About 4-Star Horse Trailers
4-Star's History:
In April of 1984, four men set
out to fulfill their dream. The four men, from which the 4-Star logo came,
had a vision of a superior trailer carrying the 4-Star name. After about
four months, one of the partners decided to sell out; in 1990, another
partner retired. Today, the owners and employees continue to guide 4-Star
with innovative concepts and ideas.
Holding
a major portion of the trailer market, 4-Star now employees well over 200
people. Always continuing to improve and with the company-wide philosophy of
maintaining superior engineering and quality workmanship, every new 4-Star
has the same structural integrity as the first 4-Star. It is this belief
that will keep 4-Star a force within the industry for years to come.
The Trailers:
With the growing number of
companies building only production trailers, 4-Star has maintained its
belief that every person is different, every load of stock is different,
therefore every trailer should be different. Although every 4-Star is
different in its design, all 4-Star Trailers are built with the same
principles of strength, durability, and craftsmanship. Even standard 4-Star
models were designed to make a useable trailer available for customers, but
we understand that no one knows you or your cargo better than you.
Back
in 1984, the owners of 4-Star knew they had to build a strong trailer for
two very important reasons. First of all, since every trailer was going to
be custom built and potentially very different from the next, a strong core
design had to be developed. This core, which can still be found in every
4-Star, allows customers to build the trailer that fits their specific
needs.
The second reason was somewhat simpler: aluminum trailers were
still a novelty. People did not want to believe that aluminum was superior
to steel. People believed that the lighter weight aluminum trailers would
not hold up as well the traditional steel trailers. Therefore, 4-Star
Trailers not only had to be lighter than the bulky steel trailers, but as
strong if not stronger. With the obvious maintenance factors heavily in
favor of aluminum trailers, 4-Star helped pave the way for not only its own
niche in the market, but for the entire trailer industry itself. Where
aluminum trailers being superior is now an afterthought, at 4-Star we take
great pride in knowing that we helped changed the face of the trailer
industry.
