Timpte Advantage

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 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

Founded in 1884, Timpte celebrated our 140^th year in business in 2024. 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.

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).

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.

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.

At Timpte, we are deeply committed to building the highest quality trailers on the market. Our state-of-the-art Research & Development Center is the driving force behind our innovation, allowing our team of dedicated engineers to test, refine, and perfect every aspect of our trailers. Each component undergoes rigorous testing, from stress analysis and durability assessments to real-world performance trials, ensuring it meets our strict standards for quality and performance.

At Timpte, we understand the importance of keeping your trailers on the road and your business running smoothly. That’s why we established the Timpte Parts Center with one goal in mind: providing reliable parts and excellent service to our valued customers.
