No load is too big or too small.
At Trail King Industries, the company’s specialized trailers range from massive configurations built for towering, delicate components to multi-axle lowboys that lead with brute strength. If a standard configuration doesn’t exist, team engineers can develop one from scratch to meet personalized needs.
Headquartered in Mitchell, South Dakota, the company is the leading manufacturer of a complete line of trailers, which serve a wide variety of applications for markets as diverse as construction, commercial hauling, agriculture, waste and recycling, and specialized transport industries. Over the years, Trail King has built a reputation for quality, reliability and performance that is unsurpassed.
“Our focus is on producing a solution to your hauling needs, not just a trailer,” said Ty Hanten, vice president of sales and marketing. “We have built quality and performance into the process from start to finish and are constantly improving and updating our products based on feedback from our loyal customers and real-world testing.”
Hanten said the company, which recently unveiled three new automatic kingpin steering trailers, is continually working to deliver solutions that improve maneuverability, expand capabilities and move the industry forward.
Of the three new trailers, the TK110HD-S leads the lineup with a 9-foot-wide, 53-foot-long frame and an automatic kingpin steering system, which delivers up to a 40% steering angle. Its flexible axle and deck configurations offer modular components to support a wide range of hauling applications. The TK160HDG-S incorporates kingpin steering into a traditional 13-axle configuration and offers customizable options for complex hauling needs. The TK130HES-S features an extendable mono-beam deck and six steerable axles, which provide added versatility and precise load control.
Hanten said each one of the three new trailers was developed in collaboration with heavy haul operators and designed to perform in tight job sites, restrictive routes and demanding environments. Built in-house with high-quality North American components, Trail King trailers deliver long-term reliability and simplified service and support for clients.
“Today’s buyers are looking for lightweight, maximum payload, steering capabilities and versatility,” Hanten said. “Our trailers are designed to turn the impossible hauls into possible hauls, such as giant wind turbine towers and blades, as well as specialized perimeter frames that can hydraulically expand in width from 12 to 20 feet for hauling wide infrastructure. Ultra-low deck heights, which sit as low as 14 inches, help operators safely clear low bridges and tight overhead obstacles.”
Hanten said the company builds all its trailers with heavy-duty box-beam decks and finishes them with a durable, zinc-rich primer paint process to fight rust and wear in harsh environments. Lead times for samples, prototypes and full production vary due to the specific design and complexity of the trailer based on the hauler’s personalized hauling needs. Haulers, in fact, can customize the exact geometry of their trailer’s deck to match their target cargo.
