ViperLite emerged from decades of hands-on trailer manufacturing in Streator,. Founder Luis Castaneda, who co-founded Trailer Manufacturing with his brother Carlos in 2006, established it a reputable name in dump trailers through dedication, welding skills, and a passion engineering. After years of trailer construction and his experiences on the road, Luis recognized a greater opportunity to innovate. In 2018, he launched LAC Welding and the Viper brand, driven by a clear vision to design, stronger, and smarter dump trailers that surpass all competitors. By completely reimagining the quarter-frame and full-frame designs, on superior reinforcements, optimal empty weight for maximum payloads, and real-world durability, ViperLite provides equipment that contractors, farmers, and haulers depend on job after job. Today, from our Streator facility, we craft fully custom trailers, offer expert repairs and rebuilds, and innovation for the future. Built tougher. Built lighter. Built better.
