Concession Trailers in Sacramento, CA
Built at our Sacramento yard — HCD-certified trailers, county-ready blueprints, permits, and delivery, all under one roof.
If you are starting a food business in Sacramento, the trailer is only half the job — the other half is getting it legal. 916 Concession is based right here in the Sacramento area, and we build mobile food units that pass California HCD certification, carry the right paperwork for the county health department, and arrive titled and ready to work. You bring the menu and the decisions; 916 Concession handles the trailer build, the compliance blueprints the health department asks for, the HCD insignia, and the DMV side. One yard, start to street.

Where Sacramento vendors actually sell
Sacramento has one of the strongest mobile-vendor scenes in Northern California, and most of it runs year-round. SactoMoFo gatherings, Concerts in the Park at Cesar Chavez Plaza through the summer, the California State Fair at Cal Expo, and the weekend farmers markets under the W/X freeway and around Midtown all pull steady crowds that go looking for food trucks and trailers. Oak Park, Del Paso, and the corridors around Florin and Stockton Boulevard have active vendor traffic on their own. A unit built for Sacramento needs to handle long event days and summer heat in the valley, which is why we spec real ventilation and electrical that can carry your whole cooking line without tripping at the worst possible moment.
Two approvals, and who handles which
There are two separate approvals on a California food trailer, and it helps to keep them straight. The first is the unit itself: California requires the trailer to be built to Title 25 and to carry an HCD insignia — the state's stamp that the unit is safe and legal. That part is 916 Concession's job, and we do it in-house. The second is your health permit, which you pull from your county health department (in Sacramento, that's the county Environmental Management Department). That permit is yours to file — but you don't go in blind. Most counties want to see how the unit is built before you open: a three-compartment sink, a separate handwash sink, correctly sized fresh and waste water tanks, county-approved cleanable interior surfaces, and a layout that keeps raw and ready-to-eat food apart. 916 Concession hands you the county-ready compliance blueprints that show all of it, and points you the right way through the process — so when you sit down with the health department, you are bringing answers, not questions.
Building the right unit for your menu
There is no single 'right' size. The 7×14 is our most-ordered shell because it fits most menus and tows easily, but 916 Concession builds custom — shorter units for a tight menu and a small tow vehicle, longer units when you are running a full cooking line with a hood, fryers, flat-top, and refrigeration. What matters more than length is matching the build to what you actually cook. A heavy fryer-and-griddle operation usually wants a 100-amp panel; a simpler coffee or dessert concept can run comfortably on less. We finish interiors in food-safe, cleanable, county-approved cladding, plumb the three-compartment and handwash sinks the health department expects, and size your fresh and grey water tanks to your menu so you are not refilling every hour at a busy event.
Getting your trailer titled and on the road in California
A trailer that cooks food still has to be a legal vehicle. In California the DMV issues temporary tags first and then mails the permanent plates, and 916 Concession handles both stages for you — you should not have to spend a day at the DMV to put your business on the road. We register the unit, carry it through the temp-tag stage, and make sure the permanent plates follow. Financing, when you need it, is arranged through third-party lenders we work with; 916 Concession is not a lender and does not promise a rate, but we can point you at the partners who fund food-trailer buyers so the build and the money move together.
Delivery from our Sacramento yard
Plan your opening around the build, not the drive. A custom 916 Concession unit typically takes about six weeks, and the exact timing depends on inspection scheduling — the unit has to pass before it can carry its HCD insignia and hit the road. Once it is built and certified, delivery to a Sacramento vendor is the easy part: 916 Concession runs transport with an in-house team — the same crew on every build, not a random load-board hauler — so the trailer that leaves the yard is the trailer that shows up at your spot, on time and undamaged.
High-traffic vendor spots around Sacramento: Cesar Chavez Plaza (Concerts in the Park), Cal Expo and the California State Fair, SactoMoFo events, the Midtown and W/X freeway farmers markets, Oak Park, Del Paso Heights, and the Florin and Stockton Boulevard corridors. College and event traffic from Sacramento State and Golden 1 Center add weeknight and weekend demand.
Sacramento County Environmental Management Department (EMD)
This is your permitting authority — filing the health permit is your step, not ours. 916 Concession gives you the county-ready compliance blueprints to bring to them, and points you the right way. For specifics on plan review and permits, contact the department directly.
A custom build runs about six weeks, depending on inspection scheduling. Once the unit is built and certified, local Sacramento and Sacramento County delivery is handled by 916 Concession's in-house transport team — quick to schedule since the yard is local.
