DURABILITY IS OUR PRIORITY
A HISTORY OF DORSEY
In 1911, the folks in Elba, Alabama started this company; they set out to build the most durable custom trailers on the market. Today, Dorsey’s vision remains the same.
1911
It all started in a converted livery stable located in Elba, Alabama. Pete and Henry Dorsey opened a small machine shop to repair the power saws, boilers and trucks of the booming timber business. They soon started designing and building their own products.
1920
By 1920 the little company that started off in a stable had moved into a large building and were producing 25 to 30 logging units a day.
1930
By 1930, Dorsey engineers had developed the company’s first commercial freight trailers. Dorsey’s sales increased every year, even during the depression, and by the end of the decade truckers coast-to-coast identified the trade name “Dorsey” with durability and safety.
