About Dorsey Trailers
Founded in 1911 in Elba, Alabama, Dorsey Trailer is one of America's oldest and most respected trailer manufacturers.

Dorsey's tagline — "Where Experience Breeds Quality" — reflects over a century of craftsmanship. Every trailer is built with high-tensile strength steel, finished with PPG™ automotive-grade acrylic urethane coatings, and wired with Grote Ultra Blue™ sealed harnesses with high-count LED lighting for maximum durability and safety.
