For flatbeds, dry vans, reefers, electronic vans, and more, Dorsey trailers offers sturdy, reliable trailers that truckers can trust with their most important cargo. Since 1911, this company has been producing some of the most popular and reliable trailers on the market. Currently, the company’s wide selection of products will satisfy even the most conscientious owner-operators.
For drivers driving dry van trailers, Dorsey’s products are both stylish and structurally sound. Six inch white aluminum radius corners decrease several trailers’ weights, in addition to increasing their stylish appearance. Corners are strengthened by stringent reinforcements, and additional posts and equipment insure the durability of the product. Additionally, the “Dorsey exclusive” pick-up angle allows for an easy and safe latch-on to the tractor.
But more than dry van owners will be impressed by Dorsey Trailers. Reefer owner-operators will appreciate the Dorsey Liteguard, with its innovative design that reduces weight, improves insulation, and reduces leakage. Intended to improve upkeep and decrease maintenance costs, these trailers are called the strongest in the industry by the company’s web site. With specially designed reinforcement and ventilation, the product also comes standard with theft-reduction technology.
Although these are just two of the products offered by Dorsey Trailers, their excellence in appearance, durability, and features speaks to the product line. Truckers can be sure that their cargo will arrive at its destination safely with Dorsey, and they can give this same assurance to their clients.
