40 Years and Still Rolling Strong

Ever since Western Trailers built what was quite possibly the first aluminum cattle trailer in the West back in 1969, our reputation has been built on quality, innovation and service. As we expanded into outside-frame flatbeds and grain hopper trailers, we made it our business to thoroughly understand the delicate balance between payload and profit. Along the way, the idea that "light weight pays" has become our guiding philosophy. It's made us one of the nation's leading trailer manufacturers, and given our products the highest resale value of any trailer on the road today.

It's All About Your Bottom Line

In the last few years, the price of fuel has become the number one contender for higher operating costs. Western's one-two punch will help you knock these costs back down. Our lightweight trailers are tough enough to let you haul bigger loads for the same fuel costs, and our variety of innovative self-unloading features mean you can haul more loads faster. At Western Trailers we care about your profits and we work hard to make them better!

Growing Pains Bring Gains

Western Trailer's innovative design work has always been enhanced by high quality workmanship. That means hiring top-notch people and keeping up with the latest evolution in equipment. In 1999 we built an ultra-modern, 100,000 square foot manufacturing plant at our Boise operations hub where we can produce more than 1,200 trailers each year. We kept some of our original Cincinatti Presses in use because they're still top-of-the-line, and we added several CNC-controlled machines, like post and panel punch presses and side panel presses, to ensure an even better fit and finish to our trailers. By 2005, demand for the lightest and most durable trailers on the road drove us to another expansion of 23,000 square feet, allowing us to grow our new product research and development capabilities.

Shop Talk

Our reputation for always listening to customers' needs and coming up with innovative solutions dates back to our begining in 1959. Today, we still stand by that reputation, we continue to build top quality into every trailer using top-notch components and first class craftsmanship.

We consistently re-engineer designs to permit larger payloads and two way hauling. And we're continuing to make changes to our product line, increasing reliabilty while trimming weight.

Nobody knows your hauling needs better than you.
