Push Carts & Small Food Karts

Everyone has seen a food kart knocked together from angle iron and a sheet of ply. This is the same idea built the way a commercial kitchen is built: a welded steel frame, SS-304 everywhere food touches, a glass display that keeps dust off the samosas, and castors that actually brake.

It is the smallest thing we make and the one that changes a business the fastest — because the moment your kart looks trustworthy, you can charge what the food is worth.

From ₹35,000 Starting price. Every build is quoted to your exact spec — tell us what you need and we will send a costed proposal within 48 hours.

Typical range: ₹35,000 (basic) – ₹90,000 (full stainless, branded)

Good to know

Questions we get about this build.

Vending Carts is the umbrella — it covers push and electric together. This page is specifically the hand-push kart: no battery, no motor, the lowest price we build to. If you want the powered version, look at Vending Carts or E-Rickshaw Food Carts.

Yes. At 70–140 kg on braked castors it rolls on flat ground with one person. If your pitch involves a kerb or a ramp every day, tell us and we size the wheels for it.

No vehicle registration, because it is not a vehicle. What you do need is your local municipal vending licence and an FSSAI registration — we supply the build drawings and material specs for both.
