What Premium Supply does

Premium Supply LLC is a Greenville, Texas-based hydraulics specialist that distributes custom trailer hoists, hydraulic kits, pumps, controls, and related accessories primarily to dump trailer manufacturers, OEMs, and end-user trailer owners in the United States. Founded in 2007 and acquired by DexKo Global Inc. (operating as Dexter) on April 13, 2022, the company operates as an e-commerce-first business through its Shopify-hosted premium-supply.com storefront, supplemented by phone-based volume pricing for commercial buyers. Its product portfolio centers on the proprietary POWER HOIST scissor-lift line (models PH310 through PH630) complemented by third-party representations including KTI Hydraulic pumps (3–13 quart, 12V/24V), PulseTech battery maintenance systems, and a broad range of hydraulic cylinders (welded/PCC, tie-rod/PCT, cross-tube/PCW), telescopic cylinder kits, direct push kits, hydraulic trailer jacks (12K capacity), tilt deck kits, and gas-powered hydraulic power units.

Revenue mechanics are based on unit hardware sales at fixed list prices ranging from approximately $138 for entry-level battery chargers to over $5,342 for top-tier power hoists, with volume pricing negotiated via phone (903.455.7777) and free economy shipping on online orders over $100 in the Lower 48 US states. The company targets three primary use-case segments: dump trailer manufacturers and operators requiring hydraulic lifting systems, trailer OEMs and aftermarket buyers seeking hydraulic jack systems, and trailer fleet operators needing battery maintenance solutions. Distribution is direct via e-commerce and phone; geographic scope is effectively the Lower 48 US states (Hawaii and Alaska excluded), though industry positioning references US and Canada market reach via its parent's footprint. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, consistent with a focused specialty distributor rather than a scaled manufacturer.

Since the DexKo acquisition, Premium Supply operates as "Premium Supply | Dexter Hydraulics," embedding the brand into a diversified trailer-component group (Dexter, founded 1960, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana) that serves utility trailers, RVs, marine, heavy-duty, and agricultural markets with 18 manufacturing facilities and 30+ distribution locations across the US and Canada. Operational status remains active; the company continues to ship from its single Greenville, TX warehouse.

Direct peers

• Demco: Demco manufactures towing, trailer, and agricultural equipment including hitches, jacks, and hydraulic components. Comparable to Premium Supply in its focus on trailer OEM and aftermarket channels, with overlapping product categories in trailer jacks and lifting equipment.
• etrailer.com: etrailer.com is a large direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer specializing in trailer parts, hitches, jacks, and accessories. It is the most direct comparable to Premium Supply given the shared e-commerce distribution model, trailer component focus, and direct sales to trailer owners and manufacturers.
• CURT Manufacturing: CURT Manufacturing is a major trailer component manufacturer and distributor offering hitches, jacks, couplers, and trailer accessories. Comparable to Premium Supply because it supplies trailer OEMs and the aftermarket with branded hardware and serves the same end-user customer base across multiple trailer categories.
• Tie Down Engineering: Tie Down Engineering manufactures and distributes trailer components, tie-downs, jacks, and braking systems for the trailer industry. Comparable to Premium Supply because it serves trailer manufacturers with engineered hardware and competes in adjacent lifting and support equipment categories.
• Buyers Products: Buyers Products manufactures and distributes a broad line of trailer and truck equipment, including dump body hardware, hoist systems, and hydraulic components. It is comparable to Premium Supply because it serves similar trailer OEM and aftermarket customers with overlapping hydraulic and dump truck accessory products.

Broad incumbents

• Grainger: Grainger is a large industrial distributor offering hydraulic pumps, cylinders, valves, and related equipment through a national catalog and e-commerce platform. Comparable to Premium Supply at the wholesale-distribution layer for industrial hydraulic products, though Grainger serves a much broader customer base across many industries beyond trailers.
• Northern Tool + Equipment: Northern Tool + Equipment is a multi-channel retailer (catalog, online, brick-and-mortar) selling hydraulic equipment, trailer components, pumps, and industrial tools. Comparable to Premium Supply as an established, broad-line distributor serving contractors and trailer owners with hydraulic and trailer-related products, but with far greater scale and product breadth.
• MSC Industrial: MSC Industrial is a large industrial distributor of metalworking, fluid power, and material handling products to businesses. Comparable to Premium Supply at the wholesale-distribution layer, with overlap in hydraulic and fluid power product categories, but serving a vastly broader industrial customer base.

Regional players

• Princess Auto: Princess Auto is a Canadian-based retailer of hydraulic equipment, trailer parts, tools, and industrial supplies through retail stores and e-commerce. Comparable to Premium Supply in business model (specialty e-commerce + retail for hydraulics and trailer gear), but it primarily serves the Canadian market while Premium Supply is US-focused.

Others

• KTI Hydraulics: KTI Hydraulics manufactures hydraulic power units, pumps, and accessories used in dump trailer and mobile hydraulic applications. Comparable to Premium Supply as a supplier-partner (KTI products are sold by Premium Supply) and as an upstream manufacturer in the same product category — making it a partner and adjacent competitor rather than a direct sales competitor.
