Why We are Portland's #1 Food Truck Builders

Portland’s Preferred Builder for Multnomah County Compliance

Portland is the food cart capital of the world, and Multnomah County Environmental Health has some of the most specific "Mobile Unit" requirements in the country. We build to ensure your cart is pod-ready from day one.

  • Mobility Requirements: Portland code is strict about units being truly mobile. We ensure all our carts remain on wheels with no permanent utility connections, satisfying the "ability to move at all times" mandate.
  • Class I - IV Categorization: Whether you are Class II (simple prep) or Class IV (full onsite cooking/dishwashing), we engineer your plumbing and storage to match your specific OHA classification.
  • Grey Water & Fresh Water Ratios: We install high-capacity tanks that meet Multnomah’s specific sanitation protocols, including the required 15% overflow buffer for wastewater.
  • Fire & Safety: All Portland builds include NFPA-compliant ventilation and fire suppression systems, essential for passing the Portland Fire & Rescue inspections required for pod placement.

We ensure your build is fully compliant, whether you’re serving downtown Portland, metro area or anywhere else.
