That was just the cost of the generator NOT including cantilevering it off the truck frame, building sound attenuation measures around it with sound deadening foam, routing electrical main runs to auto transfer switch, modifying truck floor to drop in, custom frame and access door, 30-40 gallon custom fuel tank built and mounted (with 2nd fuel gauge for generator only), 2nd battery tray fabricated and mounted to truck frame, etc.
This was a $45,000 generator built in the USA by CK Power with a tuned Kohler diesel engine coupled with a Wisconsin based Marathon brand generator head with Deep Sea Electronics digital controllers, readouts and onboard diagnostics. (A white coffee cup is shown in photos for size reference of this beast). This is a very tall order but not to worry, this truck is equipped with a MONSTER 42KW California Tier4 Clean Diesel Generator. Furthermore, you need one larger than you think you will need because of surge loads and later expansion, you need one that is quiet enough to not affect the customer experience or noise level inside truck, in some jurisdictions you need one that passes new stringent emissions standards, you need one that is fuel efficient relative to its size, and you need one that will last for a very long time under load. At the heart of some food trucks is a propane tank and a small cheap generator dropped out the back door when in service to run fridges and fans, however, with some types of food services such as espresso/coffee with lots of 220v and other electrical needs, propane is not your source of production, you need a strong and reliable generator.
This is not a cheap build but this price is certainly less than what has been spent on it overall (there is quality that you cant even see- behind walls, in the systems, in the weight distribution, in the structural integrity, in the layout efficiencies, etc)īecause of all this experience behind the build, EVERY little detail was thought out!īelow are just some of the more apparent examples of why many features on this truck are just a step above what you see out there in the food truck space:Ī good foundation is at the heart of any good build and this one has one of the best. We are not 1st time truck builders so the kinks have been worked out over the years. The overall user experience is fantastic and was built with a dream team of people with strong backgrounds in all the right areas such as a truck body manufacturer, a 12 year food truck builder/operator and 10 years of specialty coffee experience.
There are not too many trucks that SCREAM a PREMIUM experience of SPECIALTY 3rd Wave Coffee like this one with classy curb appeal and big windows showing off a custom powder coated La Marzocco espresso machine and a Mahlkonig Twin grinder.
