Ice Cream Trailers for Sale

Eastcoast Concessions builds ice cream and soft serve trailers in Wayne, New Jersey, spec'd to the machine you will run — Taylor, Carpigiani, Electro Freeze or a unit you already own. We size the electrical service, drainage and counters to your equipment list, since one soft serve machine plus a dipping cabinet and freezer usually needs 50-amp service. Builds take 2–14 weeks from drawing approval.

How much does an ice cream trailer cost?

Most ice cream and soft serve trailers we build run $30,000–$48,000. Smaller cart-style frozen dessert units can start around $24,000. The machine you choose drives more of that spread than the trailer itself.

Do you supply the soft serve machine?

We design around the machine you want — Taylor, Carpigiani, Electro Freeze, or a used unit you already own. Tell us the model and we spec the electrical, drainage, and counter cutouts to it.

How much power does an ice cream trailer need?

More than most first-time buyers expect. A single soft serve machine plus a dipping cabinet and freezer usually needs a 50-amp service, and multi-head machines can push past that. We size the panel and inlet to your actual equipment list so you're not managing breakers during a rush.

Can one trailer do both soft serve and hard-dip ice cream?

Yes, and plenty of operators do. It costs counter space and power: a dipping cabinet takes a run of wall that would otherwise be prep or storage. Worth deciding before layout, because retrofitting a cabinet later usually means moving the sinks.

Is the equipment health-code compliant?

We build with NSF-compliant equipment and to the retail food code that applies where you'll operate, including the three-compartment sink and handwash setup inspectors look for. Your local inspector still makes the final call and the inspection itself is your responsibility.

How long does an ice cream trailer take to build?

Builds run 2–14 weeks from drawing approval; cart-scale frozen dessert units sit at the quicker end and larger trailers run longer. Anything in our in-stock inventory can be collected as soon as payment clears.

Do you deliver ice cream trailers?

No — every trailer is collected in person from our shop at 6 Leo Place, Wayne, NJ, within two weeks of our notification that it is complete. Buyers arrange their own transport home. You take delivery of the finished unit here, the way you'd pick up a new vehicle from a dealership.
