Custom trailers

Trailers fabricated in the Carrollton shop

Two lines of trailer work leave this building. Retro Revival Trailers (opens in a new tab) is the sister brand for custom coffee, snack, and mobile bar trailers, and for renovations. Trailers for the trades are the enclosed rigs crews use to haul tools and work out of. Both are built here. The concession catalog stays on the Retro Revival site.

Sister brand

Coffee, snack, and mobile bar trailers

Retro Revival starts with a frame and chassis and builds a concession trailer, or opens up a trailer that already exists and rebuilds it. Service windows, counters, and the shell are shop work. Paint, wraps, and the finished serving layout are part of the same job. See the builds and start a trailer conversation at Retro Revival Trailers (opens in a new tab).

Trailers for the trades

Enclosed trailers for plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, gate installers, welders, landscapers, and similar crews. The layout follows the trade: pipe or conduit storage, coil racks, lockable cabinets, a workbench, or a charging station.

  • Welded frame with axles, hitch, and brakes matched to the load
  • Steel or aluminum shell, with a ramp door, side door, or barn doors
  • Shelving, drawers, E-track, and diamond-plate floors
  • Work lights, 110V and 220V outlets, and space for an inverter or generator
  • Roof racks or exterior mounts for ladders, pipe, and gear
  • Powder coat or galvanized coating before it goes on the road

Lighting, brakes, axles, and hitches are set up for road use. Sizes run from a compact single-axle trailer to a longer tandem-axle trailer.

How a trailer is built

A chassis is welded from steel, the walls are framed and insulated, and the shell closes in with doors and windows. Concession trailers get a serving counter. Trade trailers get storage and power. More photos are in the gallery.
