Kentucky Trailer has significantly expanded its capacity to  produce complete race transporters for the motorsports market under the brand  Kentucky High Tech Performance Trailers.

"We have refined our process and production capacity to  easily handle the motorsports market's quick order and delivery cycle  needs," said Kentucky Trailer senior vice president, Charles Ducas. 

For more than 25 years, Kentucky Trailer has produced race  transporter shells for aftermarket conversion companies. This strategy met the  conversion companies' needs, yet rarely met the market segment's overall  delivery time frames. To better serve customer needs, Kentucky Trailer  initiated plans to design, build, and produce complete race transporters to  customers' exact specifications. Additionally, race transporter shells are  produced and held in inventory, which allows for immediate conversion to  customers' unique specifications.     

Production of race transporter and other custom trailers is  performed at Kentucky Trailer's new 240,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art  production facility in Louisville, Kentucky.     

Kentucky High Tech Performance Trailers completes every facet of  trailer production, including custom expandable lounge areas, custom cabinetry,  and the latest in electronics. Experienced craftsmen install a wide variety of  generators, lift gates, and HVAC options, as well. The company also expanded  its custom paint and graphic application capacity when it opened the  85,000-square-foot Kentucky Paint & Reconditioning plant in February  2011.   

Kentucky Trailer acquired High Tech Performance Trailers' assets  and intellectual property in September 2009. For more than 20 years, High  Tech Performance Trailers have been built on Kentucky Trailer shells.   

Effective January 1, 2012, Kentucky Trailer dissolved its joint  venture with High Tech Performance Trailers, located in Painesville, Ohio. The  Painesville, Ohio firm is no longer associated with Kentucky Trailer or  Kentucky High Tech Performance Trailers located in Louisville, Kentucky.  Kentucky Trailer owns the rights to the names High Tech and High Tech  Performance Trailers.      

Kentucky Trailer has  two locations to handle aftermarket part, service, and complete trailer  reconditioning needs in Louisville, Kentucky and Fontana, California.
