A legAcy of innovATion. A commiTmenT To quAliT y.Engineered for Excellence
A Utility flatbed has always been a product without compromise, constantly improved by continuous innovation, giving you a product that can be relied upon for years of service. Our philosophy is that an investment in better technology means better performance, lower operating costs and a longer life cycle. That is what you can expect to receive from every Utility flatbed. Whatever the application, you can be confident that there is no better built flatbed available on the market today.
It is understood that to be the best, we have to build the best. That’s why each Utility flatbed is a trailer
of unmatched quality. We take our commitment to building a reliable product seriously. This means a Utility flatbed owner can be confident that there is no better value available—value realized in lower operating costs, lower maintenance costs and longer trailer life. Up close, you can see the craftsmanship that sets a Utility flatbed apart.
A History of Trust
For nearly 100 years, Utility has time and again
established a standard that others were challenged
to follow. Innovation and a commitment to quality
run in our blood, being both a family vision for always
improving our trailers and a tradition of delivering the
highest quality products to our customers.
There have been many significant milestones in our
history. Utility was the first trailer manufacturer to
plasma-cut one-piece main beams and we
designed our own 100% soldered wiring harness.
In 2007, the 4000A® was introduced, using both
steel and aluminum materials, making it stronger
yet lighter. Durability, reliability and high quality all
come standard on our flatbeds.
The 4000A®, 4000S®, Drop Deck flatbed, flatbed
doubles and the Tautliner® curtainsided trailer are
all manufactured at our Enterprise, Alabama facility.
Lowering life cycle costs through innovation since 1914.
To deliver the highest quality products in the industry, Utility maintains a comprehensive, state-of-the-art Research & Development facility. Our dedicated and highly-trained staff tests the functionality and durability of our trailers and their components so that they meet our high quality standards. Both static and cyclical analytical tests are conducted by our engineers and designers to research, design and test standard trailer models. In addition, every standard trailer model and component is “real-world” dynamically-tested on our own rigorous outdoor test track to meet optimum performance standards. All new designs, specifications and components will only be approved after they are track-tested under “real-world” conditions to evaluate the effects of compression, tension, torsion, abuse and more.
When our trailers perform on our test track, they perform in the real world. That’s quality that delivers.

Higher Quality Paint Process for Lower Life Cycle Costs
For more protection against rust and corrosion, exterior main beam surfaces are shot blasted prior to painting with a two-part primer and two-part urethane top coat. Interior surfaces of the main beams and crossmembers are painted with a durable rust preventative coating for lower maintenance costs.
We believe there is no better flatbed built today. Besides offering
flatbeds with the highest quality standard features, we also
offer flatbeds for a wide set of applications. We are earning our
customers’ trust by equipping each flatbed with technology that
makes it simply stronger, lighter and better.

100% Soldered Modular Electrical Wiring System
The Utility-designed modular, sealed main harness has 100% soldered internal connectors to prevent corrosive de-icing chemicals from travelling through connections into the wiring system and comes with a 10-year warranty.
Heavy Duty Pipe Spools
Featuring a 6,500 lbs. Working Load Limit rating, the heavy duty extruded aluminum pipe spools are robotically welded to the side rail on 24" centers between adjacent pockets. The pipe spools surpass U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) and Transport Canada requirements for load securement points.
Hat-Shaped Top Flange
The 80,000 psi high tensile steel hat-shaped top flange provides additional lateral stability to the trailer from its attachment to the extruded aluminum floor. Cad-plated screws secure the top flange to the outboard floor planks on each side to help resist the scrubbing action caused by wide spread suspensions ensuring a long life cycle.
Durable Outrigger Attachments
Three heavy duty aluminum tube-shaped outriggers are located on each side of the flatbed. Outriggers connected to the crossmembers provide stability and help distribute the load to the main beams. The unique hinge-style bolted attachments provide longer outrigger life.
Integral Winch Track
The full-length winch track is integrated into the extruded aluminum side rails on both sides of the trailer for increased load securement versatility.

Next Generation ThinkingFor nearly 100 years, Utility has built the strongest and lightest weight trailers available. With four generations of Bennett family ownership, Utility has created an enduring legacy of innovation and a dedication to delivering quality products. At the same time, Utility also understands the value and importance of preserving the environment. Our commitment to sustainability includes adopting environmentally-friendly standard practices through responsible resource usage, material recycling, waste reduction, emissions reduction programs, and energy conservation to preserve the environment for future generations.
Integrating Environmentally Friendly Technologies & ProcessesOur trailers are built with light weight, durable, fully tested designs which incorporate industry-leading technologies, high quality materials and reliable components, all yielding increased trailer value. Our commitment to producing quality products has efficiently and effectively improved our manufacturing process and has significantly reduced the carbon footprint of our trailers. In 2007, Utility was recognized as an environmental leader when our 4000D-X® dry van became the first EPA Certified SmartWay® trailer. All of our reefers are insulated using
EPA-approved zero ODP (ozone depletion potential) 245-FA foam blowing agent which contains zero VOCs (volatile organic compounds). All paints and coating are lead-free and low in VOCs and HAPs (hazardous air pollutants). We have reduced our VOCs by over 20% and our HAPs by over 87%. Wood products used in our trailers are bought from Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) programs.
Utility manufacturing facilities are also actively reducing their impact on the environment in their communities and improving working conditions inside our plants. We are converting our forklift fleet to clean-burning natural gas. We are implementing a change-out program toward low energy fluorescent lighting and are converting our manufacturing facilities’ lighting and heating to computer-controlled systems. Source control and process changes have led to a 33% reduction in scrap metal and up to 33% diversion of waste going to local landfills.
Thinking Smart. Thinking Ahead.Utility strives to minimize the carbon footprint of our trailers. Our conservation efforts are not only aimed at protecting the environment, but also to provide a safe, healthy workplace for our employees. We take our responsibilities seriously and are committed to sustaining the environment for generations to come.
