Cross Country Manufacturing

What Cross Country Manufacturing does

Cross Country Manufacturing is a privately held Canadian manufacturer of heavy-duty semi-trailers, headquartered in Morden, Manitoba. Founded in 2006, the company operates a start-to-finish in-house manufacturing process producing over 130 different trailer types across nine categories: Side Dumps (SDX), Belt Trailers (Live Bottom), End Dumps (Full Frame, Quarter Frame, Frameless, Pups/Pony Pups, Quad Wagon), Belly Dumps (Clamshell, Crossgate, Crossclam), Open Deck Trailers (Hydraulic Goose Neck, Hydraulic Tilt Deck, Rigid Neck, Jeeps, Tags/Recovery), Demolition/Scrap, Loggers, Truck Boxes, and Specialty trailers. Its core technical differentiators are precision-engineered chain, belt, and drive systems, the SDX side dump controlled dump action, and the use of premium-grade steels for durability in harsh North American conditions. In 2024, the company expanded the Live Bottom Belt line with a Truck-Mounted Live Bottom Belt Body.

The company sells exclusively through an authorized North American dealer network, supported by a dealer portal, warranty registration, parts, and service programs. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Its primary customer segments are construction and aggregate haulers (asphalt, aggregate), followed by heavy equipment transport, demolition and scrap, and logging. End customers are commercial fleet operators rather than individual buyers, with the dealer network serving as the primary commercial interface. Marketing combines traditional dealer-driven sales with a multi-channel digital presence across website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and email newsletter. The company has 51–100 employees and has not disclosed revenue, funding, or ownership structure.
