We’ll build your most creative campaign idea yet.

YOUR TRUSTED BUILDER OF BRAND ACTIVATION TRAILERS
TRULY CUSTOM UNITS FABRICATED IN THE U.S.
No marketer wants to hear that their creative vision can’t be brought to life. Not only is it disappointing, it means you have to go back to your client and tell them it can’t be done. Campaigns then have to be updated with new ideas to replace the one you really wanted to make work. You deserve a partner that can bring your most creative ideas to life.
When you partner with Karpatia to build your marketing trailer, you’re relying on our fabrication capabilities that are endlessly customizable to bring your campaigns to life–exactly how you pictured them. Each brand activation truck and trailer we build is truly custom, from the paint colors to the countertops.
Whether you want to create a luxurious VIP experience inside a vintage Airstream trailer or transform a horse trailer into the perfect sampling unit, we’ll expertly plan, design, and build the custom trailer you need to execute your campaign. Contact us to tell us about your build.
TRAILER RENTALS FOR BRAND ACTIVATIONS
Do you need a brand activation trailer for a one-day event or a three-month tour? Even though your mobile pop-up is temporary, it should still stand out in a crowd and leave a lasting impression. We’ll custom build your marketing trailer to your exact specifications, starting with choosing the right base model and installing custom finishes like wraps, signage, service windows, product displays, and more. Tell us about your campaign and we’ll create a custom unit for you that expertly represents your client.
CUSTOM MARKETING TRAILERS FOR MOBILE CAMPAIGNS
Brand activation trucks turn heads wherever they go, but sometimes you need to roll up to a marketing event in something truly immersive. This is where brand activation trailers deliver.
Airstream trailers are an inviting way to create an immersive experience, whether it’s an exclusive VIP lounge or an engaging retail pop-up. Horse trailers, like the one in our Hermès activation trailer project, provide retro charm with a smaller footprint that’s perfect for dispensing food and beverage samples. If neither options feels quite right for your client, additional trailer options like large concession trailers and small roundtop trailers are available.
No matter which model you choose for your brand activation, each trailer is unique to your client and addresses the specific needs of each campaign.
AIRSTREAM TRAILERS FOR VIP AREAS AND INDOOR SHOWROOMS
Airstream trailers are one of the most popular choices for brand activations because they offer a large footprint that’s perfect for creating immersive experiences. This American icon can be turned into a pop-up kitchen, VIP lounge, live demo station, mobile showroom, or nearly any other brand activation you want it to be. Whether you need an Airstream trailer for one afternoon or a nationwide tour, the unit easily travels from city to city.
While there’s nothing quite like an original Airstream, sometimes the path to fabricating your brand activation trailer is more effectively routed toward building a chrome replica. Due to strict campaign budgets or timelines, building a chrome replica trailer is often the best choice for the project.
Replica chrome trailers give the same instantly-recognizable silhouette with the option of more easily customizing it from the ground up. While original Airstreams are also entirely customizable and can be transformed into whatever you would like it to be, there will still be the constraints due to the footprint of the trailer itself.
Both are great options depending on the needs of your campaign!
CUSTOM HORSE TRAILERS FOR MARKETING EVENTS
With its retro flair, you can bet on this horse to win the race at crowded marketing events! Horse trailers are a charming canvas for brands to leave their mark on with custom wraps, signage, and interior finishes. With their smaller footprint, horsebox conversions work well for serving gelato, beverages of all kinds, food samples, product giveaways, and other general-use catering activations that don’t require large cooking equipment.
Each horse trailer brand activation can be customized to suit a variety of clients, from luxury fashion brands to food and beverage companies. Whether you want to create an interactive photo booth or pop-up coffee station, a horse trailer provides an open footprint that can be transformed to your exact specifications.
Horse trailers have their own history of transporting a beautiful (and heavy!) animal, which will always be a part of your brand activation trailer’s story. Horse trailers were originally made to be durable, which means your base unit is built to last- perfect for nationwide marketing tours.
If you are looking for a smaller brand activation trailer that has more personality than standard concession units, consider riding off into the sunset with a horse trailer!
SAMPLING UNITS FOR FESTIVALS AND TRADESHOWS
But wait, there are even more trailer options to choose from for your brand activation! Custom concession trailers both big and small are also available to create unique brand experiences at marketing events.
Small food trailers like the aesthetically pleasing roundtop models are a charming option for coffee stations, sampling units, or retail pop-ups. When you need enough space to serve more in-depth dishes, large concession trailers provide a blank slate for all types of commercial kitchen equipment.
Tell us about your brand activation, and we’ll guide you through choose the best base model for your event.
Looks Like a Truck, Functions Like a Trailer
One of our favorite trailer options doesn’t look like a trailer at all! Vintage trucks like the Volkswagen bus or Citroën HY van can be customized to function as a trailer rather than a drivable experiential vehicle. It provides the desired look of a classic vehicle with the reliability and ease of travel provided by trailers.
