Features That Make Century Goldrush Trailers
Your Best Buy

1 Century’s food trailers offer the best body construction available - proven by over 20 years of in-use experience.  Designed from the ground up for food service operation, Century body construction utilizes custom structural aluminum extrusions and thick wall skins that are welded to produce a unibody.  The result is a trailer that offers a visually smooth and very clean exterior appearance, a lighter towing weight than traditional trailers, and superior corrosion resistance and durability.

Structural rounded body corners offer reduced wind resistance during towing, a more elegant appearance, and rugged impact resistance.  Century’s body corners are not flimsy pieces of trim as frequently found on other trailers.

2 Standard body width for Century Goldrush trailers is 102”.  This is the maximum road width allowed by DOT with out requiring special permits.  The 102” width allows Century to offer the maximum interior space for preparation and serving.  Note that the structural corner supports have been kept to a minimum, keeping visibility at a maximum.
3 Goldrush trailers equipped with Century’s optional air-ride retractable suspension, feature an aluminum rubrail around the lower body perimeter.  This rubrail offers resistance to body scratches and scrapes during towing, and protects the body from customer inflicted toe scrapes and scratches when in operation.
4 Century mounts the tail signal lights and license plate on the awnings causing them to disappear from view when you are in operation.  This arrangement not only improves the trailer visually, it removes the lights from a location vulnerable to damage and raises the lights for improved visibility during towing.  (Century raised the lights and improved visibility long before a government study showed that it substantially reduced rear end collisions.)

Century Goldrush awnings are rugged.  Like the body, they are welded aluminum construction for reduced weight and maximum corrosion resistance.  Over the years owners have reported amazing stories about their ability to withstand high winds and hail storms while surrounding trailers and buildings sustained substantial damage.

Also note Century’s clean awning appearance.  We believe in hiding the awning attachment fittings and hardware for a smooth, finished look.

It is not always possible to sell all products at all events, so Century builds the awning sign frames to allow easy sign panel exchange.  Simply remove the screws holding the rear retaining frame and replace the sign panel.

Awning signs are illuminated by single-pin high-output fluorescent lights.  Not only are HO bulbs brighter, but they will easily start in cold weather, they will not vibrate loose during transport, and they have end gaskets to keep moisture out.

7 Built into the underside of the awnings are additional high-output fluorescent lights that provide body and serving area lighting for night time events.  The awning lights are enclosed with lexan covers to keep the lights clean and keep customers from touching them.  They are integrated into the awnings so that they do not shine in the eyes of approaching customers, providing maximum trailer illumination instead.
8 Like the rest of the Goldrush trailer, Century’s sign marquees are aluminum construction.  Century marquees are available in a choice of styles and designs, allowing you to select the style that is most appropriate for your operation and a design that will set you apart from your competition.
9 Tall serving windows are designed for maximum visibility that enhances your display.  Experience shows that the more open and visible you make a trailer, the more sales you will generate.  Food sales are frequently impulse driven, so the more enticing your presentation, the more you will sell.  Food is also entertainment.  You hook your customers by allowing them to become involved with food production and preparation.  Century has optimized its design for show, giving your customers a ring-side seat to your operation.

Century's windows also feature a unique top-hung sliding window system that eliminates the tedious chore of digging dirt and spilled drinks out of the bottom window tracks to keep them operating.

Century offers a choice of suspension systems – standard tandem axle rubber-ride suspension or optional retractable air-ride suspension.

Illustrated is the optional retractable air-ride suspension which lowers the trailer body to ground-level for operation.  When lowered, the interior floor of the trailer is only five inches above ground-level, placing you eye level with your customers, and affording them an outstanding view of your display and easy access to your serving counters.

In addition, the air-ride feature offers the smoothest, most gentle ride regardless of weight.  Isolating the equipment and systems on a cushion of air protects your investment from the punches, jolts, and vibrations of rough roads - everything lasts noticeably longer and requires less maintenance.

11 A standard Goldrush feature is flush mounted, full wheel- well covers.  These aluminum cover panels are light in weight for easy handling, and are easily removed to completely expose the tires and suspension components for inspection or servicing.  When installed, they blend smoothly into the trailer body, hiding the tires from view, for a far cleaner and more professional appearance.
12 Heavy-duty crank style leveling/support jacks are mounted on four corners of the trailer to allow precise leveling on sloping sites, and to provide a solid foundation during operation.  These high capacity jacks have a much higher resistance to side loads than scissor style jacks, and crank jacks eliminate the need to carry wooden block of various sizes.
