Concession Trailer & Food Truck Appraisals

Independent, defensible values for mobile kitchens across New England — the specialty most appraisers won't touch.

Overview

Mobile kitchens don't fit a standard valuation book

A concession trailer or food truck is part vehicle, part commercial kitchen, and part custom build, and a generic price guide misses most of what makes it worth what it's worth. We value the whole package: the chassis, the build quality, and every piece of equipment inside. We've valued everything from single carts to full carnival concession fleets.

What we assess

  • Chassis, frame, axles and road-worthiness
  • Build quality and fabrication of the unit
  • Commercial kitchen equipment, hoods, fryers, refrigeration
  • Propane, generators, electrical and plumbing systems
  • Health-grade finishes and serviceability
  • Usage, hours and overall condition
  • Title, VIN and documentation

When you need one

  • Buying or selling a used unit
  • Financing or refinancing a trailer or truck
  • Estate or probate settlement
  • Divorce or partnership asset division
  • Total-loss settlement after damage or fire
  • Lender or SBA collateral requirement

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is my concession trailer worth?

It depends on the build, the equipment package, hours, and condition, not just the year and size. We value the complete unit, including the commercial kitchen, rather than treating it like a bare trailer.

Do you appraise food trucks as well as trailers?

Yes. We handle both motorized food trucks and towable concession trailers, along with carts and specialty mobile-vending units.

Can I use the appraisal to get financing?

Yes. Lenders that finance used food trailers and trucks routinely accept an independent written appraisal to establish collateral value.

Do you travel to inspect the unit?

Yes, we cover all of New England. When travel isn't practical, we can often work from detailed photos and documentation.

Need a number you can stand behind?

Independent, QC-reviewed appraisals across New England. Tell us what you've got and we'll follow up, usually within one business day.
