They market anything from single trailers for the local landscaping busi- ness owner, to multiple trailers for big businesses and governments. They do a lot of sales in Canada, and have dealerships all over the region. Not bad for a company that carries the “Kentucky Proud” seal. “One thing we like to get out there is, this isn’t like purchasing a car. We do some things that are extremely unique,” Mosley said. While other places bring in trailers to sell, Gatormade does the manufac- turing, marketing, sales and distribu- tion all in one location. That means they can custom-build a specialty trailer, like one with extra storage, explained marketing director Tierra Diggins. “If you’re at a job site and need something very specific right away, a lot of times we can get that for you, whereas with other companies it could be three or four months,” she said. Like Conder’s, Gatormade sells many different types of trailers, including equipment trailers, goosenecks, tilt trailers, dump trailers, and enclosed trailers. They have even created a special type of trailer that houses several shower stalls, which Mosley said has been used in California to help with the homeless population. And because the trailers are manufactured on site, the company prides itself on having the highest quality materials and craftsmanship available. That higher quality doesn’t always translate to higher prices, though. Mosley said some homeowner trail- ers are not far from the same price as those that come from a dealer, be- cause buying local means not having to pay for the mark-up. “What we really like to focus on are three core values: Quality, safety, value. We tend to make trailers that are lifetime trailers,” Mosley said. FINANCING AVAILABLE FOR QUALIFIED BUYERS 606-451-8742 606-875-1538 • 2368 N.
