WITH SCHUTT INDUSTRIES' XVENTURE OFF-ROAD
trailer, roughing it becomes considerably easier.
Founded in 1998, Clintonville-based Schutt Industries has established
itself as a leading manufacturer of military trailers and cargo handling
equipment. e company knows the use and abuse military equipment
endures, and it took that engineering expertise and carried it over to a
commercial line of trailers.
"at same construction and durability is something we've transferred into
those product lines," says Steve Schutt, vice president of sales and operations.
XVENTURE trailers cater to overland, off-road professionals and
enthusiasts as well as campers. No ordinary trailer, the XVENTURE
features a military-grade suspension, promises a smooth ride, and boasts a
2,000-pound-plus payload capacity that can haul motorcycles and ATVs.
Schutt says the trailers have allowed the company to diversify. What started
as a vision for a simple commercial trailer has grown, he says, and customers
today want a one-stop shop and a system versus a trailer.
Offering customizable options, adventurers can set up a tent to sleep
atop the trailer and cook below on the trailer's well-appointed galley
kitchen. Going forward, Schutt sees limitless possibilities with innovations
and technology.
