and full- or shared-container shipping affect the total. Your adviser explains inclusions and local charges before you decide.

  • The named port or address, clearance, taxes and unloading responsibilities are set out in your quote.
Your trailerYour delivery option
Understand your quote

Choose your build scope first: a shell, a fitted trailer or an equipped kitchen. Confirm the body, worktops, sinks, utilities and appliances included in each option.

Compare quotes using the same size, equipment list, currency and delivery point. Ask for included, optional, customer-supplied and excluded items separately, including installation and local charges.

CIF — Your price includes the trailer, ocean freight and insurance to the named port. Import clearance, duties, taxes and onward transport are arranged by you; your quote clarifies destination port charges.

DDP — Where available, your price includes transport to the agreed destination, import clearance, duties and taxes. You arrange unloading unless we agree a separate unloading service.

03

Confirm your order before paying.

We prepare your pro forma invoice (PI) and review the configuration, delivery terms, bank details and consignee with you. After approval, pay the 50% deposit by T/T bank transfer.

  • Your order also confirms change, cancellation and warranty terms.

04

Your approval starts the build.

After your 50% deposit arrives, you receive the first drawing within 3 business days. Your adviser helps you review and revise the layout, equipment, utilities and exterior.

We do not begin production until you approve all requirements and the final drawings.

05

Follow your trailer’s progress.

Once the design is approved, your adviser shares photos and videos of your trailer’s body, interior and equipment installation. You have one contact for progress and questions.

  • If you request a change, we confirm any cost and delivery impact before proceeding.

Inspect & ship

06—09
06

Review the trailer. Then pay the balance.

Review your finished trailer through photos, a walkthrough video and agreed functional tests. Any agreed corrections are completed and reviewed before you approve inspection and pay the remaining 50%.

Shipment follows your acceptance and receipt of the balance.

Your inspection checklist

Review your trailer with your adviser before accepting the completed build. Photos and agreed tests help you check each detail.

07

Protected for your shipment.

Full-container shipments use stretch film and securing inside the container. Shared-container shipments also use an outer wooden crate. Your adviser shares packing photos before dispatch.

  • Your packing list identifies the parts and any items removed for transport, ready to check on arrival.
08

Your documents, prepared early.

Your adviser confirms the documents needed for your destination before production, including who provides each record and when. Agreed shipping documents are normally shared around one week after sailing.

Who provides each document?

From us: agreed layout, equipment specifications, applicable compliance records and vehicle identification documents.

From your appointed broker: applicable import declarations and release records during clearance.

Locally: the registration and operating authorities confirm applications, inspections and permits.

09

Know when to prepare for arrival.

Your trailer ships from Qingdao Port, China. We share sailing and arrival updates. Ocean transit usually takes 30–60 days, depending on the route and vessel schedule; allow additional time for design, production and clearance.

Your pickup checklist
  1. Before arrival

    Your adviser helps confirm who handles clearance under your CIF or DDP terms. Keep the relevant destination agent, broker or delivery contact and arrival notice together. If you use your own forwarder, agree the factory handover point, loading, packing and document requirements before dispatch.

  2. Confirm the local costs

    We clarify what your delivery price covers. Your local team confirms any extra charges, storage and container deadlines, and the unloading appointment before collection.

  3. Plan unloading and collection

    The appointed logistics team arranges the collection point, suitable unloading space and, for a full container, empty-container return. We help you confirm any site access or unloading work you need to arrange.

  4. Record the handover

    Photograph the container, packaging and trailer as unloading begins. Record any damage and missing items, keep the packaging and contact your sales representative promptly.

  5. Check what needs refitting

    Check whether wheels, axles, the tow bar or roof fittings were removed for shipping. Request the relevant instructions and arrange qualified assembly; the actual packing plan determines what needs refitting.

  6. Check before towing

    Have a qualified person check the chassis connections, wheels, coupling, brakes and lights against the supplied instructions before towing. Test the kitchen equipment after setup and report issues with photos or videos.

Your adviser can help you check the agreed delivery arrangements.

Before you order.

How do CIF and DDP affect my total price?

CIF includes the trailer, ocean freight and insurance to the named port; you arrange import clearance, duties, taxes and onward transport. DDP, where available, includes transport to the agreed destination, import clearance, duties and taxes. Unloading is arranged separately. Your adviser explains destination charges and how size, container sharing and the route affect the quote.

Compare delivery costs
Can you help if I haven’t chosen a size or layout?

Yes. Your adviser helps you choose a size and plan the kitchen around your menu, team and budget. You can start with an idea or reference image. We explain working space and equipment access, then show the body length and overall length on your drawings.

Plan your requirements
Can you supply equipment for my market?

We help select equipment for your menu and destination. Applicable CE, UL, ETL or NSF records are checked for the specific equipment before order approval. You may also supply your own equipment; we agree dimensions, power loads, connections and installation responsibilities before approving the layout.

Explore equipment options
Can you adapt the utilities to my business?

We plan the electrical supply, plugs and appliance loads around your operating setup, along with water tanks, sinks, hot water and ventilation. Your adviser also reviews any gas, fire-protection, air-conditioning or generator requirements with you, so the systems work with your selected equipment.

Explore working systems
How much can I customize?

Your trailer can be planned around your kitchen layout, equipment, doors, serving windows, worktops, colours and branding. Your adviser helps turn your preferences into drawings. We review revisions with you before final approval, and explain the cost and timing of any changes requested after approval.

Explore customization
How do payments and design approval work?

We accept T/T bank transfer: 50% deposit after you approve the pro forma invoice, then 50% after inspection approval and before shipment. Once the deposit arrives, we send the first design draft within 3 business days. Production starts only after you approve all requirements and the final drawings.

See payment and design steps
How should I plan my opening date?

Tell your adviser when you hope to open. We review design, your approval, production, ocean transit, clearance and delivery with you. Ocean transit is usually 30–60 days, not the total order time. Allow additional time for local setup, permits and inspections; the exact schedule depends on your build, route and local arrangements.

Plan your delivery timeline
How do I inspect my trailer from overseas?

You receive production updates and a final walkthrough video of your trailer. Your adviser reviews the configuration, finish and agreed functional tests with you, and follows up any corrections before you accept the trailer and pay the balance. In-person or third-party inspection can be discussed in advance.

See the inspection step
Can you arrange delivery to my address?

We ship from Qingdao Port, China. Share your destination city or postcode so we can quote port delivery or, where available, delivery to your address. Your quote sets out the route, included costs, customs responsibilities and unloading arrangements.

Explore shipping arrangements
Will you help with registration and operating documents?

Your adviser helps identify the agreed vehicle, layout and equipment documents for your destination. Tell us about any local review requirements early so they can be considered during design. We provide the agreed build and shipping documents; the appointed broker provides applicable import records, and your local authorities decide registration and operating approvals.

Review registration documents
What happens when my trailer arrives?

Your adviser helps confirm the handover plan under your delivery terms. The appointed logistics team handles its agreed clearance and transport tasks; you prepare the receiving site and any unloading assigned to you. Check the trailer and loose parts on receipt, record any damage and contact us for help. The pickup checklist explains the practical steps.
