Titan Trailers Adds Ocean Trailer as Distributor

Ocean Trailer Inc., based in Coquitlam, British Columbia, has been appointed the exclusive distributor for Titan Trailers, Delhi, Ontario, for the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Sid Keay, president of Ocean Trailer, says, “Titan Trailers is a line we have coveted for many years. When we heard that there might be opportunity to become their western dealer, I called right away.”

Keay established Ocean Trailer as a trailer rental business in 1981. The firm grew quickly and later developed its sales business as an authorized dealer for a large U.S.-based trailer manufacturer. Ocean Trailer now represents several major trailer brands through five branches in British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba. The firm’s sales, leasing, rental and trailer service operations now employ more than 220 people and it has a rental/lease fleet of more than 8,000 units.

“Until now, we have had no walking floors in our fleet,” Keay says. “The big U.S. manufacturers don’t custom build for Canadian payloads and road limits. And they don’t do any ‘one-offs’ for special applications, the way Titan does. We have customers who really need trailers specially built for what’s legal in Canada so they can operate efficiently.”

Mike Kloepfer, president of Titan Trailers, says, We’re looking forward to a strong, long-term relationship with Ocean Trailer. They have an excellent service reputation throughout the West. Sid Keay has a real appreciation of what we are trying to do at Titan; I have no doubt that he and his people will do a great job taking our story to customers and backing it up.”

Titan Trailers offers a complete line of trailers using design and manufacturing technologies based on the patented Thinwall extruded aluminum panel.
