Lighter Weight Magnolia Trailers in Mississippi Keep Up With Demand

In response to user-demands, Magnolia Trailers in Lucedale, Mississippi now produces lighter weight trailers.

Weight savings are one of the biggest factors when it comes to selecting the right trailer for an operation. That is why a year and a half ago, Magnolia Trailers decided to use a different steel for its biggest sellers. The result is a lighter weight trailer, which provides the operator with better fuel economy.

“Mills want to haul more payload, that's what it all comes down to,” says Magnolia Trailers salesman, Larry Williamson.

The effect of switching to lighter weight steel has been positive, and the company reports it has been busier than it has ever been.

“We are meeting the needs of the logging industry in the Eastern United States. We make trailers to fit the needs of logs in each region,” says Williamson.

Magnolia Trailers is a family-owned company and has been in business since 1993. Since that time, it has grown to employ 17 people. The company builds a variety of log and other equipment trailers used in the pipeline, construction, and agricultural industries. 

The biggest Magnolia seller is its four bolster trailer with a 4” center drop. This trailer is 40-feet long with 18” main frames. Winches are included with cables or straps, lights are D.O.T. approved, and the trailer itself is available in the customer’s choice of color.

For those looking for something unique to their needs, Magnolia Trailers also builds entire custom trailers to meet customer specifications. Magnolia Trailers also offers several financing options to meet anyone's needs.
