About Jet Company
Jet Company is as well-known for its ag trailers, such as
grain hoppers and poultry live-hauling trailers, as for its long-haul
drop-deck and
lowboy trailers. Based out of Humboldt, Iowa, Jet Company began in a farmer’s garage in 1952. By 1958, Jet Company was making post drivers and wire rollers that were offered in the Sears & Roebuck Catalog. More recently, Jet Company has focused on trailers, and has been a leader in steel grain hopper trailers since 1979.
Although trailers are Jet’s main business, some the company’s designs have made inroads into other markets, as well. In 1984, for example, Jet Company patented an Air Ride suspension for motor homes and RVs. The Air Ride suspension system became commonplace in Winnebago RVs, and Jet Company had to expand its production facilities to accommodate the demand as a result.
When it comes to trailer innovations, Jet Company was the first to introduce a single-axle flatbed specifically to haul field tile rolls. The company also had boat manufacturers in mind when it designed a drop-deck trailer that can transport several boats in one trip.
