Built In Oregon. Certified For Washington.
Washington State has some of the strictest requirements for mobile food units in the country, and for good reason. Your customers expect clean, safe, code-compliant operations. So does the WA Department of Labor & Industries.
That’s why every food trailer we build for Washington customers is engineered and inspected to WA L&I standards right here at our Portland manufacturing facility. You don’t navigate the compliance maze alone. You arrive in Washington with a trailer that’s already passed inspection and a full plan set ready to submit to your local health department.
We’ve been doing this for 25+ years. We know exactly what Washington inspectors look for, and we build accordingly.

Only Fresh Poke brings the flavors of Maui straight to the shoreline with a custom-built food trailer designed around one simple idea: serving fresh, high-quality poke made from locally sourced fish. Finished in a soft baby blue color inspired by the Hawaiian coastline, this trailer was built to support a menu focused on freshness, simplicity, and island tradition.
A custom aluminum mesh cooler enclosure was integrated into the front of the trailer, providing dedicated storage for the daily catch before it is prepared and served. Inside, the layout was designed for efficient food preparation, cold storage, and smooth customer service while meeting the demands of a busy island operation.
Located in the Lahaina area, Only Fresh Poke is focused on delivering authentic poke bowls made with fresh ocean-caught fish and quality ingredients that highlight the natural flavors of Hawaii. This build reflects the relaxed pace, coastal beauty, and commitment to freshness that make Maui such a special place to enjoy great food.
Built by Quality Food Trailers for a business dedicated to bringing a true taste of the islands to every customer.
Fresh off the line and headed to the islands 🌊🐟
This custom 18-foot food trailer built by Quality Trailers Inc. is finished in a clean baby blue colorway for Only Fresh Poke in the Lahaina area of Lahaina. Built for serving up authentic Hawaiian poke bowls made with fresh ocean-caught fish straight from the waters of Maui 🌺
One of the coolest custom features on this build is the oversized aluminum mesh storage box mounted on the front tongue of the trailer. This was specifically fabricated to securely hold large coolers packed with freshly caught fish before prep and service. Functional, rugged, and designed around the customer’s real day-to-day operation on the island.
Inside, this trailer was designed for fast-paced poke bowl production with a fully stainless commercial kitchen setup, built tough for Hawaii’s coastal environment and daily service demands.
At Quality Trailers Inc. we love building food trailers around the actual workflow of the business owner, not just dropping equipment into a box. From custom fish cooler storage to island-ready construction, this trailer was purpose built for Maui food service life.
Maui, we can’t wait to see this one serving fresh poke bowls in Lahaina soon 🤙

SMASH BURGERS ARE TAKING OVER THE FOOD TRUCK INDUSTRY 🍔🔥
Check out this fully custom Burger Buds smash burger food truck built by Quality Trailers Inc. in the Pacific Northwest and designed specifically for high-volume burger and fries production in Washington state.

This custom burger truck features a massive 6-foot commercial flat griddle allowing operators to cook huge quantities of smash burgers at once while maintaining speed and consistency during lunch rushes, late night crowds, brewery events, catering gigs, food truck pods, sporting events, festivals, and private events. Alongside the oversized griddle are dual commercial fryers dedicated entirely to crispy french fries, loaded fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, and all the sides that make a smash burger concept explode in popularity.
The workflow on this truck was designed specifically around efficiency, production speed, and real-world restaurant operation. Every inch of the kitchen was planned around keeping tickets moving fast while maximizing cooking capacity during peak hours. Plenty of refrigeration, prep space, ventilation, and stainless steel workspace allows this mobile kitchen to operate like a true commercial burger restaurant on wheels.
Smash burger concepts continue to dominate the fast casual and food truck scene across Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Vancouver WA, Bellevue, Everett, Olympia, Portland, and all across the Pacific Northwest because customers love the simplicity and flavor of a perfectly smashed burger cooked fresh on a hot flat top griddle. The patties create crispy caramelized edges while still staying juicy inside, making smash burgers one of the most craveable menu items in today’s food industry. Pair that with fresh-cut fries, loaded fries, house sauces, and creative toppings, and you have one of the strongest food truck business models on the market today.

READY TO LAUNCH YOUR WASHINGTON FOOD BUSINESS?
Join hundreds of food entrepreneurs across the Pacific Northwest who trusted Quality Trailers to build their dream, on time, on budget, and built to code.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Quality Trailers build food trailers to Washington L&I standards?
Yes. Every food trailer we build for Washington customers is engineered and inspected to Washington State Labor & Industries (L&I) code at our Portland, OR manufacturing facility. You receive your trailer already L&I-compliant, eliminating a major hurdle before you even hit the road.
Do I need to be present in Oregon to order a custom food trailer for Washington?
Not at all. Our entire process, consultation, contract, design approvals, and payments, can be handled remotely. Many of our Washington customers never visit the facility until pickup day (or arrange third-party transport entirely).
How does the Washington health department approval process work?
Once your build begins and our in-house designer completes your plan set (typically 1–2 weeks after contract signing), you submit those plans to your local Washington health department for pre-approval. If the department has questions or requested changes, our team works directly with them to resolve everything before your trailer is completed.
What is the typical build time for a Washington-bound food trailer?
Standard builds run 2–3 months from your 50% down payment. More complex projects, such as pizza trailers, porch-style trailers, or specialty configurations, may require additional time. Your sales manager will give you an accurate timeline at the start of your project.
What are the payment terms for a Washington food trailer order?
We require 50% down to initiate the project, 40% upon final shop entry, and the remaining balance is due upon completion. Financing options are available through our third-party lending partners to help manage these milestones.
Can I get my food trailer delivered to Washington instead of picking it up?
All trailers are factory pick-up by default, but we’re happy to connect you with trusted third-party transportation companies for delivery to your Washington location. Many of our WA customers use this option successfully.
What water system comes standard in a Washington food trailer?
Every trailer includes an 80-gallon fresh water tank (installed inside under the cabinets) and a 135-gallon grey water tank mounted beneath the chassis. Our NSF-listed water pump is factory-set at 45 PSI and adjustable from 30–50 PSI to meet Washington operational standards.
Is financing available for Washington buyers ordering a custom food trailer?
Yes. We work with third-party financing partners who specialize in food trailer funding. Washington entrepreneurs can also work with local credit unions or any lender of their choice. Our team can connect you with financing contacts to help fast-track your preapproval.
Will I owe Oregon sales tax on my Washington food trailer purchase?
Oregon has no general sales or use tax, so your purchase at our Portland facility is not subject to Oregon sales tax. We recommend consulting your local Washington DMV or a tax professional regarding any Washington state use tax obligations on out-of-state purchases.
Can I supply my own commercial kitchen equipment for installation?
Yes. We install customer-supplied cooking and refrigeration equipment at $450 per piece. Electric cooking equipment installed under a hood (such as a refrigerated chef base) carries an additional $350 charge for a shunt-trip breaker. All cooking equipment installation includes gas lines, testing, and securing the unit.
