Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co., a leading manufacturer of dry freight vans, flatbeds, refrigerated vans and Tautliner curtainsided trailers, is celebrating its 90th year as America’s oldest, continuously operated trailer manufacturer.
Founded in 1914 by brothers E.W. and H.C. Bennett, Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co. first started building trailers around the time Henry Ford introduced the assembly line.
"From the beginning our business has been building trailers, and we still embrace the values and vision expressed by E.W. and H.C. in the early 20th century as we conduct business in the early 21st century," said Craig Bennett, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Utility Trailer. "While we have grown to over 3,000 employees and have five plants around the country, our focus and those initial ideals have remained the cornerstone of how we conduct business each day."
"Among the enhancements we’re announcing this year is our 3000D with our new Wide Track System, which offers increased fuel economy, weight savings and increased stability that enhance the overall performance of the trailer", said Bennett. "In addition we’re introducing the new 3000D-X Herculiner, which builds upon the innovative features of the 3000D-X to offer greater productivity, versatility and durability than before.
