Where is E & R Trailer Sales & Service located?
E & R Trailer Sales & Service has two convenient locations in northwest Ohio — Middle Point and Lima. Both locations feature trailer sales, a heavy-duty parts department, and a professional trailer repair service shop with trained mechanics on site.
We proudly serve customers throughout Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky, including the greater Lima, Findlay, Toledo, Dayton, Columbus, and Fort Wayne areas. Whether you are buying a new trailer, stocking up on parts, or need service work done, E & R Trailer is your one-stop trailer shop.
What brands of trailers do you sell?
E & R Trailer Sales & Service carries new Timpte Grain Hopper Trailers and MAC Trailers, including MAC Flatbeds and MAC Dump Trailers — two of the most trusted names in the commercial trailer industry. We also sell Doonan and Muv-All trailers.
We carry a wide selection of used trailers of all makes, including Wilson Grain Trailers and Timpte Grain Trailers and EBY Grain Trailers. Whether you need a new commodity trailer fresh off the lot or a quality pre-owned unit, our sales team will help you find the right trailer for your operation at the right price.
How long has E & R Trailer been in the grain hopper trailer business?
E & R Trailer Sales & Service has been serving the agricultural and commercial hauling industry for nearly 70 years — making us one of the most experienced hopper trailer dealers in the Midwest.
We started as a Chamberlin dealer, sold Wilson Grain Trailers for over 40 years, and in 2025 added Timpte to our lineup. That depth of experience means our team understands hopper trailers from the ground up — the specs, the wear points, the repairs, and what farmers and owner-operators actually need in the field. When it comes to hopper trailers, we are The Trailer Experts.
Can I buy truck and trailer parts online from E & R Trailer?
Yes. E & R Trailer Sales & Service now offers online parts ordering through our e-commerce parts store. Customers throughout Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, and across the country can shop our inventory of heavy-duty truck and trailer parts online.
Our online store carries parts for a wide range of makes and models, including Timpte, MAC, Wilson, Great Dane and more — from brake components and tarp systems to suspension parts, lighting, wheel seals, and trailer accessories. If you are looking for a specific part, our online store makes it easy to find and order what you need without making a trip to the dealership.
For customers who prefer to shop in person, our parts departments remain fully stocked at both our Middle Point and Lima locations. And if you need help identifying the right part, our knowledgeable parts team is just a phone call away.

What makes E & R Trailer Sales & Service different from other trailer dealers?
E & R Trailer Sales & Service is Ohio's premier full-service trailer dealer — and we have nearly 70 years of experience to back that up.
We offer a quality lineup that covers every major hauling need: Timpte Grain Hoppers for those who demand lightweight performance and maximum payload, MAC Flatbeds for versatile heavy-duty hauling, and MAC Dump Trailers built for the toughest jobs. Add Doonan and Muv-All to the mix and we have one of the most well-rounded trailer lineups in the region.
But what truly sets us apart is our depth of service. We are not just a sales lot — we are a full-service operation with two locations, trained service technicians, and a stocked parts department ready to support your equipment long after the sale.
We are trailer specialists and we know hopper trailers, flatbeds, van trailers and dump trailers inside and out — because it is all we do. Whether you are buying your first trailer or your fifteenth, you will work with people who know your name and stand behind what they sell.
Two locations. Nearly 70 years of experience. A lineup built for farmers, owner-operators, and commercial fleets. That is the E & R difference.
