Silverlite Trailers Closed May 2010

Springfield, OR - Silverlite Trailers, a manufacturer of high-end aluminum horse trailers closed its doors for good during the economic downturn during the 2008-2010 recession.

The recession has “affected everyone in the RV industry,” Rick Harne, the company’s vice president of sales and marketing, said Wednesday. “There’s not enough sales to maintain a factory at this time.”

Silverlite Trailers was founded in 1996 by Dave Hyland and Greg Meller. The company builds high-end, custom aluminum horse trailers, with prices ranging from $8,500 to $100,000. Some models feature living quarters for humans in the front. Silverlite is the last aluminum horse trailer builder in the West, Harne said.

SilverLite Trailers, Inc. is a small company with a big heart located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When you order a SilverLite, you can rest assured that it was built with our company principles of quality, service and affordability. Trailers are actively inspected by owners of SilverLite Trailers before it leaves the factory lot - just another example of the personal relationships with our customers and our high degree of accountability with our products.  The skilled team is dedicated to producing a top-quality trailer to meet your needs and desires. This means that every component of your trailer fits together perfectly. The majority of manufacturers send out their living quarters or sections of their trailers to off-site contractors, meaning that the components aren't made together. This can often result in problems like leaks and shorts in the wiring. Another benefit of having your trailer built on-site is the increased ability for customization. No pre-made conversions here! SilverLite can customize your horse area, tack room and living quarters. Just bring your specific request to us and we'll work to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

Because SilverLite is a smaller manufacturer, we approach each customer as a valued member of our SilverLite family. We pride ourselves on our personal relationships with our customers and the ongoing friendships that so often occur. When you call our office, you'll get real, live people to answer your questions. If you bring your trailer in for work, you'll receive excellent service and honest feedback. You won't be treated like a number when you order a SilverLite Trailer.
