Made for operators who care how it looks and how it works
Your trailer is a storefront on wheels. We design for barista flow, power draw, water, and a service window that doesn’t fight the build — then finish it like architectural metal, not a rental cargo shell.

FAQ
How long does a build take?
Typical builds take 2–6 weeks depending on specs. Heavy custom or out-of-area jobs get a dated range with your quote — not a homepage promise.
How are the trailers insulated?
We use closed-cell spray foam in the walls to cut exterior sun and heat load — more comfortable in hot and cold environments.
Who builds the trailer frames?
We weld the steel frames in-house — all-welded construction, finished with rust-prevention paint — then outfit the body and systems in the same shop.
Do you restore vintage Airstreams?
We can discuss customer-sourced vintage conversions. Our core line is new craft-metal retro builds that deliver the look and durability without requiring a full restoration chassis.
Can I supply my own espresso equipment?
Yes. Many owners do. We’ll design power, water, and counter layout around what you run.
Do you ship?
Pickup / delivery options — fill in. (Placeholder until shop policy is locked.)
Who do I call after delivery?
You’re dealing with the fab shop that built it — Primo Metal Works — for mods, repairs, and questions.
