The great thing about fall is that you can get some great deals on used hot dog carts. Here is another one that just came up for sale.
If you know anything about hot dog carts, you know that Creative Mobile Systems makes one of the iconic carts in the industry – the super reliable Model 325.
Includes all this! The 325 is a towable stainless steel hot dog cart. This one comes with a wet steam table two 1/6 pans, three 1/3 pans (all with lids), and a 2/3 meat cooking pan over direct heat. This cart will do about 500 dogs /hour!
It also sports a large 26.5” X 21.5″ X 12″ cooler, a storage compartment below the steam table, a compartment for 200+ iced soft drinks, hot and cold water storage tanks, a 12 gal waste water tank, and 4 sinks.
Additionally it has napkin and wrap holders as well as a waste paper container. Bun storage for about 200 rolls, 2 propane tanks, and a cutting board.
The cart has an umbrella and is easy to load and tow.
Price: Asking $2600 ($5400 new, 5 years old)

A lot of us slingers aspire to owning a 325 someday. Maybe today is that day for you? Get in touch with Tom now because we all know that CMS 325’s don’t stay very long on the used market.
I have heard little about Knishes. I have been looking for a cart, that would have a drawer, where knishes could be warmed. Not steamed. Please give me some info on this. Thanks.
You would have to fabricate one. Most carts don’t have such a drawer.
someone approached me a few years back about having Knish on the cart… they were familiar with NYC vendors with the same… Said you would not steam them directly, rather use the steam table and place them in an empty pot with no water… Like heating slaw or kraut… fwiw
Thanks Tbone. I’ve not done knishes before so thanks for the tip!
I bought a used model 325 back in 2006 here in Tennessee. Over the years I have replaced burners. Once I had a frozen water line I replaced. Now in 2019 it is still going strong.
Does anyone have the cut sheet or spec sheet for this particular cart? We bought one used and cant get it anywhere due to them no longer being in business
