FT-6

Fiberglass Food Trailer

OVERVIEW

Design a 6 m version of an existing 8 m fiberglass trailer without producing a new expensive body mould or changing the established exterior design. The project also required a new chassis, complete kitchen interior, electrical and water systems, while keeping the finished trailer within a 3600 kg gross weight limit

SCOPE

The fiberglass body concept was adapted to manufacture different trailer lengths using the existing 8 m tooling. A new chassis was designed from laser-cut and bent sheet metal, with FEA used for weight optimization. Cabinets, worktables, shelving, extraction, utilities, and other interior components were redesigned for the 6 m layout, with several modules standardized for future models

RESULT

The same fiberglass tooling was successfully used to produce 8 m, 6 m, and 4 m trailer versions, eliminating the need for separate expensive moulds. The 6 m trailer weighed 1769 kg empty and 2514 kg fully equipped, remaining well below the 3600 kg permitted gross weight. The new bent-sheet chassis reduced assembly time from approximately 6 days to 3 days. Standardized cabinet and worktable designs were later reused across other trailer models, and the 6 m version entered serial production in multiple customer-selected colors
