Custom-built food trailers delivered to Birmingham, Montgomery, Huntsville, Mobile and the rest of Alabama. Every unit is built to clear the county plan review the state requires before you operate. Financing available.
In Alabama your permit comes from your county health department, and before you operate the unit has to clear a plan review against the state’s official checklist.
Alabama sorts mobile units into categories based on what you plan to prepare, and the category decides what equipment you are required to carry: refrigeration with thermometers on every unit, hot holding equipment from category 2 up, and cooking equipment from category 3 up. Settling your menu before you build saves you from rebuilding the unit.
A potable water tank that is properly sized, securely affixed, easy to clean and durable. A wastewater tank at least 15% larger than the potable tank. Hot and cold water to every piece of equipment that needs it, with a water heater sized for peak demand. A handwashing sink with hot and cold water, and a two- or three-compartment warewashing sink. Smooth floors, walls and ceilings with a coved base, self-closing doors, shielded lighting, and screens or air curtains for pest control.
Adequate food and equipment storage, dishwashing facilities that meet food service standards, and a servicing area on a nonabsorbent, sloped surface with a grease trap and a hot water faucet for cleaning garbage cans.
Your mobile unit permit and your inspection scores both have to be posted where the public can see them. And any menu change needs health department approval — it is not optional paperwork.
Requirements change. Confirm with your county health department before you invest.
We build in Atlanta and deliver the finished trailer to Alabama. We also deliver to Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
Every state runs its own permit and its own commissary rules — Alabama, for instance, requires a plan review and sorts your unit into a category based on the menu. Tell us which county you plan to operate in and we will walk you through what you will need before you sign anything.
More than just a food trailer, we build the engine of your business. At Prime Star, we deliver expert craftsmanship that redefines how your brand stands out, cooks, and performs on the road.
