EWOF Inspections for Food Trailers & Mobile Units
If you operate a food trailer, food truck, or mobile food unit, a valid Electrical Warrant of Fitness (EWOF) is legally required in New Zealand. Our registered electricians provide EWOF inspections for food trailers and food trucks, ensuring your electrical system is safe, compliant, and approved for operation.
We work with food truck owners and mobile vendors to deliver fast, reliable compliance inspections.
