It was a poor and popular business. The most sold food was made of vegetables, bread and other flour-based food preparations, but also boiled and cooked dishes. The owner of the cart used to prepare the dishes at home or in a different location. At that time, selling food had no specific hygienic regulations and hawkers didn\u2019t need any permit.\r\n\r\n \r\n

\"vintage<\/a>\r\n \r\n\r\nBetween XIX and XX Century, food carts<\/strong> contributed a lot in shaping the collective imagination of life in small towns and big cities. At that time hosts of exultant children ran after the ice-cream carts<\/strong> and other carts artisanally made of wood that sold all sorts of typical and regional products.\r\n\r\n \r\n

\"old<\/a>\r\n \r\n\r\nFood cart and street food tradition in Sicily<\/strong> is one of the most consistent in Europe. We can only imagine the folklore there was in the narrow streets of Palermo full of small carts selling every kind of food: simple products like cobs, aubergines and other vegetables, octopus and sea urchins, bread and panelle (made with chickpeas flour), not to mention more elaborate dishes like sandwiches with spleen (panini ca meusa) and other garnishments (pani cunzatu), cakes and biscuits and, of course, slushes (granita).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

During XX Century the habit of eating in the streets lessened, but it never got completely lost. Vehicles with engine<\/strong> slowly replaced carts pulled by animals or by hand. Shops on wheels<\/strong> became popular to sell food in markets and in zones of aggregation and highly frequented areas. <\/p> \r\n\r\n

The expression \u201cstreet food\u201d is used everywhere in the world because the street food tradition as we know it today comes from the USA and only later arrived in Europe. With modern street food<\/strong>, artisanal shop on wheels were replaced by food trucks built by specialized companies<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In terms of design, materials and equipment, nowadays food trucks can be very profitable working tools with an extraordinary haestetic impact, to such an extent that also big brands and corporations are now using them for commercial and promotional goals. In these cases, they are called promo trucks<\/a> to underline the promotional purpose.<\/p>\r\n\r\n \r\n\"biraghi<\/a>\r\n \r\n

With this rebirth of street food and a renewed love for vintage items, it is no surprise that the hand-pushed cart makes a comeback in the modern version of the food cart.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  \r\n

VKart \u2013 the street food cart for awkers and corporations<\/h2>\r\n \r\n

In the last few years it happens quite often to see in front of different kind of shops an old wooden cart<\/strong> as a support in the exhibition of product and decorations.<\/p> \r\n\r\n

A small detail that shows the tendency of recovering old common items<\/strong> and integrating them into the working tools and communication.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The cart used to sell food on the street, the so-called food cart<\/em>, is another vintage element of unquestionable appeal that is getting popular again thanks to the success of street food.<\/p> \r\n\r\n

For this reason and to satisfy the requests of their clients, VS created and patented a VKart<\/strong>, a new generation food cart<\/strong> that recalls the design of the traditional carts, but with a more modern look and with an eye on the specific practical and communicative needs of the companies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The production of new hand carts satisfies the corporate need of having light and small placements to use in private contexts<\/strong>: stations, shopping malls, hotels, outlet villages, museums, resorts, ecc.<\/p>\r\n\r\nThe VKart can be customized exclusively for a single premium product:\r\n
