Building for Fort Collins operators

Fort Collins sits at 5,003 feet. Same altitude rules as the rest of the Front Range. Propane regulators, refrigeration sizing, hood CFM all spec for thinner air. We have built plenty of trucks for FoCo operators and the calculations are baked into our standard process.

Fort Collins is a brewery town. New Belgium, Odell, Equinox, Funkwerks, Horse and Dragon. A lot of food trucks here partner with breweries on tap room patio service. Build priorities for that operation: clean exterior aesthetic, fast service window for high-volume nights, equipment sized for steady all-day operation rather than peak rushes.

Larimer County Department of Health and Environment licensing

Larimer County is your inspection authority, not DDPHE. They are reasonable but they do their own plan review and they want documentation up front. We pre-build to their specs and provide the documentation package they ask for.

Tell us if you are doing brewery partnerships, Old Town events, CSU game days, or Tour de Fat. The customer base affects build priorities.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Fort Collins build take?
Six to eight weeks from final design. Same-day delivery to Fort Collins from Woodland Park.

Do you build for brewery patio operations?
Yes. Smaller footprint, fast service window, equipment for steady all-day volume. We have done several FoCo brewery partnerships.

What about CSU tailgates?
Different build profile. Higher peak volume, weatherproof for fall games. Tell us your route and we design accordingly.

Are altitude considerations the same as Denver?
Mostly, yes. Hood CFM and propane regulators get spec the same way.
