Since 1987

Our Story: From a Two-Man Dream to a National Brand

Rice Trailers began in 1987 with two men, a small shop, and a big dream — to build high-quality trailers that hard-working Americans could count on. Armed with grit, determination, and a passion for craftsmanship, they built their first trailers by hand, focusing on strength, reliability, and honest workmanship.

Dealers and customers recognized the quality difference, and demand grew beyond their small-town beginnings. Over the years, Rice Trailers has evolved into a nationwide brand, known coast to coast for building some of the toughest, most dependable trailers on the market.

Today, we combine that same hands-on spirit with state-of-the-art manufacturing, including robotic welding and precision laser cutting, to deliver trailers that meet the highest standards of performance. Though we’ve grown, we’ve never lost sight of our roots — proudly American-made, built with pride, and trusted by professionals across the U.S.

Simplify your building process

We’ve streamlined the building process without cutting corners — using smart design, advanced technology, and precision craftsmanship to deliver high-quality, heavy-duty trailers that are built to last.

“We didn’t set out to build the most trailers — we set out to build the best. The rest took care of itself.”

Robotic Welding

Robotic welding offers unmatched precision, consistency, and strength in trailer manufacturing. By automating the welding process, it eliminates human variability and ensures repeatable, high-quality welds on every unit. This leads to cleaner seams, improved structural integrity, and longer product lifespan.

Precision Lasers

Laser cutting brings exceptional accuracy and efficiency to trailer fabrication. With the ability to make clean, precise cuts at high speed, it ensures tight tolerances and consistent part quality across every build.

Building Materials

We believe that a trailer is only as strong as the materials it's built from. That’s why we use only high-quality, heavy-duty steel and durable components sourced from trusted suppliers. From the frame to the flooring, every material is selected for its strength, longevity, and performance under pressure.
