El Reno, Oklahoma -- Universal Trailer Corporation announces the launch of its newest product in the horse and livestock market – Miley. A well-known industry brand – Miley’s legend returns to the marketplace. By acquiring the rights to the Miley name UTC brings back to the marketplace a well-known product that has been historically recognized as a national name brand. With a reputation noted for quality, user-friendly features and dependability, the Miley brand will be UTC’s entry in a broad segment of retail price points.
The Miley 2 and 3 horse slant load bumper pull trailers are being developed and produced at Universal Trailer’s Duncan, Oklahoma facility, while the 2 horse straight load model is being manufactured at UTC’s McAdoo, Pennsylvania plant. These three trailers, along with gooseneck models that are being developed, will be migrated to other Universal facilities across the US in the near future, making Miley a national full-line product in the steel frame trailer category.
“We are excited at the opportunity to enter the growing steel trailer segment with a notable and respected name like Miley. As the leading supplier of aluminum horse and livestock trailers in the industry today, the addition of the Miley brand allows our dealer partners to extend their reach into the expanding entry level price points covered by steel trailer products. We believe that Miley will not only serve the entry level market, but will also provide a solid value for consumers seeking significant utility through its expanded, unique designs. An example of this is the aluminum floor design that adds durability and reliability while reducing overall trailer weight versus traditional wood floor products. Added standard features of aluminum fenders, aluminum exterior sheeting and rubber torsion axles help round out the Miley as a solid value and help reinforce the rich heritage of the Miley nameplate,” said Tom Frey, president and chief executive officer of Universal Trailer.
