Craftsmen Utility Trailer, a Utility trailer dealership, has completed development its new facility in Davenport, Iowa.
The Davenport facility is located on 14 acres of land, near two truck stops and several truck dealers with space for trailer parking. The lot can accommodate 300 trailers and showcases new and used Utility 3000R reefers, 4000D-X Composite, 4000AE Combo Flatbeds and other specialty trailers.

“We acquired this location in 2015 to better serve our customers,” said Lou Helmsing, president of Craftsmen Utility Trailer. “The facility that we were leasing from the prior owner was very small and did not allow any room for growth, so we decided to build a new facility that would offer a much-improved experience for our customers.”
The 22,500-square foot facility includes a driver’s waiting room, a 4,000-square-foot parts warehouse and showroom, and a service center with 12 service bays.
“Our service department is open on two shifts, offering both Express Service and Mobile Service. Our fleet of fully-equipped service trucks is ready to provide emergency road service and on-site repair,” said Helmsing.
