The manufacturer is a sister company of Wiers International, a truckdealership in Plymouth, Indiana. Wiers Manufacturing builds the vehicles ina 50,000-sq-ft shop at the International dealership. Toters are Class 6, Class 7, or Class 8 tractors modified by Wiers forpulling manufactured housing such as single-, double-wide or sectionalhousing, says Tom Wiers, president of Wiers Manufacturing Inc and WiersInternational Trucks Inc. Equipment installed on Toter tractors normallyincludes a hitch available in three different models, a mirror assemblywith three different power options, and a small, bin-type truck body forcarrying spare tires for mobile homes and tool boxes. Another customized truck built by Wiers is the Towmaster, which is acustomized low-profile Navistar chassis with a crew cab for pullingrecreational vehicles. "We're expanding our dealer network because of requests from Totercustomers and sales growth of 25% to 30% over the last four years forToters," Wiers says. "Wiers plans to have nationwide distribution and isdrastically increasing production of the Toter and Towmaster." Each year, Wiers and its dealers sell about 300 Toters and 150 Towmasters,says Matt Garver, information technology manager at Wiers. The Toter isused only to transport manufactured housing units. Wiers has already signed up about 20 Toter dealers in the southwestern,southern, and southeastern United States, Garver says. All factory branchesof Fontaine Truck Equipment carry Wiers Toter kits that have all theequipment Wiers installs on tractors modified in its shop. Toter International TrucksThe tractors usually have a 136- to 146-inch wheelbase and a single-driveaxle, Wiers says. Most of the tractors are specified with a 300- to 400-hpengine. As the weight of manufactured housing continues to increase, somenew tractors are using tandem drive axles. "Some of the units Toters transport weigh up to 40,000 lb," Wiers says."The largest single-wides measure 16 by 80 feet, and in Texas they can beup to 20 feet wide." Sideview mirror assemblies on the trucks are eight feet wide in the stowedposition and telescope to an overall length of 18 to 20 feet for the largerhomes allowed in Texas, Wiers says. The telescoping mirrors are offered aselectrically powered, manually operated, or hydraulically powered. Yellowflashing lightbars are mounted in the center on top of the mirrortelescopes. Toters are primarily purchased by transporters or manufactured homedealers, Wiers says. A transporter delivers manufactured homes from thefactory to the dealer's lot. This generally only requires a two-way ballhitch that moves up and down hydraulically. Multi-Directional HitchesManufactured home dealers and their contractors use more sophisticatedhitches with mobile homes, Garver says. These multi-directional hitches areused on Toter trucks to set a mobile home on a concrete pad or footings. Besides the basic two-way hitch used by transporters, these hydraulichitches come in a four-way and six-way model, Garver says. The hitches areoffered in a Magnum version with 40 inches of left-and-right travel or aSuper version with 22 inches of left-and-right travel. The four- and six-way hitches have a High-Tower option with a two-stagelift that increases the up-and-down movement of the hitch to 72 inches,Garver says. A four-way hitch has vertical and lateral travel. Four- and six-way hitches move laterally on three-inch diameterhigh-tensile steel bars built into the rear frame of the hitch, he says. Inaddition to four-way movement, a six-way hydraulic hitch moves in and out20 inches from the rear of the chassis frame. The hitch frame extends six feet from the rear, forward on top of thechassis frame rails and is built to handle heavy weight, Garver says. TheMagnum six-way hitch has up to 60,000 pounds of pushing or pulling power. High-Tower Hitch OptionThe six-way hitch, 72-inch tower, and six-ft frame extension are needed todeliver and set trailer homes on hillsides or in deep hollows, he says.This configuration for Toters is popular in southern states where manymanufactured homes are often placed in hilly, rural areas. Wiers began building Toters in 1982, and is near many of its customersbecause of the concentration of manufactured housing plants in Elkhart,Indiana, Wiers says. Part of the demand for Toters is because an increasingnumber of first-time home buyers are purchasing manufactured homes. "About 25% of first-time buyers are purchasing manufactured homes," Wiers says. Sales of Towmasters, the other major product line of Wiers Manufacturing,also are increasing, Wiers says. Towmasters are built on an International4700 low-profile crew-cab chassis and offered to International dealersthrough Navistar. Demand is increasing for Towmasters because of their automotive appeal inthe recreational vehicle industry, says Jan Anderson, a Towmastersalesperson at Wiers. The trucks have an upgraded, customized cab interiorand 23-ft turning radius, which is tighter than most dual-wheel pickuptrucks. Towmaster Recreational TruckThe demand for a heavy-duty recreational towing vehicle has never beenadequately filled until Wiers introduced the Towmaster in 1990, Andersonsays. Many Towmaster customers are at least 60 years old and purchasing atruck similar to the Towmaster would be difficult were it not offered as acomplete package. "The Towmaster is marketed primarily as a product similar to the FordExpedition because of its automotive appeal," Anderson says. Most Towmasters have an Allison MD-3060-P automatic transmission and a275-hp diesel engine that generate pulling capacity with 800 foot-pounds oftorque, Anderson says. This power is needed to pull recreational trailersthat can weigh up to 25,000 lb and are furnished with washers and dryers,solid wood trim, and full-size appliances such as refrigerators. "The Towmaster provides the horsepower and braking needed to pull today'sfifthwheel recreational vehicles," Anderson says. Because new recreational vehicle trailers are heavier, about 80% of thetrailers that are 34-ft long will overload one-ton pickup trucks, many ofwhich are rated to only pull 14,000 lb, Anderson says. Any recreationalvehicle trailer 35-ft long will overload a one-ton pickup truck. Besides recreational vehicles, the Towmaster is well suited for pullinggooseneck or fifthwheel trailers, Garver says. However, most are purchasedfor pulling recreational vehicles. "Occasionally, we pick customers up at their house who've purchased aTowmaster, sold everything, and moved into a recreational vehicle trailer,"Wiers says. "The Towmaster is built more for a way of life." Want to use this article? Click here for options! © 2006 Prism Business Media Inc.
