Used Hot Dog Carts

Buyer Beware, used hot dog carts can at times be a nightmare for the buyer.  Often times older models of hot dog carts, food vending carts, hot dog stands and concession trailers are outdated and no longer meet the code in the city that they were originally purchased for.  You can feel a little bit more secure if the cart is in operation and under a current health department permit.  In most midwest states like Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Illinois if a cart is currently licensed, and inspected it will be approved to run.  Recommendations will often be made by the county health departments to upgrade the water systems and the burner systems if they are not sufficient or if they lack modern fixtures.  The best way to find out if the used hot dog cart that you are buying meets your local county health codes is to get the guidelines and ask what codes are the most important when you are looking to buy a used hot dog cart or mobile food stand.  Do they require water under pressure?  How long will it take for your water to heat up so that you can wash your hands?  What temperature is the handwashing water on your hot dog cart?  These are some very important questions.  At times the hot dog cart or mobile food stands will have an old serpentine coil water heating system, these are ineffective and when water is heated and steam is created your water lines will pop off every time.  Watch for someone who tells you to leave your hot water tap open to release pressure, you should have a pressure relief system installed on the water system or an on demand hot water system.  Dreammaker Hot Dog Carts, located in Fort Wayne, Indiana sells hot dog carts, mobile food stands and concession stands with the standard eccotemp hot water system which is a hot water on demand system.  Dreammaker Hot Dog Carts has the ability to manufacture NSF hot dog carts.  They also specialize in a cool air flow burner system which makes sure the heat stays where you need it most, in the burner well not heating up your cart or your cooler section.  What is unique about Osbornes Hot Dog Carts  in Fort Wayne, Indiana is that they have created options for any type of food production, this unit heats directly from your steam well and is very easily controlled by installed louvers.  Also, new in the accessory department is a free standing propane steam table unit, full size.  This unit is one of the only units that are manufactured specifically on the hot dog vending carts or as a stand alone unit.  Unique, and adds massive opportunities for any hot dog vendors current menu.  Just visit http://www.dreammakerhotdogcarts.com for more information on getting your cart upgraded to some of their unique options or for an entire hot dog cart overhaul.  If you don't like how your hot dog cart operates we can modify your existing cart without you having to buy a new one.
