The Chikicha is Trailored's entry-level food trailer and the most affordable route from cooking at home to running a registered mobile food business. At 2m x 1.4m it carries two gas stoves, a chips fryer, a small sink, prep table, three serving hatches, and a 20L water bottle holder — everything a one-person chips-and-russians operation needs, and nothing it doesn't.
At R29,950 in Chromadek sheeting with free roadworthy papers, registration handled, and a 12-month warranty, the Chikicha undercuts most second-hand trailers while arriving brand new from our NRCS-registered factory in 7 working days. It tows behind virtually any vehicle with a tow bar, fits the tightest trading spots, and with the 3-month lay-buy option, many buyers secure it from existing trading income.
Who it's for
- First-time entrepreneurs with the tightest startup budget
- Informal traders moving into a compliant, registered unit
- Buyers comparing second-hand trailers who want new with warranty
- Parents and stokvels setting up a family income business
Popular uses
- Chips, russians, and vetkoek trading
- Roadside and rank-side breakfast and lunch service
- School and church event stalls
- First step before upgrading to a Pikila or Kangala
Model FAQ
Chikicha Trailer: common questions
Is the Chikicha really only R29,950?
Yes — R29,950 buys the complete trailer with two gas stoves, chips fryer, small sink, prep table, three serving hatches, water holder, and free roadworthy papers. Delivery is quoted separately based on your location.
Why buy a new Chikicha instead of a second-hand trailer?
At this price a new Chikicha competes directly with used trailers, but you get NRCS-registered manufacturing, a 12-month warranty, registration handled for you, valid roadworthy papers, and equipment that has never been abused.
Can I pay it off?
Trailored offers a 3-month lay-buy on qualifying builds: secure your trailer with a deposit and pay the balance over three months before delivery.
