Peanut drying semi-trailers

Drying trailers built to outlast the harvest.

We've built and converted nearly 10,000 semi-trailers since 1995 — and when one goes down mid-season, our Vienna shop gets it back to work fast.

Or call 434-209-4042 — you'll reach someone in Vienna.

The APT peanut trailer

The "super-trailer," refined since 2003.

We started converting trailers when a customer asked for 100 of them. Two decades later every build still gets the upgrades we'd want on our own fleet — strength and performance at a fair price.

Our story

From one order of 100 to an industry standard.

Properly built and inspected semi-trailers closed a real safety gap in peanut drying equipment. That's still the job: innovation, safety, efficiency and profitability for the people who run them.

Come kick the tires in Vienna.

The best way to judge a drying trailer is to stand next to one. Stop by the yard, see builds in progress, and talk specs with the people who make them.
