Ervin buys 2,000
trailers for resale
JB Hunt will deliver the 2,000 units to multiple locations across Ervin Equipment’s network across North
America.
Toledo, Ohio-based Ervin
Equipment has purchased
2,000 pre-owned Wabash
Duraplate trailers from JB
Hunt Transport, with a plan to
sell them through its network
of 12 locations.
Jeff Weber, Ervin’s vice
president of sales and
marketing, said that because
Ervin can store equipment
in or close to customers’
facilities, the Wabash
trailers will be a staple in a
variety of storage and basic
cartage applications for
manufacturers, particularly
those that perform short,
regional hauls.
“It has become difficult to
obtain pre-owned equipment
in and around a desired
location in a short period of
time, but our company was
founded to address these
glitches,” he said.
Ervin Equipment also has
been named the official dealer
of new Talbert Manufacturing
trailers in South Texas and
Mexico.
Ervin has a facility in
Laredo, TX and has been
growing in international sales
through its three locations in
Mexico, the company said.

Ridewell Suspensions has
launched the new RAR-266 Series
trailer air ride suspension, a com-
pletely new product designed to
provide an optimal balance of light
weight and value. A 5 ¾-inch
large diameter axle with short
brake cams is used to minimize
weight and increase strength. The
captured axle design ensures a
durable axle connection and is an
important part of the strength of
the overall assembly. Initial offer-
ings include both narrow and wide
pivot bushing models as well as
23k and 25k capacities.
