Welcome to B&A Trailers, where craftsmanship, partnership, and stewardship converge to create exceptional trailers and an unparalleled customer experience. My name is Benjamin McElrath, and I am proud to serve as the owner and president of operations at B&A Trailers.
Our journey began in 2003 when my father, Mike McElrath, founded the company. His legacy in trailer manufacturing dates back to the establishment of McElrath Trailers in 1985. I joined my father's side in 1999 at the age of 12, and by 2004, at just shy of my 18th birthday, I had already committed to working full-time. In 2016, with my father's well-deserved retirement, I assumed the role of owner and president, inheriting not only the business but also a wealth of experience – together, we boast a combined 60 years in the industry.
Having immersed myself in every aspect of the business, from welding and painting to cleaning restrooms, I've developed a profound understanding and appreciation for the art of building quality trailers. This hands-on experience has equipped me to navigate the multifaceted dimensions of running an admirable business.
Beyond the workshop, I am a devoted husband to Lauren and a father of five – Judah, Luke, Daniel, Ella Kate, and Gabriel (not yet pictured). When I'm not crafting trailers, you'll find me cherishing moments with my family or engaging with my local church community. One of my greatest pleasures is hosting a weekly cigar and guys' night at my home – a testament to the importance of support and relaxation in the midst of managing a business.
At B&A Trailers, we prioritize the following values that set us apart. 1) Stewardship is recognizing our responsibility to thoughtfully manage the resources entrusted to us by God. 2) Partnership is ingrained in our philosophy, fostering collaboration with our team members, customers, dealers, and vendors to invest mutual resources and add value to one another. 3) Craftsmanship is our commitment to pursue innovative excellence and unrivaled quality in every facet of our organization, from design and production to the services we provide.
Our core values are encapsulated in three hashtags that define our mission: #stewardship, #partnership, and #craftsmanship.
We believe that by upholding these values, we not only provide outstanding products and experiences but also bring glory to God.
So, as you consider your trailer needs, we invite you to partner with us. Choose craftsmanship and long-term value over the cheapest price, choose personal experience and customization over sales pitches and standardization, and choose partnership that transcends disconnected business deals.
We look forward to the opportunity to serve you, meet you, and exceed your expectations. Thank you for considering B&A Trailers.
Warmest Regards,
Benjamin McElrath
Owner - President
