SmithCo Mfg. Inc., an industry leader in side dump trailer design and manufacturing, has reached an agreement with Vander Haag's Inc. to sell SmithCo's premium line of side dump trailers.

Vander Haag's, headquartered in Spencer, Iowa, will be an authorized SmithCo Dealer in parts of Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.

"Vander Haag's continues to expand their service capabilities as well as their trailer sales," said Todd Karolczak, SmithCo's director of sales and marketing. "They have been buying used SmithCo trailers for a long time. We are looking for dealers that are positioned for significant growth in new side dump trailer sales along with SmithCo, and that makes Vander Haag's a nice fit for our dealer network."
