Backwoods

Trailers
Backwoods Enterprises builds trailers under the
'Scott Equipment Company' brand name.

'Scott Equipment Company' is the Massachusetts branch of my business that I founded almost 20 years ago, and is the name my trailers are registered under with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.

This page highlights some of the trailers I have designed and built. I have no 'standard' trailer product line, as all my trailers are custom built to customer specifications. I take particular pride in the fact that my trailers are no more costly than what is offered by any other trailer manufacturer, but are built so that the customer gets the trailer they need without having to modify it in any way, right from the start. This was the reason I started building trailers in the first place; I had people bringing me trailers they had just purchased so I could modify them into what they really wanted.

Unless specified otherwise by the customer, I use TorFlex axles to eliminate springs, shackles, hangers and other 'high wear' suspension items. These axles also offer better ride quality and longer service life than a conventional
leaf spring axle suspension.

Additionally, all trailers are constructed utilizing structural steel frames and crossmember components; there are NO formed or bent sheet metal structural members on any trailer I build... If you want mechanically formed, light-weight steel in your trailer, go somewhere else! I will offer a customer just about anything imaginable, but low quality, UNSAFE construction is not one of them.

Standard Features of All My Trailers:

All wiring is contained in tubing
All lighting conforms to current D.O.T. standards
New structural steel utilized in all frame components
Dexter TorFlex Axles
New, (not used) radial tires
All welding conforms to AWS standards and guidelines

Detail of the 'Trailer-Tamer' Suspension as viewed from under the trailer. Shown in tilted position. This suspension allows an equal amount of pressure to be exerted on both axles at all times, no matter what position the trailer is in. The result is superior ride quality and extended tire and axle life.
