Hydraulic catering trailers · Ireland
Our two biggest units, The Naked Berry × Scúp and Tula Mexican Grill, are 6.7 m trailers built on a hydraulic chassis. On site they lower from the axle to sit fully flat on the ground, so they trade like a fixed café. Hire them for your event, or have your own unit built on the same chassis.
On the road, each trailer travels on its twin axle and jockey wheel like any other catering trailer. On site, the hydraulic chassis lowers the whole unit until it sits fully flat on the ground, with the wheels retracting into the wheel bays.
When it is time to move on, the chassis raises the trailer back onto its wheels, ready to tow to the next event.
Why it matters
The trailer lowers from its axle to sit fully flat, with the wheels tucked into the wheel bays.
With the trailer sitting on the ground, customers order at an easy counter height.
The queue can see straight into the kitchen.
Sitting flat on the ground, the timber-clad unit looks like a café on your site rather than a trailer.
Raised on its chassis, it travels on its twin axle to festivals and events across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The hydraulic units
Hire either trailer on its own, or set them end to end for a 13.4 m frontage serving up to 1,500 covers a day.
Coffee · açaí · gelato
A 6.7 m coffee trailer with two service hatches: specialty coffee, pastries, toasties, smoothies and açaí on one side, Scúp Irish gelato on the other.
Burritos & bowls
The street-food extension of Dublin's Tula Mexican Grill. Burritos and burrito bowls, made to order with a choice of fillings, built for fast service and long queues.
13.4 m frontage · up to 1,500 covers
Scúp and Tula set end to end as one frontage: coffee and breakfast through the morning, burritos and bowls through the evening. Ideal for campsites and high-traffic pitches.
We design and build catering trailers to order in Co. Wicklow, and we can build yours on the same hydraulic chassis: coffee, food, bar or retail, with timber cladding, tiled and stainless interiors and commercial kitchen kit.
Every layout is tested in real queues, because we trade our own builds at Electric Picnic, All Together Now and the National Ploughing Championships. See our catering trailer builds.
