We’re thrilled to announce that Quality Trailers Inc. has been featured in Amerex Corporation’s Spring 2025 edition of “Inside the Diamond” magazine. This recognition highlights our unwavering dedication to excellence in the food trailer industry and our commitment to safety standards that protect our customers’ investments and livelihoods. Being showcased on the cover and in a comprehensive feature article represents a significant milestone in our journey and validates our approach to building custom mobile kitchens that prioritize both quality craftsmanship and uncompromising safety.
A Legacy of Innovation: From Construction Trailers to Culinary Masterpieces
At Quality Trailers Inc., we don’t just build food trucks and trailersโwe craft custom culinary spaces designed to bring our customers’ visions to life. Our story begins in the heart of Oregon in 2001, where our family-owned business initially focused on flatbed trailers, dump trailers, goosenecks, and car haulers primarily serving the construction industry. This foundation gave us invaluable experience in creating durable, functional mobile spaces that could withstand demanding conditions.
When the 2008 economic downturn hit the construction industry hard, we saw an opportunity not a setback. We pivoted our expertise into a new directionโthe growing food trailer market. In our hometown already famous for its food cart culture, we saw a need for high quality, purpose built mobile kitchens that could meet the demanding needs of culinary entrepreneurs.
By 2010 we had fully transitioned to building outstanding food trailers that consistently exceeded our customersโ expectations. As Angel Gonzalez, our General Manager, said in the Amerex feature, โIt was in 2010 that we decided to focus just on food trailers.โ This was a strategic move that allowed us to focus on a market that was growing fast but had no dedicated manufacturer that focused on both quality and safety.
From Local Builder to Industry Leader
What started as a Portland based company has grown into a national company with national recognition. Our reputation was first established in Oregon, then Washington and California, then Colorado, Montana, the northern Midwest and even Alaska and Hawaii.
This geographic expansion is a testament to the quality of our products and the strength of our brand in the industry. Word of mouth referrals have been a big driver of our growth and our customers have been our best ambassadors. As we grew, so did our innovation. In 2014 we launched our website so customers could easily view our designs and place orders. By 2016 we pushed the boundaries even further by introducing the first food trailer with solar panelsโa unit that combined value, quality and functionality at competitive prices.
The Quality Trailers Difference: Where Passion Meets Craftsmanship
In a market full of mass produced, one size fits all solutions Quality Trailers offers something unique: truly custom builds that reflect each customerโs vision and operational needs. Our Sales Manager Vitaliy Yasinskiy said in the magazine feature: โEvery single build is a reflection of our ability to bring the customerโs vision to life, down to the smallest detail.โ
We know customers want more than just a kitchen on wheels. They want a comfortable working environment for their team and a reliable unit that delivers great results no matter what. This is what drives our design philosophy and construction practices.
Built From the Ground Up: The Foundation of Excellence
What sets Quality Trailers apart from the competition is our ground up building philosophy. Unlike many companies that modify existing cargo trailers we build each unit from scratch giving us total control over the entire build process.
This approach offers many advantages:
- Superior Structural Integrity: By designing and building the frame specifically for food service operations we create a more stable and durable foundation.
- Optimized Space Utilization: Without the constraints of an existing trailerโs dimensions we can maximize every inch of space for operational efficiency.
- Custom Infrastructure: Electrical, plumbing and ventilation systems are integrated from the beginning not added as afterthoughts resulting in better performance and easier maintenance.
- Enhanced Durability: Materials and components are selected specifically for commercial food service, so they can withstand intense use.
- Compliance by Design: Health department and safety requirements are built into the design from day one, reducing the risk of costly modifications later.
Our Owner Pavel Yasinskiy summed it up perfectly in the feature: โQuality and service is key to our business. Every trailer we make is extremely durable and provides a best-customized experience.โ
Turning Vision into Reality: The Build Process
Every concession trailer that leaves our shop is permitted and built to code, our designer and project manager oversee every stage of construction from blueprint to completion. Our process starts with detailed client consultations to understand not just what equipment they need but how they will be using the space.
From there our skilled craftsmen use CAD design and advanced manufacturing techniques to handle every aspect of construction efficiently and precisely:
- Custom frame fabrication tailored to the specific load requirements and equipment layout
- Precision metal work to ensure structural integrity while maximizing interior space
- Professional grade electrical systems to meet the demands of commercial kitchen equipment
- Commercial kitchen equipment installation by certified technicians
- Integrated fire suppression systems installed by our in-house Amerex certified team
We follow the highest industry standards so the final product meets and exceeds our customers expectations. As our website says โWe can bring your vision to life, all while providing the durability, craftsmanship and efficiency that Quality Trailers Inc is known for!โ
Safety First: Our Exclusive Partnership with Amerex
In an industry where open flames and hot oil are everyday tools fire safety isnโt an option โ itโs a necessity. Thatโs why since 2017 Amerex has been our exclusive fire suppression partner, every Quality Trailers unit is equipped with a reliable Amerex Kitchen Protection fire suppression system as a non-negotiable standard.
The Evolution of Our Safety Standards
Our journey to industry leading safety standards began by recognizing a gap in the food trailer market. While many builders were focusing on aesthetics and equipment, few were paying attention to the safety systems that protect the investment and the people working in these mobile kitchens.
The decision to standardize on Amerex systems came after extensive research and industry consultation. As Angel Gonzalez said in the feature: โSince 2017 Amerex has been our exclusive fire suppression partner. We ensure every trailer is equipped with a reliable Amerex system because itโs not just about meeting regulations โ itโs about protecting lives, businesses and the significant investment our customers make.โ
Why We Chose Amerex as Our Exclusive Partner
Several factors led to our decision to partner exclusively with Amerex:
- Industry Leading Reputation: Amerex is the premier manufacturer of fire suppression equipment and aligns with our commitment to only using the best components.
- Reliability Under Pressure: In emergency situations thereโs no room for equipment failure. Amerex systems have proven themselves in the most demanding situations.
- Comprehensive Support: From technical assistance to warranty service, Amerex provides the level of support we provide to our customers.
- In-House Installation Expertise: After initial conversations at a trade show in Orlando we worked with Amerex to bring the installation process in-house. This allowed us to control quality, installation aesthetics and build efficiency.
Vitaliy said in the feature: “We can control the quality, how well it was installed and how clean it was installed, which is a big thing for us. It impacts how quickly we can turn the whole trailer around. It could take us a day or two to install the whole system, whereas before we had to get on a schedule and be at the mercy of what parts the third-party installation companies had in stock
Amerex Overlapping KP Systems Advantages
One of the key features of our fire safety approach is the Amerex overlapping KP fire suppression systems in all our trailers. This system design has many benefits for mobile food operations:
- Adaptability to Kitchen Changes: The overlapping coverage means equipment can be rearranged or replaced without having to redesign the whole fire suppression system.
- Financial Benefits: This adaptability saves customers money if they want to modify their kitchen layout as their business grows.
- Increased Resale Value: The systemโs versatility makes the trailer more attractive to potential buyers if the original owner decides to sell.
As Vitaliy said in the feature: โIf a customer wants to switch from fryers to griddles, the Amerex system adapts. This saves them money and makes their trailer more versatile and easier to resell in the future.โ
Empowering Customers: Training, Education and Ongoing Support
At Quality Trailers we understand building a great trailer is only part of our responsibility. Equally important is making sure our customers have the knowledge and resources to operate their mobile kitchen safely and efficiently.
Training at Delivery
When customers pick up their new trailers we provide a comprehensive orientation that covers all aspects of operation, maintenance and safety. This includes:
- Hands on training with all equipment and systems
- Walkthrough of the Amerex KP system, including maintenance and emergency procedures
- Operational best practices to maximize efficiency and equipment longevity Troubleshooting guidance for common issues that may arise during operation
Vitaliy said in the feature: โWe encourage customers to record the walk-throughs as a training tool. We also provide laminated safety instructions and a detailed operations manual. So they have all the resources they need to operate safely and confidently.โ
A Partnership Built on Trust and Shared Values
Our partnership with Amerex is a prime example of how strategic partnerships can elevate industry standards. Both companies share the same core values โ quality, safety and customer service โ that have made this relationship work so well.
As Angel Gonzalez said in the Inside the Diamond feature, โWeโre joined at the hip with Amerexโฆ from their products to their support, theyโve been a game-changer for our business.โ
That sums up the synergy between our companies. By working together weโve set a new standard for safety and quality in the food truck and trailer industry and give our customers peace of mind as they chase their culinary dreams.
Innovation Never Stops: Looking to the Future
As we continue to evolve we will never stop innovating. From our humble beginnings in construction trailers to our solar powered mobile kitchens in 2016 weโve always been at the forefront of new technology that enhances the functionality, efficiency and sustainability of our trailers.
Recent innovations weโve added to our builds include:
- Advanced power management systems to optimize generator efficiency
- Expanded solar options for supplemental power in suitable applications
- Water usage monitoring and conservation systems

These features reflect our commitment to staying ahead of the curve in mobile kitchen design and offering our customers the best, most efficient and reliable trailers possible.
