A Decade-Long Partnership: Ziegler CAT and Towmaster Trailers

For over a decade, Ziegler CAT and Towmaster Trailers have forged a steadfast partnership, characterized by mutual trust and a commitment to excellence. Both have been in the trailer and equipment space for years, steadily growing their respective businesses. So how did these two powerhouse companies decide to join forces?

Ziegler CAT has over 110 years of experience as an equipment dealer, and with all that experience, the company is driven to ensure the success of its customers by maximizing uptime and getting the job done the right way. Ziegler serves as a dependable resource for its customers, many of whom refer to the company as their "never-ending tool shed."

Towmaster and Ziegler established the partnership in late 2012 when Towmaster began supplying trailers to Ziegler for its rental fleet. Initially, Ziegler exclusively sold a competitor’s trailers, but the collaboration with Towmaster gained momentum when Ziegler placed its first stock trailer order in October 2014. Over the years, Towmaster trailers have consistently gained traction, especially after Ziegler's sales team recognized the value of pairing their machine sales with the right trailer. This realization led to even more sales growth. In 2018, Ziegler took its commitment a step further by retailing trailers under 60,000 pounds exclusively through Towmaster, cementing the two companies’ mutually beneficial partnership.

What makes Ziegler continue to choose Towmaster trailers after all these years? Bret Taylor, currently a Regional Account Manager at Towmaster and formerly a Ziegler CAT employee, knows better than anyone, and while there are numerous reasons, he narrows it down to the three most important:

  1. Quality and Durability

For Caterpillar customers, Towmaster trailers outperform the competition because They’re designed well and built to last. From the initial stages of fabrication to the final stages of quality control, the team is dedicated to excellence in construction.

  1. Service and Warranty After the Sale

Towmaster’s post-sale customer service and warranty support are head and shoulders above the competition. The Towmaster team is always willing to resolve issues in the best interest of the customer.

  1. Consistent and Reliable Lead Times and Deliveries

The trailers are built and delivered when promised. Towmaster’s dedication to timeliness and reliability not only emphasizes the company’s professionalism, but also solidifies its reputation as a trusted partner in the industry.

“Ziegler has sold over 1,200 Towmaster trailers since we started working together,” says Bret Taylor. “It’s definitely a mark of our quality.”

Partners for the Foreseeable Future

Ziegler continues to work with Towmaster, providing its end users with American-made trailers that promise quality, durability, and consistency. It’s not just a business deal anymore – it’s a true partnership!
