Chieftain Trailers

Chieftain was founded by John D Quinn who’s passion for engineering was evident at a very early age.

Initially John had developed an Industrial Loader, however at a customer’s request, he turned his attentions to designing and manufacturing machines for Ireland’s peat industry. When the peat industry started to decline, John continued his commitment to developing products for those that built, transformed and cultivated the land. In the beginning, Chieftain specialised in the production of tractor drawn low loaders and dump trailers. Then in the early 90’s Chieftain entered the commercial truck drawn market with their first commercial drawbar low loader. Chieftain’s commitment to Research and Development soon saw the introduction of trailers for Fuel transport, Waste and Recycling, Rail, Forestry and other highly specialised industries. Chieftain use their knowledge and expertise in the design and manufacture of their product range making them the professional choice.
