Why Electrical Fitouts Are Essential for Food Trucks


As a compact commercial kitchen on wheels, a food truck needs to have careful planning similar to a cafe or a restaurant despite its smaller space. With its capacity to power up from cooking appliances to lighting and point-of-sale systems, your food truck should be designed to achieve safety and efficiency while being compliant with the standards.


Not having a proper planning, will risk:


  • Overloaded circuits from high-demand appliances like fryers, fridges, and ovens.


  • Power interruptions that might interrupt your operations


  • Safety hazards if non-compliant of the wiring Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000).


This is where we step in by ensuring that your food truck electrical system is reliable, safe, and compliant from the start.
