Ice Cream Truck Client from Australia

Our customer Lily is a market vendor from Australia. She sells desserts and cold drinks at weekend markets and parks. She found our ice cream food trailer on Facebook and contacted Foodline about starting a mobile ice cream business.

After discussing her requirements with our sales team, Lily visited our factory through a video call and viewed our production workshop and food trailers. After learning more about our manufacturing process and checking the trailer details, she decided to place an order.

In January 2026, Lily ordered a 3-meter round ice cream trailer. We equipped it with a double sink and anti-rust chassis based on her requirements. The pink trailer has a 360° display that helps attract customers at busy markets and parks.

Customer Feedback

I struggled with melting ice cream, fixed stalls and low foot traffic before. Foodline ice cream trailer solved all problems: strong cooling prevents melting, 360° display attracts crowds, and it’s easy to move. Half the local price with professional support. It’s the best solution to my business troubles!

FAQ

What permits do I need to sell ice cream in Australia?

You need a Mobile Food Vendor Permit from your local council. You also need a Food Safety Supervisor certificate.

Do you provide English manuals?

Yes. We provide English operation manuals, cleaning guides, and wiring diagrams for the ice cream machine and all other equipment.

Does the ice cream machine need a water connection?

Soft serve machines can be water‑cooled or air‑cooled. We gave Lily an air‑cooled machine – no water hookup needed, only electricity. The ice maker needs water, but we added a water tank and pump so it can run automatically.

What if a part breaks?

Within one year, if the problem is due to a manufacturing defect, we will send you a free replacement part.
