Custom-engineered. Backed nationwide.

More than a battery. The modern food truck standard.

Stop fuel costs eating your profits

At $3.50+/hour, a generator running 10 hours a day, 3 days a week costs $5,460+ annually in fuel alone.

End maintenance and downtime

Oil changes, spark plugs, fuel filters will set you back $800–$1,500 a year, always at the worst moment.

Less noise means better gigs

Indoor venues, corporate events and markets increasingly ban generators outright.

Fumes don’t belong near food

Exhaust near food preparation is a health and reputational risk.

Generators can’t handle the heat

Running all day in the Australian climate risks overheating and breakdown.

Real businesses. Real savings.

Every dollar on fuel is money that should be in your pocket

One of our customers running an ice cream van and trading three days a week, ten hours a day, switched to Coolabah and now saves $9,000+ a year - with zero noise, zero fumes and no generator to refuel.
