Mobile food truck bodies (the box at the back of a truck) are commonly seen in markets, roadsides, and night markets. They are mainly divided into: gull-wing, canopy, hard-top, van, and American-style food trucks.
When it comes to doing business, which one should we choose? Which one has the highest CP value? How much does it cost to build the box?
This article will introduce you to the advantages and disadvantages of different car bodies!

As the name suggests, when the car door is opened, it looks like "seagull's wings", with a unique and textured shape. The ones we install here are "electric gull wings" , which are easy to operate, effortless, and not easy to damage. The wings can be folded up or not. In terms of space utilization, the gull-wing type is taller and more spacious than the shed type, and the "heightened sense of space" adds a lot to the visual experience.
There are many advantages, but of course there are a few disadvantages. The first is the high cost. The second is that the gull-wing occupies a large area when unfolded, so you must be especially careful when setting up a stall on the roadside. I have heard of cases where gull-wing doors were hit by trucks before.

Cheap, durable, and best rainproof effect! Many advantages make the canopy-type vehicle the most common choice for dining trucks. The mounting canvas is divided into "military-standard canvas with color spray-painted patterns" and "ordinary military green canvas". You can choose according to your preferences and needs. In addition, the height is divided into front height, normal height, and extra-high height; or dome, flat top, all of which can be discussed and installed according to the needs and height of the owner. Of course, a higher height will give a better sense of space and it will be easier to install wall cabinets. Because the car model of the shed type is not so eye-catching, the "
interior design" can be more special, such as decorative panels, contrasting colors, curtains, light boxes, etc., which are all very attractive decorations!

The hard shed is so cool! But the cost of the entire box is not cheap. It combines the advantages of a shed-style rainproof structure, the ability to install an umbrella, and the gull-wing hard shell texture. It is the choice of many owners
who pay attention to the appearance of the car . The height of the hard roof can also be discussed according to the height, and it will be sprayed or baked on later, so for owners who already have the budget to change the color of their car, a hard roof may be a good start.

This cute van is small and exquisite compared to other more complicated dining cars, but it has everything you need, including a fryer, refrigerator, rice cooker, and soup pot. The space of a van is indeed smaller than that of a truck, it can carry less cargo, and its display surface is also limited, but the overall production cost is relatively cheap, and its appearance is eye-catching and cute, so it is the entry-level model for many food truck novices!

As long as people stand on the car and work, it is an American food truck. It has a large cargo capacity and large space, and there is no need to mix the cargo area and the working area together, so the production capacity during meal periods can be greatly increased! Moreover, the cooking space is more private and will not be seen by passers-by and customers. However, the overall construction cost is the highest and the parking location also requires more consideration, so it is recommended that experienced people with food truck experience take this route.
