Utility Trailer Snapshot
Utility Trailer Manufacturing likes to play it cool. The company is one of the largest manufacturers of refrigerated trailers (aka reefers) in the US. The company also produces dry freight trailers, flatbeds, and its branded Tautliners curtain-sided trailers. Its refrigerated trucks include special designs for the whole food distribution and fast-food markets, such as trucks with separate chambers for frozen and dry goods. A handful of factories in the US makes its trailers and vans, which are distributed through a network of 100 independent dealers dotting North and South America. Two brothers, H.C. and E.W. Bennett, founded the company in 1914. The privately held company is family operated.
