with Industrial Wood Technology (IWT), the manufacturer of
Blackwood Lumber, in January and began preparing for the May
rollout.
SUNDOWNER TRAILERS ACCELERATES
EXPANSION INTO THE MOTORSPORTS MARKET
As Sundowner continues to be mindful of dealer and consumer
requests and diversifies to meet their needs, they have been
overwhelmingly welcomed into new markets. Followed by an
extremely positive response to the Sundowner ProGrade Toy
Haulers was the Xtra Series Transporter with a sleek edgy look
that fit the motorsport audience perfectly. From there, they began
further research and development focusing on the motorsports
community.
“We’re excited to offer this great new option to our customers,”
said National Director of Sales for Big Tex Trailers, Johnathan
Bradley.
IWT manufactures Blackwood Lumber using the highest quality
lumber, infused with industrial grade rubber. This patent pending
product provides superior traction on any surface it’s applied to.
Even in wet conditions, Blackwood Lumber prevents slipping and
makes loading equipment safer and easier.
“When considering partners to help us provide innovative and
creative solutions and features for our products, we look for
companies that produce quality products and provide excellent
customer service,” Bradley said. “We feel that IWT exemplifies
those qualities and look forward to a long partnership with them.”
Along with increased traction, the rubber infusion absorbs heavy
impact and protects the surface of the board from weathering.
This makes Blackwood Lumber stronger and longer lasting than
typical decking.
Blackwood Lumber is ideal for any surface that benefits from
added traction, strength and durability. This includes boat docks
and residential, commercial and industrial ramps and decks, as well
as flatbed and livestock trailers.
