Maximum gross weight includes the trailer, equipment, stock, water and everything carried on board; it is not the available payload. Your final layout must suit the trailer’s weight capacity. Prices are for collection; delivery is additional unless included in your quotation. Contact us for current build availability and a written quote.

DESIGNED FOR THE WAY YOU WORK
A kitchen that works with your menu.
A busy service needs more than a good-looking trailer. We’ll plan where you cook, prepare, wash, store and serve, with the equipment dimensions and power requirements in mind.
Counter heights and equipment positions
Upright and under-counter refrigeration space
Cooking canopy, extraction and gas requirements
Serving hatches, displays and customer shelves
Electrical supply, water storage and weight allowances
We can supply catering equipment or fit equipment you provide, subject to its suitability and the agreed specification.
Stainless steel work surfaces, equipment positions and extraction designed as part of a bespoke fit-out.

SUPPORT AFTER COMPLETION
Your 36-month trailer warranty.
Our trailers are covered for defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for 36 months from the date of completion.
What the cover applies to
The trailer’s materials and workmanship. Equipment supplied and installed by Kio Pod is covered under the relevant manufacturer’s warranty terms. Customer-supplied equipment is not covered by Kio Pod’s trailer warranty.
What’s excluded
Normal wear and tear, misuse, neglect, accidental damage and unauthorised modifications. Unauthorised repairs or interventions may invalidate the warranty.
To report a fault, contact us promptly with proof of purchase and details of the issue. Accepted warranty repairs or replacements are carried out at our discretion. Customers arrange transport to our workshop unless otherwise agreed in writing.
This is a summary of the warranty in our quotations. Full terms are supplied with your build. Your statutory rights are unaffected.

A few common questions
Are the trailers in the photos available to buy?
The photos show previous and example builds. We manufacture to order; they demonstrate the layouts and finishes we can discuss for your project.
Are appliances included in the basic-fit price?
No. Cooking appliances and refrigeration are additional unless listed in your written quotation. We can quote to supply and fit equipment, or plan around suitable equipment you already own.
Can I change the hatch, counters or exterior?
Yes. Additional hatches, alternative counters, signs, graphics, wall finishes and lighting can be quoted as part of a bespoke build.
Does every trailer need the same extraction system?
No. We agree the extraction and gas safety specification around the cooking equipment and intended use. These items are included only where specified in your quotation.
How long will the build take?
Build slots vary. Contact us with your requirements and target date so we can confirm availability and an estimated timescale before you order.
Can I tow it with my vehicle?
We’ll confirm the trailer’s specified gross weight. You’ll need to check your vehicle’s towing limits, driving entitlement and the fully loaded trailer weight before towing.
