We Built Them First.
We Build Them to Last®.

Advanced Manufacturing

There is only one standard at Utility — excellence. This is why Utility is The Reliable Choice®.

Quality built into each trailer begins with an idea. Then that idea gets designed and tested, re-designed and re-tested until it is proven. Then and only then do we put it into production. This is how we stand firm in our belief that a Utility trailer performs to a higher level of dependability and performance.

Breakthroughs

Innovation means nothing unless it leads to trailers that perform better and provide more value for the customer. Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company has a history of firsts that have benefited our customers day in and day out. We pursue technologies and test them on our test track in order to make our trailers, lighter, stronger and better. When you take a closer look, you and your business will appreciate the effort we make to create the real Utility difference.

Utility Stewardship

Privately owned and family run, our priority is to build a better company for future generations, including our employees. This ideal goes beyond simply making better trailers.
