Agricultural trailer manufacturers are adding smart technology integration and enhanced load capacities. One notable innovation comes from Sioux City Tarp, which now offers smartphone app control for electric tarp systems. The My Roll Tarp app connects via Bluetooth and operates tarps from up to 150 feet away, addressing a common pain point for operators who frequently misplace remotes.
Heavy-duty hauling gets major upgrades with Kaufman’s factory-direct approach delivering competitive pricing on high-capacity trailers. Its 40-ton ag trailer maintains three axles while staying under 53 feet in length to aid in transportation. The company’s 38,000-pound GVWR gooseneck represents the heaviest electric brake trailer in its class.
Specialized applications see major development with SurePoint’s complete Arsenal spray trailer system, which integrates automated chemical mixing, while KBH’s stainless steel nurse trailer streamlines chemical distribution with 4,200-gallon capacity and dedicated rinse systems.
Modular design trends emerge through L&D Ag’s Lander drone trailer deck, which bolts onto existing trailers rather than requiring complete new purchases. Similarly, Cornhusker 800’s grain trailers feature bolt-together construction for field repairs without welding.
Header transport advances with Unverferth’s Roadrunner HD using rigid construction for longer highway runs, while Dose Manufacturing’s Headhunter Eagle introduces patent-pending all-wheel steering for improved maneuverability. These developments reflect agriculture’s growing need for specialized transport solutions as equipment sizes continue increasing and operations expand geographically.
