Imagine yourself having a casual conversation when you decide to ask an old friend if they want to start a business . What kind of business ?, he replied . I ’ m tired of selling the number of trailers I do for other companies , I want to start a trailer manufacturing company you stated . Really ? That ’ s interesting , we should get together on Monday and talk about it . And they would do just that and so would begin the planning for what would become Stallion Trailers .
The person instigating all of this is Kathy Diserens , a seasoned professional with many years in the industry selling countless trailers over her career . Diserens is what we like to call a ten percenter , which means she is one of the approximately 10 % of women who make a living in the trailer industry . In this case Diserens is the only female we know of to be a Co-founder and General Sales Manager of a trailer manufacturing operation .
Her years of experience garnered many contacts throughout the industry so when she began putting together a team , she already had specific people in mind for the different parts of the operation . “ I ’ m all about customer service and know what high standards I hold myself to , so I wanted to surround myself with professionals who also hold themselves to the same high bar . We use only high-quality components to start the build , having the right people in the right place to assure highest quality fit and finish follows through-out the process is critical ” Diserens tells us .
“ All of our trailers go through a threestage inspection , two on the line and one in the yard so it can be viewed in the daylight . I count on them to find any potential flaw so it can be addressed before it leaves our facility . Nobody wants warranty issues , not us , not the dealer and certainly not the end user and these inspections are designed eliminate those possibilities .”
Stallion is focused on the cargo / enclosed trailers with a wide size range from 5x8 up to 8.5x28 . The profiles come in bullnose , V-nose , and flat front options . All trailers come standard with a side door and ramp door for the rear with an option for barndoors if you choose . They are currently bringing a host of other options online to include in future builds .
The future brings more innovation with the addition of a slant nose profile and up-fitted interiors to include all the custom touches depending on what use it will be put to . Stallion is looking for new dealers across the U . S so if your considering adding cargo / enclosed trailers to the mix on your lot , you can see these trailers for yourself at the 2022 NATDA Trade Show or you can contact them using the information below .
