Shopping Information
What should I consider when starting with a food trailer?
Registration with the cantonal food inspection office is mandatory. You can obtain further information from the cantonal food inspection office.
What should I consider when looking for a location?
As long as you are on private property, you only need the owner’s consent. This also applies to parking spaces in industrial areas, in front of hardware stores, or near office buildings. It is important that the necessary electricity is provided.
If it is a public space, you must obtain a permit from the authorities. This is usually done through the city or municipal office.
There is also the option to participate in public events such as food festivals, open-air events, etc. For this, you must apply to the respective event organizers.
Which driving license category do I need to tow the food trailer?
The required license category always depends on the permissible total weight of the vehicle and the food trailer. In general, you can tow the food trailer with a Category B license. The maximum permissible total weight of 3500 kg must not be exceeded for Category B. The trailer (220, 280, 380 single-axle) has a maximum permissible total weight of 1300 kg. Thus, the towing vehicle must not exceed a maximum permissible total weight of 2200 kg. If it is higher, you must have a Category BE license.
How fast can I drive with the food trailer?
In Switzerland, the maximum speed limit is 100 km/h.
What else should I consider when driving a food trailer?
You must be able to see the center of your lane 100 meters behind you. If this is not possible, you must use mirror extensions. We recommend installing mirror extensions to avoid unnecessary checks and discussions.
Do I need insurance for the food trailer?
The trailer is generally covered by the liability insurance of the towing vehicle. Additionally, you can insure the food trailer with comprehensive coverage against vandalism, accidents, fire, etc. We recommend this to all customers.
