As of 2022 there are approximately 35,000 Food Trucks operating within the United States, which is an increase of over 8% since 2021. With start up costs lower than that of a brick and mortar restaurant, and the ability to operate in multiple locations it has never been easier to get started running a food truck. Since 2017 the number of food truck operations has increased year over year, showing a rise of nearly 14% in that 5 year period. HoodMart is constantly striving to increase exhaust hood technology to better serve our customers, and that is exactly what the Low Box Concession Hood was designed to do - help our customers run their food trucks more efficiently.

The LBOX-AV Low Box Concession Hood by Hoodmart is a new, industry first Advanced Ventilation hood system (Patent Pending UL710 Listed). The LBOX-AV comes with integrated blower and motor, meaning NO fans on the roof. Product installation has become even easier with all electrical penetrations being inside your truck / trailer, and requires no welding for installation. Each system comes with a factory mounted grease duct with side mounted louver - allowing for easy grease trap cleanings.

Some of the more key features of the LBOX-AV Low Box Concession Hood w/ Integrated Blower and Motor include the following:

• • Louver designed and tested to AMCA standards to help ensure that rainwater up to hurricane force winds are kept.
• • Integrated blower and motor means that there are no fans needed on the roof of your food truck or trailer. This also allows for all electrical tie-ins to be performed inside the truck or trailer itself.
• • Hanger Rails are used for mounting inside the trailer or truck, greatly reducing installation times and requiring no welding.
• • Full Stainless-Steel series ensure long-term, trouble-free operations year round.
• • 20” Tall Stainless-Steel grease filters allow for an improved, larger grease capture area.
• • A built-in 6” air gap meets / exceeds clearance to combustibles available with Zero Clearance Insulation.

The LBOX-AV comes in hood sizes ranging from 4’ 0” - 10’ 0”. 4’ 0” to 6’ 0” models require 1 blower motor, with 200 CFM minimum exhaust. The 7’ 0” - 10’ 0” models will require 2 blower motors, each with 200CFM minimum exhaust. All sizes exhaust systems come with a 7” front and a 24” back to accommodate the low ceiling height of food trucks and trailers. HoodMart provides the fastest lead times for shipping, and all of our LBOX-AVs come with or without pre-piped fire suppression from the factory. Pre-piped packages meet strict UL-300 fire test criteria for safe and reliable fire protection, and you can choose between KIDDE or ANSUL brand fire suppression systems.
