Top Food Trailer Service Work You Can Count On: From Repairs to Full Upgrades

Introduction: Keeping Your Food Trailer Business Rolling 

Your food trailer isn’t just a mobile kitchen — it’s your livelihood. At Best Built Trailers, we specialize in keeping your operation running smoothly with expert service work, precision repairs, and complete upgrade packages. Whether you’re dealing with a mechanical issue, storm damage, or you’re ready to take your setup to the next level, our shop has you covered. 

We handle everything from basic repairs to custom builds and even bus conversions — all done by experienced technicians who know trailers inside and out. 

Let’s take a closer look at the most common and in-demand food trailer service work we perform for customers across the region. 

1. Electric Jack Installation: Replacing Manual Jacks 

Manual jacks can wear out quickly — especially when your trailer is loaded with heavy equipment. Our electric jack installation service makes raising and lowering your trailer easier, faster, and safer. 

• We remove your old manual system and wire in a new, heavy-duty electric jack rated for your trailer weight. 

• Includes proper grounding, fuse protection, and weatherproof wiring. 

• Great for concession trailers, BBQ rigs, and mobile kitchens with frequent setup and tear down. 

💡 Pro Tip: Switching to electric jacks not only saves your back — it improves setup time and professional presentation. 

2. Axle Replacement: Leaf and Torsion Axles 

A failed axle can end your day before lunch service begins. We replace both leaf spring and torsion-style axles, ensuring your food trailer rides level, straight, and smooth. 

• Full axle inspection, hub assembly, and brake setup. 

• We source OEM or upgraded axles based on your trailer’s GVWR. 

• We replace any axle including custom sizes. 

We’ll get you safely back on the road with a properly balanced suspension and reliable braking performance. 

3. RV Door Repair 

Your entry door is the first impression customers see. Whether your RV-style door sticks, leaks, or has suffered damage, we repair and realign it to factory specifications. 

• Seal replacement and weatherproofing 

• Lock and latch repair or replacement
