OEM & Manufacturer Partnerships
Build TrailerMate™ Into the Trailer.
We're interested in working with trailer manufacturers, upfitters and industry partners to explore how purpose-built TrailerMate™ access can become part of the trailer from the beginning.
Partnership Opportunities
More than an aftermarket product.
A Different Approach
What if access wasn't added later?
Trailer access is often considered after the trailer has already been designed, manufactured and delivered.
TrailerMate™ sees an opportunity to think about access earlier — while the trailer itself is being designed, configured or built.
Working with manufacturers creates the possibility of matching the access system more closely to trailer geometry, deck height, attachment points and intended applications.
Ways We Could Work Together
One partnership can take several forms.
Every manufacturer is different. We're interested in discussing opportunities ranging from accessory programs to application-specific product development.
Factory Accessory Programs
Explore offering a compatible TrailerMate™ access system as an available accessory or option when customers purchase a new trailer.
Product Integration
Discuss how trailer attachment points, storage, mounting provisions or other design considerations could better accommodate TrailerMate™.
Application-Specific Development
If an existing TrailerMate™ configuration isn't the right fit, we can discuss whether an opportunity exists to develop a configuration around a particular trailer platform or application.
The Bigger Idea
Design the access around the trailer.
An OEM relationship gives both companies an opportunity to think beyond simply attaching an aftermarket product to a finished trailer.
Why TrailerMate™
We're building a product family, not one product.
Different trailer configurations create different access requirements. TrailerMate™ is being developed around that reality.
Application-Focused
TrailerMate™ configurations can be considered around the specific trailer and intended application.
Expanding Product Family
TrailerMate™ is expanding beyond a single flatbed configuration into additional trailer access applications.
Manufacturer Collaboration
We're interested in understanding how manufacturers build their trailers and where better access opportunities may exist.
After-Sale Support
TrailerMate™ can provide product information, replacement-component support and resources after the trailer reaches its owner.
New Applications
Have a trailer that needs a different approach?
Not every trailer will fit an existing TrailerMate™ configuration. Manufacturers with a specific platform or application are invited to start a conversation about the access requirement.
We'll begin by understanding the trailer, the intended access point and the application before determining whether there may be an opportunity to work together.
Helpful information to share
You don't need a finished engineering package to start a conversation.
Starting the Conversation
Start with the trailer.
An initial OEM conversation doesn't need to be complicated. We start by understanding the application and determining whether there is a potential fit.
Tell Us About the Trailer
Share the trailer platform, application and access challenge you're trying to address.
Review the Application
We can discuss dimensions, geometry, attachment areas and existing TrailerMate™ configurations.
Explore the Opportunity
Determine whether an existing product, accessory program or new application warrants further evaluation.
Define Next Steps
If there is a fit, both companies can determine appropriate development, testing and commercial next steps.
Industry Partners
We'd like to hear from...
Trailer Manufacturers
Manufacturers building flatbed, fifth-wheel, gooseneck and related trailer platforms.
Trailer Upfitters
Companies modifying or configuring trailers for specialized applications.
Body Manufacturers
Manufacturers interested in purpose-built access around truck and equipment applications.
Industry Partners
Organizations with an application or product concept that may fit the TrailerMate™ platform.
Start a Conversation
Tell us what you're building.
Share a little about your company, trailer platform and what you're interested in exploring with TrailerMate™.
You don't need to have every detail figured out. The goal of the first conversation is simply to understand whether there may be an opportunity to work together.
Build access into the conversation earlier.
If you're designing, manufacturing or configuring trailers, we'd like to hear what you're working on.
