I have a food truck and I'm not sure which range hood to install.

Which range hood should you choose for a food truck?

The compact model with an ultra-short canopy

For a food truck, container, or basement with a ceiling height of less than 2.30 m, the “compact” range hood is the best choice. Thanks to its ultra-short hood, it provides excellent smoke extraction despite the limited headroom.

Recommended Installation Height

Install the hood between 1.30 m and 1.50 m above the floor to ensure optimal extraction without hindering operations in a confined space.

Motorization options

Depending on your setup, the motor can be:

• built directly into the hood, for a compact and easy-to-install system,

• or installed externally, in a motorized housing or a roof turret, to reduce noise and free up space inside the vehicle.

Practical Tips

• Check that the motor’s airflow is compatible with the food truck’s volume.

• Choose a quiet motor for a comfortable working environment and to ensure your customers’ comfort.

• Clean the filters regularly to prevent grease buildup.

Conclusion

The “compact” hood is the ideal solution for food trucks, containers, and small spaces.
