The Aluminum

IMPACT

ow do you make a strong,

durable trailer while also
being lightweight? Create it
with aluminum. An aluminum
trailer is ideal for consumers
looking for a maintenance-free
option, as they are rust-free.
Every single trailer produced by
Aluma is manufactured using all
aluminum welded construction
right here in the USA. If all of the
benefits of an Aluma trailer still
arent enough to convince you,
they also offer a 5-year warranty

on all of their trailers, one of

best in the industry.

Aluma makes a trailer for almost

any need, from utility and ATV
trailers, car and motorcycle
haulers, enclosed trailers,
watercraft trailers, snowmobile
trailers to truck beds. With over
60 different models of open
utility and enclosed cargo
trailers, Croft can provide you
with the trailer that suits your
needs with ease.

Building safe, reliable

towing products to fit
specific equipment and
cargo needs is one of our
many passions.
Whether collaborating with large
companies using the latest 3D
CAD software or upgrading a
single customers trailer, Croft

can make a trailer to suit any

customers needs. We employ a
team of dedicated, skilled craftsmen

OEM Markets
Croft Trailer Supply has been
designing and manufacturing for
the OEM market for decades. OEM
stands for Original Equipment
Manufacturer, a term used when

one company makes a product

that another company uses in
their end product. For Croft,
making OEM products has given
us the opportunity to work with
many great companies over the
years. We have crafted custom
designed trailers for generators,
air compressors and water pumps.
When it involves a trailer, Croft can
build it!

Croft provides numerous

services for our OEM clients,
including consulting, quoting,
manufacturing, finishing,
assembly and packaging. Our
team of dedicated, skilled
craftsmen take projects from
concept to completion with an
emphasis on attention to detail
while working efficiently. Croft
doesnt stop after completing the
manufacturing process. We also

offer packaging and marketing to

deliver a complete product to
our clients.

Revolutionary NoRamp

The revolution is here.

With the push of a button these trailers drop to the

ground so you can load any cargo without the use
of heavy ramps.

Show February 22-25, 2015 in New Orleans, Booth 6035.

Big Tex Trailers

The frames are designed with framing fixtures

to ensure maximum symmetry and proper
alignment, resulting in an outstanding towing
experience. The longevity of Big Tex Trailers is
attributed to the heavy gauge - low carbon, high

trailer twist & steel fatigue. From small single axle
utility trailers to heavy-duty equipment haulers,
Big Tex Trailers offers a diverse selection of
products for consumers.

Giving back to our community is important for the Croft family. Over the past year, we have been
able to donate to the March of Dimes, Walk to End Alzheimers and the Shriners International.
We are proud to be able to support these worthy charities as they help support and strengthen

March of Dimes
One of our employees, Debi and Team Stephens participated in a
2-mile trek last May for the March of Dimes. March of Dimes aims to
research problems that threaten babies, help mothers have a healthy
pregnancy and assist families if health issues arise. Croft was pleased
to be able to back Team Stephens and help the March of Dimes
reach more families in need. Learn more about the March of Dimes
and how you can help at www.marchofdimes.org.

Walk to End Alzheimers

In early October, a Walk to End Alzheimers
was held in Kansas City to raise money for the
Alzheimers Association. They provide care
and support, advance research and advocate
to make Alzheimers a national priority.
Alzheimers can be devastating to entire
families, which is why Croft is honored to
help promote this worthy cause. Please

Business

Croft has been supporting the Shriners since the companys beginning. Founder George Croft
was a member of the Ararat Shriners, the Kansas City chapter of the Shriners International.
Since then multiple generations of the Croft family have been members of this fraternity.
Croft contributes every year to the Shriners official charity, the Shriners Hospitals for
Children. The hospitals provide care for children in need, regardless of a patients ability to

Shriners Hospitals are a blessing for many families. Visit www.araratshrine.com/hospitals/

When your passion requires loading up

having a reliable trailer is a priority.
Story & Photos: Katy ONeill-Boothe

mateur motocross racer, Justin Kistner, relies

on his trailer to get his Honda CR250R and
CR125R to the Dragoon Creek Motocross
Park in Lyndon, KS for practice. Since Kistner was
a boy, he has been intrigued by motorcycles and
dirt bikes. They fascinate me, Justin stated when
asked about dirt bikes. Riding is a release for me.
You dont think about anything other than
riding. Kistner says his two main goals are to
avoid crashing and not to finish in last place.
Justin is not worried about winning; the thrill
of competition is one more reason he enjoys
racing. This year Dragoon Creek Motocross Park
has races starting in March and continue
through November.
Justin and his family are no strangers to trailers.
The family owns a transport company. They use

tie-downs, ramps and more, it would be tough to
