INDIANAPOLIS, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Palmer Trucks, a regional, family-owned Kenworth dealer, is partnering with family-owned venture Extreme Trailers to provide customers of Terre Haute, Ind. And Effingham, Ill. with premium, flatbed trailer options. Extreme Trailers, established in 2016 with manufacturing in Dover, OH, provides innovative, long-lasting and lightweight aluminum trailers for commercial trucks. The introduction of Extreme Trailers' premium trailers to Palmer Trucks' portfolio strongly correlates with the Kenworth brand, thus providing a seamless pairing for long-term return-on-investment.

A brand new Extreme Trailers XP Series flatbed sits at Kenworth of Indianapolis ready to take the road. The premium, all-aluminum XP flatbeds are delivered from the factory in Dover, OH and are constructed with proven, patented technology. The trailers are now available at Terre Haute, Ind. and Effingham, Ill.

Palmer Trucks President Scott Nichols comments, "We are excited to partner with Extreme Trailers. As a family-owned business, they culturally complement Palmer Trucks. Quality, specialization and lightweight-construction are attributes that we see in the Extreme product line, which satisfy the needs and expectations of our Kenworth customers."

With exponential expansion since 2016, Extreme Trailers has taken a strong position in the marketplace with innovative patents both awarded and pending. The flatbed trailers now offered through Palmer Trucks feature easy-access brake and electrical systems, all-aluminum construction, Jost landing gear and standard Meritor brake equipment. Notably, the patented C-channel aluminum decking boosts durability and load capacity, while the lightweight design reduces tare weight by 1,000 to 1,800 pounds, depending upon the model.

Palmer Trucks sales representatives are now actively referring Extreme Trailers inquiries to its Terre Haute and Effingham stores. Interested parties can soon find more information on the Palmer Trucks website, Extreme Trailers website, as well as, a floor model at Kenworth of Indianapolis.
