WHY NOT “JUST” THE BEST HOT DOG CART
I get asked, “Ben, why do you sell other models if the Big Dog is the World’s Best Hot Dog Cart?”
It’s a great question.
But the truth is… you can’t be everything to everybody. And neither can the world’s best hot dog cart – be everything to everybody.
But if you like, I go into more depth here. It’s a short video on the how to determine which cart is right for you.
Standard Features
TRAILER / TIRES
The cart rests on a D.O.T. Highway approved heavy duty trailer (title included) with baked enamel finish. Bolted and welded construction allows for a super strong structure and will give you many years of use. The leaf spring suspension system allows you to tow it safely at freeway speeds. The tires are standard size 4.8″ x 8″.
POWER SOURCE
Dual commercial steam tables with twin commercial burners powered by LP Propane Gas. Individual flow control knobs for each burner are standard and allow you to cook more evenly. Burners are lined with holes for even heating and wind resistance. BensCarts uses the best equipment on the market to ensure faithful service from your cart. Enclosed and under the bread box is a hidden storage area for two full size 20# propane tanks. Many states require you have two propane tanks in case you run out of gas in one, you have a back up. No exposed tanks makes for a safer cart and a professional appearance. A single gas line runs from the burners to the propane storage area and allows you to hook up one tank. A commercial high end LP regulator is included with an easy twist on/off connection.
STEAM TABLE
The steam table can accommodate various size pans with lids. You can use the steamer for hot dogs, buns, chili, cheese, sauerkraut and more. Comes standard with two full sized steam tables which includes; 2 Spillage Pans – One half size perforated pan for steaming, two 1/4th size pans for heating cheese or chili, Three 1/3rd size direct heat pans for boiling or cooking. Includes all lids. All pans and lids are carry the NSF mark. LEARN ALL ABOUT STEAM TABLES
INSULATION AND VENTING
BensCarts does something no one else will invest in: All carts have triple insulated fireboxes with front rail venting. There will always be heat transference but by investing in a triple heat shield, BensCarts hot dog carts direct the extra heat away from the cart body and cooler area thus saving you money on ice and keeping your cart exterior cooler to the touch.
SINKS AND WATER SYSTEM
The cart comes standard with 4 stainless steel sinks with a hot and cold pressurized water system with no clog drains, a 5 gallon clear water tank and a 7.5 gallon tank for waste water. You can select 1, 2, 3 or 4 sinks at no additional cost during checkout. Sinks are approx. 5”X 6” and 4” deep. Water system, including all fittings and copper and PEX lines are NSF certified. Choosing less sinks will enlarge sinks at no additional cost (for sizes click buy now button). Waste water tank is fixed under the cart body and out of view. It includes a valve for easy draining and comes standard with back flow prevention. Pressure is supplied by the commercial 12v pump. (battery not included) Hot water is supplied via the on-board / on-demand instant hot water heater. For details click here.
TOW BAR
BensCarts sets itself apart by going above and beyond with this fully removable tow bar with a D.O.T. approved 1 7/8″ ball coupler and two safety chains. Simply unbolt and remove the tow bar and stow away underneath the cart. This allows you to store your cart in smaller areas. Includes tag frame. Video – Learning All About Towing and Trailer Hook Up
WHEEL LEVELING JACK
A metal wheel leveling jack is included so that you prop up the front end of the cart. Optional 3rd wheel at a discount during checkout.
PRESSURIZED WATER SYSTEM
With your 12v. lawnmower or motorcycle battery you can power the included pump that will give you pressurized water. This on demand pump knows when you open the faucet and comes on.
PREP AND SERVING AREA
You will love the extra space on the Big Dog Hot Dog Cart. To the right of the steam tables is an area for all your prep and serving needs. You can use a condiment caddy (see pro pak in the BensCarts store) or place whatever you need here for serving.
MEAT/BEVERAGE COOLER
This FDA Ch. 4 fully insulated cooler has a hinged lid for easy access. It is rated to hold ice for up to 5 days in 90 degree temperatures. Most vendors don’t use this cooler for drinks and store extra dogs and condiments here. You will always need a large cooler for drinks, my freestanding cooler holds 300 drinks.
LIGHTS
As a D.O.T. approved trailer, our carts include stop, turn and tail lights. Wiring harness includes a standard 4 wire flat connection.
BREAD BOX STORAGE
Holding up to 15 bags of 12ct buns and other necessities like napkins, foil and dry condiments. It is solid stainless steel and includes a shelf for a more organized system. Instead of using plexiglass doors, BensCarts upgrades all doors to stainless steel for free, which allows you to keep your supplies hidden from customers view. Plexiglass fades and yellows over time getting these fine hairline cracks and streaks that can make your cart look nasty and old. Stainless steel doors allow for a professional look years from now. Each cart is equipped with two doors for easy access from either side of the cart.
STOW CASE
Below the bread box, depending on how many propane tanks you have is extra storage space accessible from either side of the cart.
UMBRELLA
The huge 9 ft. market umbrella is huge. Allowing for some shade on those hot days. It stands out like nicely for visibility. The umbrella is fabric and its structure is metal to hold up to moderate wind and use. Comes in Red and Yellow. See picture on our facebook page or click buy now to see ordering options.

Hi Mark, thanks for the review and I want to clarify something. I’ve done some videos on this previously and some articles on the free training site, but 100% of steel comes from China. Much comes through Canada, but still from China. Every wheel bearing in the US is made in China, all cars, planes, trucks, trailers etc… Our base trailer comes from China. We then modify, weld and build the cart from the ground up from there. Essentially the only thing “made in china” is the axle and wheel bearings”.
Even your “made in the USA” trailers… are parts from China. Assembled here. 94% of our carts are made right here in our shop. Of course the videos online of the manufacturing and building of our carts and even customer videos inside our shop would be enough for most to realize, our carts are made here.. in TN, USA. I wish you’d of found those before making such a statement.
Mark Cooper –
Overall great cart with the following exceptions.
1) While you do a great job modifying and Customizing the carts, No where on or in the cart does it say made in USA or by Ben’s Carts. It is made in China (as are almost all the hot dog carts sold on most sites) People should note that if this cart was totally made here it would cost a great deal more, so you are providing a fair prices cart in today’s market the best way you can .
I have no problem with this as it is a great cart, however you have said “We make our carts” and thus I feel let down by an otherwise great company.
I know you had to hire more help at this time of year due to high sales and any misunderstanding on shipping was caused on my end with the finance company and am sorry for the headache this caused.
Also prompt customer service by the whole team.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 based on fact that I feel I was lead to believe it was fully made by Ben’s Carts. Other wise it is a 5 out of 5 star.
Daniel Roane –
Only issue I had was with shipping. My street is narrow so it was delayed. It must have gotten damaged while waiting. The bread box is dented and umbrella is damaged. Other than that I love it all. Should be past hd after friday and I can make you proud.
Joseph Simpson –
My health dept took longer to review & okay the plans for my cart then Ben took to get it to me on the other side if the country.
I past my health insoection with 0 infractions first time.
Damn near impossible in this town.
The health inspector said, “This is the coolest cart I’ve seen. I wish my job was always this easy.”
We cleared $200 in 2 hours on our first night on the downtown bar sceen. The Big Dog was great. The cart itself drew a crowd of lookie-loos and most bought at least a dog.
Now that I have secured a prime spot accross from the courthouse, me and my Big Dog are ready for the big time!
Ben’s training videos greatly helped me prepare for the business of selling dogs and making money.

Jey Espinosa –
I bought my big dog cart a about a year n half ago and when I did it cost a lot more and it also had that hot water heater inside the bread box instead of the the hot water copper lines over the burners which I would of preferred a lot better than that LP water heater. When I received the cart I ordered it with the rear cooler holder and it arrived and well the small details of maybe grinding down the edges so you don’t rip your hands or legs apart if you happen to walk by or grab it wrong would of been nice to have that done.It just seemed like I got sent the leftover crappy cart because a lot of small details weren’t taken care of…Maybe I just got the small end of the stick when It came to my order. I’m not trying to bash Ben’s cart but i honestly wasn’t happy. Now I’m looking to sell my cart and now I cant sell it close to what I paid because he lowered the price on that particular cart.
Mark Patun –
Just want to say I love the Big Dog Cart. Bought the cart just a few weeks ago and everything is working great. Ben and Keith were very helpfull. Have a few more weeks left to sell before the snow starts flying. And looking forward to next Spring. Thanks Ben!!!!
David Street –
After ordering the Big Dog Cart we had a few issues with parts missing. That was the bad part, the good part was the way Ben handled the issue. He didn’t hesitate to send us the parts and was very professional in solving our issues. We are still working through an issue with the city of Boise to get our final papers but the cart seems to function well and looks great! We’re ready to get this project going…
Randall Fox –
I first want to say, I was in the sales game for MANY years. So I am well acquainted with all the typical sales tactics out there. Ben and Keith are NOT what you would expect in a salesman. There was NEVER any pressure, not 1 question unanswered. They have been more than available throughout the process and to be quite honest, some of the nicest folks I have had the pleasure to do business with !! As busy as they truly are, they have and continue to be right there when I am lost to answer even the silliest of questions !! Ben and Keith, kudos to YOU !! Foxy’s Franks thanks you so very much for being men of integrity and for truly loving to help others like myself who have a dream. I can tell in my heart that you guys truly DO want to see everyone become successful !! You ROCK !!! m/

I ordered my Big Dog Cart the first part of June and drove to Tennessee to pick it up a couple of weeks later. I pulled my cart over 400 miles just to get it home and it handled every mile with ease.
I must say that when I met with Keith, he was great and walked me through and around the cart to make sure I knew what to expect and how to opperate things.
There was a slight mixup on the order but it worked out to my advantage and I got a couple of upgrades at no extra cost. Thanks guys!
You guys were great all the way through the process and I have to say, although I have yet to find that “Sweet Location”, I have been having a ball trying. Everyone here seems to love the idea and I have gotten great support from the community and met some great people already and I’m only in my first month.
Maureen Jones –
This is the perfect cart. It holds enough to serve big events in a small place, or the smaller events also. It is well manufactured, and easy to use. The cooler on the cart is large and easy to drain. But the best part of dealing with Ben’s Carts is Ben. No question is gone unanswered. He is willing to help anyway he can, and gives you a fair deal. Mo Dogs from Albuquerque, is very happy with my purchase from Ben’s Carts
