fter 50 + years of combined experience in the manufacturing industry , the Black Rhino team was ready to take the trailer design & build into their own hands . Hence , Black Rhino Manufacturing was born ; named for the robustness , toughness and aggression it brings to the market .
Originally , Black Rhino ’ s introduction into trailer design started simply enough : build a better trailer for the market . Fortunately , the launch went very well and in 2020 Black Rhino Manufacturing was established .
“ We have extensive manufacturing experience ; and it has lent itself well to kick-start a manufacturing operation .” added Black Rhino team member , Scott .
Their priority was to focus Black Rhino ’ s efforts on unique offerings , which led them to the aluminum market . Many of their customers had expressed interest in aluminum options instead of steel due to its lightweight and corrosion resistance . Despite the company ’ s use of premium materials , their initial offerings were simple . However , the company itself and its business quickly expanded .
“ We started with single axle designs . Once we perfected those , we started to open additional product lines ,” Scott shared . “ Now , we ’ re into tandem axles and we ’ ll soon be launching a car hauler series . In our business , we want to perfect our current products before moving forward to the next ones .”
