Transportable wood-fired oven trailer

Abstract

The present invention relates to a transportable wood-fired oven trailer which is mountable to a towing vehicle, and can be modified in certain aspects between “transport” and “operational” modes. The trailer has increased manoeuvrability in particular when reversing and also increased stability due to the rearwardly offset wheel axle, and whose configuration also provides for increased storage and work space. It is envisaged that such trailers could be transported to public and social events and shows, and used to prepare wood-fired food.

1 . A transportable oven trailer including:
 an elongated frame releasably attachable to a towing vehicle;   a tray adapted to support an oven in a rear location of said tray, said tray being supported in part by said frame when attached to said towing vehicle and in part by an offset wheel axle assembly disposed proximate a rear of said tray, said offset wheel axle assembly adapted to facilitate support of said oven and manoeuvrability of said trailer and elongated frame thereof.   
     
     
         2 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 1  wherein said tray includes a floor and upstanding side, front and rear walls. 
     
     
         3 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 2  wherein said rear wall is moveable between open and closed positions to allow access to said oven. 
     
     
         4 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 2  wherein said trailer includes at least one horizontal work surface associated with each of said upstanding side walls. 
     
     
         5 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 4  wherein said at least one horizontal work surface is of a height to facilitate preparation of food thereon. 
     
     
         6 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 4  wherein said at least one horizontal work surface is in the form of a work board moveable between a first position in which said work board provide a work area above and along an upstanding side wall, and a second position in which said work board is disposed in an upright position for when the trailer is being transported. 
     
     
         7 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 1  wherein said oven is a heavy wood fired pizza oven. 
     
     
         8 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 7  wherein said oven weighs between 300 and 500 kilograms. 
     
     
         9 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 1  wherein said tray includes upstanding brackets located at corners of the oven for preventing forward and rearward movement thereof. 
     
     
         10 . A transportable building as in  claim 1  wherein said tray includes a heat resistant shield disposed forwards of the oven for providing a barrier between the oven and a storage area inside said tray. 
     
     
         11 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 1  further including an oven fuel storage compartment supported above the frame. 
     
     
         12 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 1  further including cooling containers for food storage located in the tray. 
     
     
         13 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 1  wherein said wheel axle assembly includes a single wheel axle and an associated suspension system. 
     
     
         14 . A transportable oven trailer as in  claim 1  further including a park brake for locking the position of said trailer. 
     
     
         15 . A transportable wood-fired oven trailer including:
 a tray including a floor, a front end and a rear end, and upstanding front, rear, and side walls, said rear wall being moveable between an open position in which the inside of said tray is accessible and a closed position, said tray including a wood-fired oven disposed at a rear end of said tray and including doors which are accessible from said rear end;   an elongated A-frame including a coupling at its apex adapted to be releasably attachable to a towing vehicle, said A-frame further configured to support said front end of said tray; and   an offset wheel axle disposed proximate the rear of the tray, said offset wheel axle adapted to support the rear end of said tray including the weight of the oven, and to facilitate manoeuvrability of the trailer.
