Transwest Teams with Versatran to Present the Retriever

Transwest, a renowned commercial vehicle manufacturer, is working with Versatran, a division of Metalcraft of Mayville, to offer customers across the country one of the best products to enter the transport industry in 60 years, the Versatran Retriever.

Transwest is thrilled to work with Versatran to present the Retriever line of industrial carriers, one of the most exciting transport industry developments in recent years. Versatran was acquired by Metalcraft of Mayville in 2019, which broadened the product families already offered by the company and enabled Versatran to establish itself as a world-class industrial transporter manufacturer.

First developed in 2002, the Retriever line provides an innovative method for loading and transporting various types of equipment. The Retriever boasts an air operated curved platform, fast cycle times, idle-free system operation, fantastic hauling capacity, as well as a deck featuring a low center of gravity and the shallowest loading angle in the industry.

What’s more, the Retriever’s nimble design and rapid deck and ramp deployment are bound to increase daily deliveries. Versatran cites Retriever efficiencies improving owner returns by $60K+ per year.

Dan Nissen, Versatran’s director of Sales, states: “The Versatran team is excited to partner with Transwest to represent our Retriever brand in the marketplace. Our companies share many similarities in terms of our culture, keeping our promises, as well as our core values. We believe this partnership will benefit both of our companies, and we look forward to many years of success in supporting the hauling and transport needs of our customers.”

Brian Bata, Transwest’s General Sales Manager, adds: “The Retriever is a tremendous product and the people that manufacture it are even better. We are proud of the partnership we have formed and we couldn’t be more excited for the trucks to hit the streets.”

Transwest now offers the Retriever 20T and 15T models across the country. The group will also take part in launching Versatran’s eagerly anticipated non-cdl 6T model early next year. For more information, visit transwest.com.
