What we see from the New Paris market
New Paris is rural through and through. Farm trailers, equipment haulers, and livestock trailers are nearly everything we service from this area. The town's Amish and Mennonite community also brings in horse and buggy-related trailer hardware - couplers, lights, and small utility running gear.
New Paris farm trailers see hard, irregular loads. The single most common failure we see from this area is bearing failure from missed service intervals - a trailer used heavily for three weeks of harvest, parked for months, and pulled out again next season without inspection. Yearly bearing service prevents almost every roadside failure we see.
