Construction
Hot dog carts are generally built from materials that resist corrosion, are hygiene friendly, and are easy to clean. This generally means that they are made of stainless steel, but some carts also have components made from plastic, wood, or fiberglass. The food preparation body of the cart is often mounted on a chassis that can be easily towed, to a vendor's location by a vehicle or pushed to a location by hand. Types of carts may vary from a lightweight push cart of only about 200 lbs (90 kg), to fully enclosed walk-in carts weighing 1/2 a ton or more. A good hot dog cart must generally be equipped with the following components. Stainless steel easily cleanable construction ; 1 7/8 hitch; standard wiring ; 20 lb propane tank (NSF Approved); full-size umbrella; insulated soda cooler; although it is not a good idea due to the high heat generated by the cart. You will end up using an ice chest; hot & cold water hand sink (NSF Parts); display case with doors; standard tail lamps; 5–7 gallon fresh-water tank; waste tank (7–9 gallon); three individually operated burners; adjustable controls; bottom storage compartment; safe to use pilots on stove.
