American catering trucks of the highest quality
For more than 50 years, PLANO Manufacturing has been regarded as the world’s top producer of catering truck bodies. This is due to the care we take with each body and our conviction that our customers should receive the finest value possible.
Why Buy A PLANO?
By adhering to three very straightforward procedures, we have been able to preserve our reputation for the past 50 years. Excellent customer service, an excellent product, and affordable pricing.
Each PLANO catering unit is made with precision, and patent-pending system innovations allow for decreased weekly operating costs for our customers. This accrues over the course of owning and using a PLANO body and ultimately results in more financial savings for our customers over the course of ownership.
CATERING BODIES
All models include the PLANO Performance Package and are offered in 2 different sizes. Our 122-81 bodies are our 10 foot long box designed to be mounted on a 60-inch cab-to-axle commercial cab chassis. The 146-81 bodies are our 12 foot long box designed to be mounted on an 84-inch cab-to-axle commercial cab chassis. Once you pick out of the size of the body you want, all that is left to do is select the correct service, storage, and rear compartments to fit your needs.

Full Size Storage Compartment
The driver’s side of the vehicle is home to our storage compartment. This compartment is used to hold extra stock of dry goods, beverages, condiments, and more so that you can replenish on the go! Our full-size storage compartment offers the most space for over stock, complete with an ice bin and two shelves.
BBQ Propane Compartment
Instead of the standard undermount propane on the service side, we offer a BBQ propane compartment on the storage side that holds two standard 20 lb BBQ propane bottles. These come installed in a vented compartment and with an automatic changeover regulator that will switch to the second bottle when the first bottle is empty.
OPEN ICE BIN
The passenger side of the vehicle is home to the Service Compartment. This compartment is used to serve cold beverages and food, dry goods (chips, cookies, cakes, etc.), and condiments. The base of this compartment is an ice bin with dividers, four serving shelves, and three condiment boxes.
