Picture this: A seasoned aerospace engineering manufacturer, with 23 years of experience crafting components that soar above the clouds, decides to bring his expertise down to earth. That’s the story behind Summit Trailer, a company that’s quietly revolutionizing the trailer industry in Oregon and across the nation.
“It’s not every day you see someone trade jet engines for trailer hitches,” chuckles Adam Pearson, head of Trailer Station USA. “But that’s exactly what Summit’s founder did, and boy, has it paid off for our customers.”
This unlikely career shift has birthed a line of trailers that’s turning heads from Portland to Spokane. Summit Trailer isn’t just another name in the crowded world of hauling and towing. It’s a brand that’s bringing aerospace precision to the gritty business of moving stuff from A to B.
Now, you might be wondering, what does rocket science have to do with hauling your excavator to the jobsite? Turns out, quite a bit.
“These guys treat every trailer like it’s going to space,” Pearson explains, a hint of awe in his voice. “They’re using materials you’d expect to find in a cockpit, not on a flatbed. And their quality control? Let’s just say they check every bolt like lives depend on it.”
This obsession with quality isn’t just for show. In a region where the weather can turn on a dime and the terrain is as varied as the craft beer selection, having a trailer you can trust isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity.
Take their lineup, for instance. From Summit Fixed Deck Trailers that could probably survive a lunar landing, to Full Tilt Trailers that make loading a breeze even on a steep Seattle hill, Summit’s got something for every hauling need under the Pacific Northwest sun (and rain, let’s be honest).
But it’s not just about brute strength. These trailers are smart, too. Heavy-duty tiltbed latches that could probably secure a spaceship door. LED lighting that cuts through fog like a lighthouse beacon. It’s clear that someone who’s used to thinking about aerodynamics and load distribution has put their mind to the humble trailer.
“I had a customer come in last week,” Pearson recalls, leaning in like he’s sharing a secret. “He’s been hauling equipment for 30 years. He takes one look at the Summit Trailer 7 x 18 10K Full Tilt and says, ‘Now that’s a trailer built by someone who gets it.’ And he’s right. These aren’t just trailers; they’re solutions to problems most of us didn’t even know we had.”
Let’s talk specifics. The Summit 7 x 18 10K Flatdeck Car Hauler trailer? It’s got a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating that’ll make your pickup truck jealous. The Summit 7 x 20 14K Split Deck Tilt Trailer? It’s like the Swiss Army knife of trailers – versatile doesn’t even begin to cover it.
And for those who think bigger is always better, the 6 x 12 Summit SA Utility Landscape Trailer proves that good things come in small packages. It’s the kind of trailer that makes you wonder how you ever managed without it.
“What really gets me,” Pearson muses, “is how they’ve managed to keep the prices down. You’d think with all this aerospace wizardry, these trailers would cost as much as a small plane. But nope. We’re talking anywhere from $2,700 to $13,500. That’s quality you can actually afford.”
Of course, a trailer is only as good as the dealer you get it from. That’s where Trailer Station USA comes in. With 10 trailer dealership locations sprinkled across Oregon and Washington like cherry blossoms in spring, they’ve made sure you’re never too far from your dream trailer.
“We’ve got more locations than some coffee chains around here,” Pearson jokes. “But seriously, we wanted to make sure that whether you’re a weekend warrior in Bend or a contractor in Tacoma, you’ve got easy access to these beautifully designed trailers by Summit Trailer.”
It’s not just about convenience, though. The folks at Trailer Station USA know these trailers inside and out. They can tell you the payload capacity of a Summit Denali Pro Equipment Trailer in their sleep. There are financing options that’ll make your wallet breathe a sigh of relief. And they’re as passionate about matching you with the right trailer as a sommelier is about pairing you with the perfect pinot noir. So what are you waiting for?
