XL Specialized Trailers opens new service center

XL Specialized Trailers has opened a trailer service center located across the street from their headquarters and main manufacturing facility in Manchester, Iowa. The service center is designed specifically to service trailers: lowboys, flatbeds, and other trailer models. XL plans to tackle many types of service work; everything from preventative maintenance to full restoration.

“We are very excited to announce the opening of this service center,” said Rodney Crim, vice president of sales at XL. “Heavy-haul trailers are an investment. Extending their lifecycle is important for our customers, therefore it is important to us. We have been servicing trailers for years, and now this service center will allow us to handle trailer service work on a large scale.”
