TEC Equipment Welcomes Stoughton Trailers

At TEC Equipment, we don’t add new equipment partners lightly. Every product we represent needs to align with our values and deliver real, measurable value to our customers in the field. That’s why we’re proud to welcome Stoughton Trailers as our newest trailer partner.

This partnership allows us to continue offering some of the most durable, thoughtfully engineered trailers on the market while staying true to what matters most to our customers: uptime, longevity, and total cost of ownership.

TEC Equipment and Stoughton Trailers share more than decades of industry experience; we share a family-owned foundation and a long-term approach to business. Both organizations prioritize craftsmanship, accountability, and relationships that extend well beyond the point of sale.

That alignment matters. It influences how trailers are designed, how issues are addressed, and how customers are supported throughout the life of their equipment. Stoughton’s reputation for building trailers that hold up in demanding operations mirrors TEC’s commitment to delivering equipment customers can rely on year after year.

Stoughton trailers are engineered with a clear focus on durability, structural integrity, and serviceability. These are not design choices made for brochures. They are made for fleets and owner operators that load heavy, cycle frequently, and expect their trailers to last.

Stoughton dry vans feature an exclusive Super-Sill design combined with premium solid oak flooring. The increased thickness of the Super-Sill bottom flange creates stronger joints and improved welds at critical attachment points. When paired with staggered screw patterns and sealed flooring joints, the result is a floor system rated for 22,000 pounds, one of the highest standard forklift ratings in the industry.

For customers running dense freight or operating in warehouse-intensive environments, this directly translates into fewer floor failures and longer service life.

Stoughton trailers are built with a heavy-duty, fully galvanized 3.5-inch AAR-rated front coupler featuring a thicker bottom plate than many competitive designs. A reinforced front lip and wrap-around apron absorb impacts and scrapes more effectively, reducing front-end damage and repair frequency.

Stoughton uses six steel nose posts rather than four, tied together with a steel angle at the base. This design improves impact resistance and makes front-end repairs more straightforward when damage does occur.

One of Stoughton’s most distinctive dry van features is its Dual Tensioned Roof system. Unlike roof designs that rely primarily on adhesive, Stoughton mechanically tensions the roof sheet in multiple directions. This helps prevent loose roof areas that can puddle, oil-can, or crack over time, especially in regions with heavy rain or temperature swings.

The result is improved long-term weather resistance and fewer roof-related issues as trailers age.

Stoughton hot-dip galvanizes key steel components, including frame sections, slider boxes, and rear underride guards. This process significantly improves corrosion resistance and reduces the need for paint refurbishment. For customers operating in coastal regions or high-moisture environments, galvanized components help extend trailer life while lowering maintenance demands.

The industrial rear structure on Stoughton trailers features reinforced light boxes, heavy-duty crash bars, and a galvanized rear frame tied directly into the floor and multiple cross members. This design strengthens one of the most damage-prone areas of a trailer and improves durability in tight dock and yard conditions.

For temperature-controlled operations, Stoughton’s PureBlue refrigerated trailers reflect the same attention to detail and long-term value. Advanced insulation processes, bonded side posts, composite rear doors, and corrosion-resistant components work together to improve thermal efficiency while reducing overall trailer weight.

These design choices help reduce reefer run time, protect sensitive cargo, and improve payload capacity, all while maintaining durability and serviceability.

Adding Stoughton Trailers to our lineup strengthens our ability to offer equipment that performs across a wide range of applications, from dry freight to temperature-controlled hauling. More importantly, it ensures our customers have access to trailers built with the same mindset TEC applies to everything we sell: engineered for uptime, supported for the long haul.

TEC Equipment backs Stoughton Trailers with our full dealership network, including experienced sales teams, parts availability, and service support throughout the U.S. Customers can expect the same level of support they rely on today, now paired with another top-tier trailer option.
