Palmer Trucks is partnering with Extreme Trailers to provide customers of Terre Haute, Ind. And Effingham, Ill. with premium, flatbed trailer options, according to an announcement yesterday.
Extreme Trailers, established in 2016 with manufacturing in Dover, Ohio, provides aluminum trailers for commercial trucks. The introduction of Extreme Trailers’ premium trailers to Palmer Trucks’ portfolio strongly correlates with the Kenworth brand, thus providing a seamless pairing for long-term return-on-investment, the companies say.
Palmer Trucks President Scott Nichols says, “We are excited to partner with Extreme Trailers. As a family-owned business, they culturally complement Palmer Trucks. Quality, specialization and lightweight-construction are attributes that we see in the Extreme product line, which satisfy the needs and expectations of our Kenworth customers.”
With exponential expansion since 2016, Extreme Trailers has taken a position in the marketplace with innovative patents both awarded and pending. The flatbed trailers now offered through Palmer Trucks feature easy-access brake and electrical systems, all-aluminum construction, Jost landing gear and standard Meritor brake equipment. The patented C-channel aluminum decking boosts durability and load capacity, while the lightweight design reduces tare weight by 1,000 to 1,800 lb., depending upon the model, Palmer trucks says.
Palmer Trucks sales representatives are now actively referring Extreme Trailers inquiries to its Terre Haute and Effingham stores. Interested parties can soon find more information on the Palmer Trucks website, Extreme Trailers website, as well as, a floor model at Kenworth of Indianapolis.
