Barrett Trailers LLC

What Barrett Trailers LLC does

Barrett Trailers LLC is a US manufacturer of lightweight, all-aluminum livestock trailers, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Purcell, Oklahoma. The company was acquired in July 2020 by King Country Trailer (Amarillo, TX) after being shuttered during the pandemic, and currently operates as a privately held LLC under strategic operating-company ownership. Barrett designs, hand-welds, and custom-builds three core product platforms — Semi-Trailers (53ft, Hendrickson Intraax suspension), Ground Load trailers (48–53ft), and Gooseneck trailers (multiple sub-models in 7–8ft widths) — with livestock-specific configurations for cattle, hogs, and horses, plus a full parts, repair, and DOT inspection service department and commercial financing. Core technical differentiation comes from proprietary formed aluminum fenders, cast aluminum front/rear corners, slip-resistant 5-bar aluminum tread plate flooring, and integrated Hendrickson Intraax suspension; construction is hand-built to order in Purcell with extensive customization on gates, ramps, ventilation, and winter kits.

The company sells primarily through a network of 15+ authorized dealers across key US livestock states (Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, Minnesota, Kentucky, North Carolina, Colorado, Kansas, Iowa) and through an exclusive Canadian partnership with Fort Garry Industries covering Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. Direct sales are handled from the Purcell headquarters for custom and out-of-territory buyers. Pricing is custom quote-based (no public price list), with revenue streams from hardware sales, parts and service, and commercial financing arrangements. The customer base is segmented across ranchers and livestock producers, rodeo and show professionals (brand-endorsed by JB Mauney), commercial livestock haulers, and small family ranch operations, with the company marketing itself as 'built by truckers for truckers' and emphasizing durability, corrosion resistance, livestock safety, and customization.
