### Get your quote
Your answers above are already included. Add your details and we will come back to you with a quote for this system.
Indicative only. Prices exclude GST and are a starting point, not a quote. A needs analysis and formal quote is required before purchase.
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.
