Semitrailer Niche Types

Some niche types of semitrailers include coil trailers for transporting one or more spools of steel cable, as well as pipe trailers with carousels for flexible piping. Manufacturers in this segment include Peerless, Pratt, and Rogers.

Certain dry van-type and drop frame van trailers are converted into office trailers or job shacks for management on a construction site. Others serve as mobile headquarters for emergency response, blood donation drives, or electronic news gathering. Dorsey, Fruehauf, Great Dane, Stewart & Stevenson, and many other manufacturers’ trailers have been converted to mobile offices, often with generators, air conditioning, a restroom, and other amenities. Some models serve as dedicated, multi-restroom trailers for on-location events.

Salt spreaders, sand spreaders, and gritter trailers make icy roads safer to drive on. Fertilizer tenders like the ones from Hays-LTI transport fertilizer to farmers to spread in their fields. Farmers and ranchers may also call upon rendering trailers to haul away components of animal carcasses such as offal, tallow, and meat that isn’t fit for human consumption. Rendering trailers are made by Artex, East Manufacturing, Travis, Warren Equipment, and others.

Self-propelled carriers from Big John Trailers, Jewell, and other trailer manufacturers are handy for various tasks in equipment yards and the logging industry. Boom launch trailers from ASVE, Nelson Manufacturing, and others transport detached crane booms to work sites. Most can hydraulically help attach the boom to the body of the crane without the need for an assist crane.
