CFT Trailers

CFT Trailers is a Canadian manufacturer specializing in custom truck bodies and trailers, with a particular focus on the beverage distribution industry. Operating under the domain cfttrailers.com (formerly rcft.ca), the company delivers a comprehensive range of manufacturing, repair, remanufacturing, and reconditioning services designed to optimize fleet performance and reduce operational costs for logistics and distribution businesses.

The company's flagship product line, CFT-BEV trailers, represents an innovative approach to beverage trailer design. These units are engineered to boost productivity, reduce operating and maintenance costs, minimize workplace accidents, and improve driver safety and retention. CFT-BEV trailers are positioned as a forward-thinking solution for operators seeking measurable operational improvements.

In 2023, CFT Trailers acquired Hesse Trailers, a well-established brand known as the original beverage trailer in the industry. Hesse trailers are celebrated for their reliability, durability, and ergonomic design, offering a classic aesthetic with superior detailing and finish. The acquisition expanded CFT's product portfolio, allowing the company to serve both innovation-driven customers and those seeking proven, time-tested equipment.

Beyond new trailer manufacturing, CFT Trailers offers an extensive suite of aftermarket and fleet management services. Its repair and modification division handles custom adjustments tailored to client specifications. The Remanufacturing ECO2 program reflects an ecological approach to fleet renewal, extending the service life of existing trailers while reducing costs and environmental impact. The reconditioning program similarly delivers enhanced performance, durability, and longevity at a fraction of replacement cost.

The company maintains an inventory of over 4,000 parts and accessories, carrying brands including Hackney, Mickey, Parco-Hesse, and its own CFT label, making it a one-stop shop for fleet operators. CFT also offers used vehicle sourcing, fleet assessment services, and flexible financing options through a strategic partnership, enabling clients to purchase, repair, or refurbish units with competitive and streamlined financing.

CFT Trailers' in-house Research and Development team continuously works to innovate designs, improve materials, and develop solutions for challenges that do not yet have market-available answers. The company positions itself as a solution-oriented partner, collaborating directly with clients to create bespoke products and approaches. This custom engineering capability distinguishes CFT from standard trailer manufacturers and appeals to operators with unique or evolving fleet requirements.

Geographically based in Canada and serving the North American market, CFT Trailers targets fleet operators in the beverage distribution, logistics, and transportation sectors. The company's value proposition centers on innovation, craftsmanship, cost efficiency, and a commitment to driver safety and operational excellence.
