Your Introduction to Dorsey Trailers

A history of Dorsey is a history of durability. In 1911, the folks in Elba, Alabama started this company; they set out to build the most durable custom trailers on the market. Today, Dorsey’s vision remains the same. It all started in a converted livery stable located in Elba, Alabama. Pete and Henry Dorsey opened a small machine shop to repair the power saws, boilers and trucks of the booming timber business. They soon started designing and building their own products. For over 100 years, Dorsey has been committed to building the most durable trailers on the road. That commitment combined with a dedicated dealer network has made Dorsey the fastest growing platform trailer manufacturer in the country. Generations of skilled craftsmen in Elba, Alabama take pride in building a full line of trailers that meets the road’s demands. People make the difference at Dorsey, putting quality first in every step of the manufacturing process.
