Featherlite Trailers’ custom cooler option sure to please caterers, event planners

August 13, 2010 Off By Roberta Johnston

How do you improve on a standard cooler trailer? If you are Featherlite Trailers, you add one simple ingredient-Featherlite Quality.

“Event planners, caterers and anyone who hosts an outdoor event are going to be thrilled with the features a Featherlite offers,” Randy Lewis, Featherlite’s National Sales Manager, said, “We’re going to move an entirely new group of customers ahead of the curve.”

The Model 1610’s custom cooler option comes with a 1.5 ton split refrigeration system, with insulated walls and double rear doors to help maintain the temperature. A heavy-duty 36″ wide 2″ double sealed curbside door allows for easier access. A 4′ cold weather fluorescent light fixture makes locating cargo easy.

What customers will really notice, however, are the standard features of every Featherlite trailer. All-aluminum construction means a light, durable, corrosion-resistant trailer with an eight-year transferable limited warranty. The .040″ aluminum siding is 25 percent thicker than other trailers’ .030″ siding. This lets the Model 1610 stand up better to wear and tear. In addition, the Featherlite Advantage interior wooden panels repel moisture. A latex layer beneath the paneling provides even more moisture protection and prevents warping.

“Events like parties, festivals and even weddings can really take their toll on the standard event trailer,” Randy Lewis, Featherlite’s National Sales Manager, said. “When the cooler trailer is a Featherlite though, you have a trailer that can stand up to years of hard work.”

The Model 1610 also benefits its owners when on the road. To aid in hauling, Featherlite has outfitted all its bumper pull trailers with new couplers. These have a higher load rating and feature an easier hookup that enhances coupler engagement. In addition, Featherlite’s new pin LED clearance lights shine brighter, giving trailer owners greater visibility on the road at night.

The Model 1610 custom cooler option and all 2011 models are available for order at any one of Featherlite’s 180 dealerships. For more information about all of Featherlite’s 2011 products and features, visit Featherlite online at www.fthr.com/tnews or call 1-800-800-1230.
