In Ulvila, a small city in Eastern Finland, a local food entrepreneur decided to take the next step in her growing business. After operating a larger outdoor food trailer for several years, she wanted something smaller and easier to manage. This compact mobile unit could be set up quickly at markets, festivals, and events.
She reached out to ETODEVICE, a professional food trailer manufacturer known for its custom mobile kitchens. Together, we developed a small food trailer designed specifically for selling traditional Finnish cooked fish and snacks.
The result was the FR280WD model —a bright RAL1026 fluorescent-yellow round trailer that perfectly matches Finland’s vibrant street food culture.
Customer’s Needs and Business Goals
The customer already had experience running a food business and understood what worked best in Finland’s climate and event environment.
Her main requests were:
A compact trailer that’s easy to move and set up by two people.
Enough counter space to prepare and serve cooked fish efficiently.
Safe and reliable electrical connections compatible with EU 220V/50Hz standards.
An eye-catching color to stand out in outdoor markets.
ETODEVICE’s design and production team worked closely with her to make sure every feature met her expectations while staying within budget.
