They say that necessity is the mother of invention , if you ever doubted that , look no further than Haulit Trailers . This all-in-one system simplifies deliveries and eases operating costs . The patented Haulit Trailers were Invented by Randy Marble , out of need and necessity for deliveries at his previously owned sod farm . He was completely frustrated with the inability to be able to deliver 4 or less pallets of sod without having to hire a semi with a forklift just to drop the product off and hated making customers have to wait . He knew there was opportunity and huge profit potential in meeting the demand of smaller loads for retail and home delivery- as long as it could be safe and efficient . As a result , the first Haulit Trailer prototype was created in 2013 as a single pallet delivery trailer and the Haulit brand took root .
Today , Haulit offers two heavy duty models , the Workhorse , which has a three-pallet load capacity and the Workhorse XL that can haul up to four pallets . These trailers allow you to haul , dump , and deliver a wide range of materials — not just pallets . Once sod delivery was a success , Marble expanded the use of the Haulit trailers for pavers , gravel , mulch , building materials , feed , etc . and the list goes on .
“ This is just the right size of trailer to be able to deliver the average size load without the need of a CDL or other expensive equipment .” says Marble .
To help businesses that offer ( or need to start offering ) deliveries , Marble knew he would need emphasis on reliability , safety , and ease of operation with a quick unload time . The Haulit Workhorse models give you those results . Haulit trailers are built with heavy duty steel , 2-7k lb . axles , 2-7k lb . hydraulic lifts but the thing that puts these trailers in a category of their own is the conveyor system that can drop a pallet of any material with no lift assistance of any kind and then move the remaining load to the best position for towing . Everything is operated by handheld remote , so if you have four pallets on the trailer that need to go to different locations you can re-adjust the loads for towing after you make each drop . Drivers love its ability to safely and quickly unload cargo . Business owners love that it opens opportunities for their deliveries , and eases the whole delivery experience for their drivers and their customers .
Having proven their concept , they are ready to bring these trailers to a much broader market . They have over 200 units operating
