Food Truck & Trailer Options for Your Ice Cream Concept
From classic scoop trucks and soft-serve concepts to novelty treats and frozen desserts, we build custom ice cream trucks and trailers designed for efficiency, visibility, and customer appeal.
We offer multiple platforms so your ice cream truck looks great and operates smoothly:
- Food Trucks – Classic, eye-catching, and street-ready
- Trailers – Cost-effective with flexible layouts
- Gooseneck Trailers – Added space for freezers and storage
- Kiosk / POD / Container – Ideal for parks, events, and permanent locations
Ice cream concepts also pair well with compact, high-efficiency layouts, similar to the builds we design for our coffee truck builder, where speed and repeat customers are a must.
