About Project

For Shorter’s BBQ & Catering, we built a compact yet powerful 16-foot BBQ food trailer designed for heavy-duty use at catering events and festivals throughout California.
The trailer is built to Golden State Trailers standards: a 12-inch frame with a 1-1/8-inch laminated hardwood floor, a solid aluminum roof with an engineered slope, welded stainless steel cabinets, and concealed electrical wiring. All equipment meets NSF and ETL standards, and the kitchen layout is optimized for serving a full BBQ menu in a BBQ food trailer format. The integrated certified fire suppression system meets NFPA requirements.

The exterior features a striking premium wrap made of 3M vinyl and 3M overlaminate, featuring a flame design, the brand logo with a pig-chef, and the full menu an eye-catching display in any location. Check out our BBQ food trailers and try our free 3D trailer configurator.
