Vending truck bodies refer to specialized bodies that are designed for mobile vending operations. These bodies transform a standard truck into a mobile business, often a food truck, but also for other products and services.
Vending truck bodies are primarily custom-designed for delivery/sale of beverages and pre-packed dry snacks that do not require cooking or heating before sale.
Vending truck bodies are highly customizable and can be built to accommodate a wide range of business needs. Vending truck bodies have also morphed into catering vans for mobile food service and mobile coffee shop.
These are also custom designed for mobile retail, such as selling clothing, jewelry, or other goods. The interior is designed like a small shop with racks, shelving, and a checkout counter.
Vending bodies are often custom-built to a business’s specific requirements, including the type of products sold, the equipment needed, and the workflow.
They are typically constructed in aluminum or fiberglass reinforced plywood (FRP) to optimize payload and fuel efficiency.
Vending bodies are designed for easy access for both the operator and the customer. This can include features like roll-up side doors, serving windows with canopies, and low step-in heights.
Cargo vans and step-vans are also being converted through upfit into vending truck bodies. It is a difficult area to define because it is as much an application as a type of truck body.
