Brandt Trailers

Brandt built a new place in Sask to build the trailers. First year they had some issues but now they are pretty decent. They make small goosenecks and dump trailers as well.

 

Is that the same outfit out of Regina that builds railway eqpt?

 

Yup all different divisions of the same company. They own all Canadian JD construction equipment dealers, a lot of Ag JD dealers in Canada, New Zealand and Australia, and all Peterbilt dealers in sask and ontario. They also manufacture a bunch of ag equipment, railway. forestry, truck bodys and trailers, vac trucks, and construction attachments.
The head owner has that colossal mansion outside of Regina.

 

I worked on one of their Pete rail trucks on it's way to ATL. They had relocated DPF inside a cabinet on the bed with a small vent and it melted the harness and discolored the paint. While driver/salesman/field engineer waited for me to finish I let him use my pickup to run around town and get some lunch. They had decided to return unit to Canada to re-engineer the DPF cabinet. I went to leave work, and he had left me a bunch of swag, a nice winter coat/hat/shirt/coffee mug etc on the seat of my pickup.

 

Very nice to be appreciated.

 

Gerry's trailers looked similar to aspens because they were built by aspen and then rebranded before being sold by Gerry's.
