Witness Our Precision
At Express Custom Trailers, we blend craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology to build exceptional custom trailers. From design to finishing, every step reflects our commitment to quality and durability.
Design
Whether you’re ordering your first custom trailer or fine-tuning your company’s model for the hundredth time, we dive deep into the engineering process to ensure your trailers meet your exact specifications.
Metal Cutting & Forming
All our trailers are crafted from 100% certified American-made steel tubing. We don’t use formed channel or z-members, as they simply can’t match the strength and durability of steel tubing. Our customers choose us for our unwavering commitment to building the strongest, most durable, and highest-quality trailers available. Additionally, we maintain a substantial inventory of raw materials, enabling us to stay agile and unaffected by supply chain disruptions.
Fabrication & Welding
Every trailer at Express is constructed to stringent quality standards honed over 35 years of continuous improvement. We use calibrated jigs to ensure consistency and precision, guaranteeing that all axles, crossmembers, and uprights are perfectly aligned every time. Our standard designs feature 16” on-center walls and 24” on-center crossmembers, but we can also customize crossmember spacing to 16” or 12” as needed for your specific project.
Skinning
Think about bending a credit card back and forth repeatedly—eventually, it cracks and tears. The same principle applies to your trailer as it flexes on the road. While many manufacturers use .024 skin for a nice appearance, this can lead to cracks within months. We mitigate this risk by using .030 skin as our standard, which is 25% thicker than what most manufacturers offer. Our commitment to quality extends to crisp, clean miter cuts, showcasing the craftsmanship of our skilled employees. Get close and admire the beauty of an Express trailer.
Finishing
Our dedication to quality is uncompromising. We scrutinize every detail—every bead of caulk, every weld, and every piece of trim is meticulously inspected by our Quality Department. We stand by our promise to build the highest-quality trailers on the market. As we remind our new team members, “One mistake on one of our trailers could jeopardize the 30 years of brand reputation we’ve built.”
Crafted for Durability. Transparent Quality.
We take immense pride in the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into every trailer we produce. Our most compelling endorsement? Seeing our trailers side-by-side with competitors. We understand that striving to be a jack of all trades often leads to mediocrity; that’s why we focus solely on our strength—creating commercial-grade, heavy-duty trailers designed for businesses nationwide. With us, you can trust you’re getting unparalleled quality built to withstand the demands of your operations.
