What is the Homesteader brand?
Homesteader Trailers was founded at the boom of the American trailer industry in 1985. A flooded competitive market drove Homesteader Trailers to seek the best materials, innovative designs, and experienced craftsmanship they could offer their customers, and that commitment has paid off in forty years of business.
Homesteader is now a leading trailer manufacturer that specializes in enclosed cargo trailers, hydraulic dump trailers, enclosed car hauler trailers, and horse trailers. Available in over 200 dealerships across the USA, Homesteader Trailers has quickly become a preferred brand when dependability is key.

Because Homesteader prioritizes quality and innovation, the brand offers extensive customization options and uses many of its own branded components that deliver the best results. As a result, each trailer Homesteader manufactures is built to last (especially with proper maintenance) and uniquely designed to meet customer needs—whether you’re an equestrian looking for a reliable horse trailer or a contractor ready for an equipment upgrade.
