The business started in a small shop in Elmira, Ontario, and its first products were sturdy farm dump trailers, as the business was entirely geared toward agricultural products. With a basic, no nonsense style, coupled with quality workmanship, these trailers soon became a booming success all over the province. For years, these six and eight-ton Weberlane Supertilts were the trailer of choice for farmers needing an all-purpose dump trailer around the farm. In fact they were so popular, these same models are still available today, with very little design change, and interchangeable parts. “In 1990, the current owner, Ed Reist, bought the trailer business from Weberlane Manufacturing, and moved production of the farm dump trailers to an on-farm manufacturing shop near Listowel,” recounts Sales & Marketing Director, Darren Frey.
