Bumper Gap Clearance refers to the minimum safe distance between the rear bumper of a food trailer and any nearby object, wall, or structure when parked or maneuvering. This clearance is critical for preventing collisions, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, and allowing access to rear-mounted equipment or service areas. It is especially important in confined environments such as street vending zones, festivals, commissaries, or food trailer parks.
Always verify the dimensions of your assigned parking area before arrival. Use spotters, mirrors, or rear-view cameras to maintain safe bumper gap clearance during setup. In crowded or unfamiliar locations, clearly marking the required clearance zone before positioning the trailer can help avoid costly errors and streamline your vending operation.
