Food Truck & Mobile Kitchen Hood Cleaning

Food trucks, food trailers, concession units, and mobile catering fleets across TX, OK, LA, NM, and AR count on Facilitec Southwest for NFPA 96–compliant hood cleaning that fits tight truck hoods, propane-fueled cook lines, and the only day of the week you actually aren't cooking — with fleet pricing for operators running more than one unit.

A Mobile Kitchen Is Still A Kitchen —
And Still On Fire Every Day

A food truck does the same cooking a restaurant does — in a space the size of a parking spot, over propane, inside a metal box, with customers standing three feet away. NFPA 96 applies the same way it does in any commercial kitchen, the grease builds up faster in that tight duct run, and a single exhaust fire or failed health inspection can shut down your truck — right before Friday-night service. Facilitec Southwest keeps mobile kitchens clean, compliant, and ready to roll.

Why Mobile Kitchens Are A Unique Fire Risk

Regular exhaust cleaning dramatically reduces your risk by keeping flammable grease out of the exhaust system and ensuring your suppression system can perform properly during an emergency.

Why Mobile Operators Choose Facilitec Southwest

Mobile Units We Service

Every mobile cook line that runs on propane, natural gas, or solid fuel falls under NFPA 96 — and we clean all of them.

Food Trucks

Step-van and custom-built food trucks running full cook lines with fryers, flat-tops, grills, and char-broilers.

Food Trailers

Towable food trailers from concession-size to full gooseneck units, with standalone exhaust systems and propane cook lines.

BBQ & Smoker Trailers

Wood-fired smoker trailers and competition-style BBQ rigs with heavy creosote, grease loading, and higher fire risk.

Concession & Festival Units

State fair concessions, festival food trailers, and event rental units with seasonal use patterns and heavy peak loading.

Mobile Catering Units

Wedding, corporate, and event catering trucks with high-volume banquet kitchens built into the mobile chassis.

Commissary Fleet Operations

Commissary kitchens hosting multiple operator trucks — serviced as a single on-site cleaning visit for the whole lot.

Our Mobile Kitchen Cleaning Process

A four-step workflow engineered for tight truck hoods, propane-safe practices, and weekday commissary turnaround.

Schedule & Location

We set a time at your commissary, kitchen, or home base so the truck doesn't have to come to us — your off-day stays your off-day.

Hand-Scrape & Containment

Full manual grease removal from hood, plenum, duct, and fan — with careful containment protecting dining-room finishes, carpet, and fixtures.

Degrease & Propane-Safe Cleaning

Food-safe degreasers and contained low-pressure washing — engineered for confined spaces and LP-fueled cook lines, not a restaurant's rooftop stack.

Sticker & Hand-Off

Dated NFPA 96 service sticker inside the truck, before/after photo record, and a digital compliance report emailed before the next service day.

Fleet Programs For Multi-Truck Operators

One operator, multiple units, one cleaning program. Here's how we structure it.

SINGLE UNIT

Owner-Operator Service

One truck or trailer, one scheduled visit at your commissary or lot — flat pricing, fast turnaround, and a sticker that lasts until next service.

SMALL FLEET

2–5 Truck Operators

Stacked cleaning visits at one commissary, bundled pricing, and a single consolidated invoice — so paperwork doesn’t scale with the fleet.

MULTI-TRUCK FLEET

6+ Unit Operators

Dedicated account manager, quarterly or bi-monthly recurring service across the whole fleet, and reporting that rolls up per unit and per location.

COMMISSARY

Commissary-Wide Program

For commissary operators: one cleaning visit, every tenant unit on site cleaned and certified, compliance records kept by the commissary for every truck parked there.

Protect Your Roof from Grease Damage

Your rooftop is just as vulnerable as your hood. Facilitec Southwest installs and maintains rooftop grease containment systems to stop leaks, protect roofing materials, and prevent costly repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does NFPA 96 apply to food trucks?

Yes. NFPA 96 applies to any commercial kitchen exhaust system, mobile or stationary. State fire marshals and local health inspectors routinely require documented exhaust cleaning for mobile units — and many commissaries and event organizers demand proof of NFPA 96 compliance before granting access.

Active seven-days-a-week operations: monthly. Weekend-only operations: quarterly. Heavy wood-fire and smoker trailers: every 1-2 months due to creosote buildup. Low-volume or seasonal festival units: at least semi-annually and before every major event season. We’ll help you match frequency to your actual cook volume.

We come to you. We meet the truck at your commissary, home base, or wherever you keep it on your off day. That way your rest day stays a rest day and the truck never loses service hours to towing or travel.

Yes. Commissary operators often schedule us for a single stacked visit — we clean every tenant unit on site back-to-back, deliver individual compliance reports, and keep a commissary-wide compliance log that protects your facility’s permits.

Yes. We offer fleet pricing, consolidated invoicing, and a single account manager for operators running 2, 5, 20, or more units. Paperwork and scheduling stay simple even as the fleet grows.

Yes. Smokers and wood-fired BBQ trailers carry a different mix of grease and creosote and often need accelerated cleaning frequency. Our technicians are trained to service solid-fuel exhaust systems safely, without damaging seasoned cook surfaces.
