About Turmanator
Trailer & Ironworks

Every Turmanator trailer starts with time on the water.

From Texas to Montana, and everywhere in between, I grew up fishing — with my dad and brothers, wherever we landed. Years later, that never really changed. I was still chasing water, just with a kayak strapped to a beat-up utility trailer that was never built for the job. Tie-downs that failed. Racks that rattled loose. Gear that shifted every time the road got rough.

I got tired of fighting equipment that wasn't built for how I actually lived — so I started building my own. That's where Turmanator came from: not a business plan, but a garage full of steel and a refusal to keep settling for trailers that weren't made for Montana country or the people who live in it.

Today, every trailer we build — from the T-1 Talon to the T-X Outpost — is still hand-built, one at a time, right here in Helena. No assembly line, no cookie-cutter builds. Just steel, sweat, and the same standard I wanted back when I was rigging kayaks on a trailer that couldn't keep up.

As Lead Designer and Builder, I touch every build myself — from concept to the frame, the wiring, the fit and finish. When you buy a Turmanator trailer, you're not buying off a lot. You're getting something built by someone who's hauled the same gear on the same waters, and knows what it actually takes to get there and back.
