Do food trucks need to meet the same standards as a restaurant?

Requirements for mobile food premises depend on the council and the vehicle. We build to your design and approvals.

Can you also supply the wall sheeting for the truck?

Yes, stainless steel wall sheeting and heat shields can be made to size for the vehicle interior.

How do I get a quote?

Send us your kitchen layout or equipment list, the site address and a few photos. We will scope the canopy and ductwork and come back with a quote.

Does the canopy need to meet Australian Standards?

Commercial kitchen ventilation in Australia is governed by AS 1668.2, along with building and fire requirements that depend on the site. We fabricate to the design and approvals for your project; see our compliance page.

Commercial Kitchen Canopies for Food Trucks and Mobile Kitchens

A food truck canopy has to capture heat and grease in a very small space, without adding too much weight or intruding on the working area. Every truck is a different shape, so a fixed catalogue size rarely fits.

We fabricate food truck and trailer canopies to your layout, with the duct and fan arranged to suit the vehicle roof and the equipment fitted.

Built for Mobile Kitchens

Bring the truck or the build drawings and the equipment list. We measure what the canopy has to clear and make it to suit.

Compact sizes to suit tight interiors and low ceilings
Weight considered, so the canopy does not overload the vehicle
Duct spigot position to suit roof penetrations and fan units
Stainless steel wall protection around fryers, grills and plates
Removable filters for quick cleaning between services

How We Build It

KS Steel Engineering has been operating for 13 years from Epping. You send us the layout or equipment list and a few site photos; we confirm measurements, scope the canopy, ducting and fan, and quote. The canopy is fabricated in our Epping workshop, then our team delivers and installs it and connects the ductwork and fan.

Because we make the canopy ourselves, changes to size, filter layout or duct connection points are handled at the fabrication stage rather than on site.

Standards, and Where We Install

Commercial kitchen ventilation in Australia is governed by AS 1668.2, and other requirements cover the fire performance of surrounding construction. What applies depends on the building, the cooking equipment and your local authority. We fabricate to the design and approvals for your project.

Our workshop is at Unit 1/22 Salicki Ave, Epping. We install across Melbourne, including the northern suburbs of Lalor, Thomastown, Mill Park, Bundoora, South Morang, Whittlesea, Reservoir, Preston, Campbellfield, Broadmeadows and Craigieburn, plus Altona, Dandenong, Clyde and Geelong. We have also completed projects in regional Victoria (Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Mildura, Wodonga, Seymour, Moe and Drouin) and in Canberra.
