Food Truck & Trailer Outfitting in Colorado
Outfitting is the middle ground between a full custom build and a DIY project. You already have a truck, trailer, or van — we turn it into a permitted, fully equipped commercial kitchen. Our team handles the interior fabrication, equipment installation, electrical, plumbing, and gas work at our Colorado shop. We build to meet state and county health department requirements so you can pass inspection and start serving.

What Goes Into an Outfitting Project
- Interior Fabrication & Layout: Custom countertops, serving windows, wall paneling, flooring, and storage built to fit your specific vehicle dimensions and menu needs.
- Equipment & Kitchen Systems: Commercial cooking equipment, refrigeration, ventilation hoods, fire suppression, sinks, and prep surfaces — sourced and installed to code.
- Electrical, Plumbing & Gas: Generator or shore power wiring, fresh/gray water tanks, gas line routing, and all utility connections sized and permitted for your setup.
Why Outfitting Makes Sense
- Lower Cost, Faster Timeline: Outfitting your existing vehicle typically runs 30–50% less than a ground-up build and can cut weeks off the schedule since we skip the chassis and shell work.
- Health Code & Inspection Compliance: We build to Colorado health department standards and work with you through the inspection process so your truck or trailer is permitted and ready to serve.
- Same Team, Same Standards: Outfitting projects are handled by the same fabricators and installers who do our full custom builds — same welding, same wiring, same quality.

A basic outfitting project with standard equipment might start around $15,000–$25,000. A full interior buildout with high-end equipment, custom fabrication, and all utilities can run $40,000–$70,000 or more, depending on scope.
Yes. We build every outfitting project to meet Colorado health department requirements for commercial food service vehicles. That includes proper sink placement, water system capacity, ventilation, fire suppression, and surface materials. We work with you through the permitting and inspection process so the truck or trailer is ready to operate legally.
