Eagle Trailer

What Eagle Trailer does

Eagle Trailer Company is a privately held designer and manufacturer of bumper pull, gooseneck, and fifth-wheel trailers headquartered in Lawrence, Kansas. Founded in 1983 and incorporated in 1987, the company produces five primary product lines — Enclosed, Flatbed, Utility, Low Profile, and Custom trailers — with gross vehicle weight ratings from 2,000# to 30,000#, serving individual buyers, rental companies, and energy-sector clients primarily in the Midwestern United States. All production is completed in-house at the Lawrence facility under AWS 14.3 welding standards and NACE WJ-3 corrosion prevention, using Lincoln Electric SuperArc L-56 wire, DuPont epoxy primer and polyurethane paint, and an in-house AutoCAD/Inventor design department. The company is a member of the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) and the American Welding Society (AWS), and acts as a dealer for Lamar Trailers and a distributor for Bighorn enclosed trailers.

The business operates across three revenue streams: hardware sales (manufactured trailers plus distributed Lamar and Bighorn products), service and repair (including U.S. D.O.T. certified annual inspections on Class 1-8 trucks and trailers), and parts and steel retail (axles, brakes, couplers, and raw steel inventory such as channel iron, angle iron, plate, and tube). Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, and sales are conducted via phone (1-800-841-3237) and in-person visits at the Lawrence facility, supplemented by inbound from a website, Yelp listings, and organic social media (Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube). Warranty terms include a 3-year structural warranty on Eagle and low-profile trailers and a 3-year limited structural warranty on Bighorn products, with same-day repair available on most services.

Eagle Trailer is an independently owned small business with 11-50 employees, no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public listing. Geographic scope is regional — limited to the Midwestern USA — and the company has no app, no API platform, and no disclosed software or AI integrations. Operational scale is constrained to a single manufacturing location; outsourcing covers only laser and fiber plasma parts production. Long-tenured design and technical staff, combined with iterative improvements informed by thousands of in-house repairs, support a custom-build capability that distinguishes the company from pure catalogue competitors.
