Timpte Advantage
Through a collection of detailed videos and documents, we’ll showcase the innovative features, exceptional build quality, and unparalleled versatility that set Timpte trailers apart from the competition. Join us as we delve into why Timpte is the top choice for all your hauling needs.
Mechanically Fastened Joints
Timpte is committed to building the highest quality trailer in the market. By building our trailers using mechanically fastened joints we can achieve maximum strength, durability, and longevity out of aluminum. Other manufacturers rely on welding to assemble their trailers. Welding is a cheap and easy construction method, but it ultimately reduces the structural integrity of an aluminum trailer by up to 40%.
Aluminum Construction
Aluminum is a lightweight and durable material. At roughly 1/3 the density of steel, aluminum’s low profile can provide benefits that its steel counterparts cannot.
- Increased Fuel Economy
- Easier on You & Your Vehicle
- Higher Strength-to-Weight Ratio

As the longest-operating trailer company in North America, we are proud of our long-term relationships with our valued distribution partners and our loyal customer base. By partnering with Timpte you gain the stability and experience of working with a 140-year-old privately held company with strong buying power within the industry.
#1 Selling Dry-Bulk Commodity Trailer
Today, Timpte is the #1 selling dry-bulk commodity trailer in North America. Our semi-trailers have rated capacities up to 77,000 lbs. GVWR and are designed to withstand some of the toughest jobs for any trailer. These trailers haul a wide variety of dry bulk commodities (corn, soybeans, fertilizer, frac sand, coal, aggregate, and more).
Proprietary Aluminum Construction
Each Timpte trailer design utilizes custom dies and tooling to craft our proprietary aluminum components, which are used exclusively on Timpte trailers.
We design our proprietary extrusions to be part of fully integrated transportation solutions that consider how all the individual components of the trailer must work together under very severe operating conditions.
Lincoln Manufacturing Center
Timpte is excited to introduce its brand-new Lincoln Manufacturing Center, a 200,000-square-foot facility located in the Industrial Air Park of Lincoln, Nebraska. This $22 million investment is a cornerstone in Timpte’s strategy to enhance its production capabilities and lead the way in equipment trailer innovation.

Mechanical Fastener Construction
The difference in durability and craftsmanship that goes into each Timpte trailer.
Most aluminum trailer manufacturers rely on welding to build their trailers, which can weaken the structural integrity of the trailer by up to 40%. Instead, Timpte uses proprietary extruded aluminum and mechanically fastened joints to provide a much more rugged and durable construction. By building our trailers using mechanically fastened joints we can achieve maximum strength, durability, and longevity out of the aluminum.
On top of weakening the structural integrity of an aluminum trailer, structural welds are more prone to cracking and fatigue than mechanical fasteners. Fastened joints can be easily intepected, adjusted, or replaced when needed.
That’s a Timpte Advantage.
Proprietary Aluminum Extrusion
Engineered for optimal strength and durability.
Aluminum Extrusion is a manufacturing process used to create consistent components that feature a cross-sectional profile. Extrusions are made by forcing aluminum alloy material through a dye.
Each Timpte trailer design utilizes custom dyes and tooling to craft our proprietary aluminum components, which are used exclusively on Timpte trailers. Our proprietary extrusions are engineered for optimal strength and durability, ensuring the trailer can withstand varying loads.
We design our proprietary extrusions to be a part of fully integrated transportation solutions that consider how all the individual components of the trailer must work together under very severe operating conditions.
That’s a Timpte Advantage.
