Fruehauf Trailer Corporation, previously Fruehauf Trailer Company (1918-1963) and Fruehauf Corporation (1963-1989),[1] was an American company engaged in the manufacture and sale of truck trailers, and other machinery and equipment, with headquarters located in Detroit, Michigan. It was founded in 1918 in Detroit, after August Fruehauf created the semi-trailer and launched a new industry. The Fruehauf trailer company introduced revolutionary inventions to trucking and transportation with hydraulic dump trailers, bulk tanker trailers, and automatic fifth-wheel couplings among their more than one thousand patents, including the shipping container in 1956. Expanding across the country, Fruehauf had 16 plants and more than 80 distributorships for parts and service. Globally, the company expanded into Europe, South America, and Asia.
Following a proxy battle in the late 1980s the company filed for bankruptcy protection in 1997. International divisions became independent, U.S. subsidiaries such as Kelsey Hayes, Pro-Par, Budd Wheels, and Hobbs were sold; Wabash National acquired the crippled company in 1997.
The company's founder, August Charles Fruehauf (1868-1930), was born in Fraser, Michigan, the son of Sophia and Charles Fruehauf.[2][3] He began his career as a Detroit-area blacksmith and carriage builder. In 1914, a local businessman named Frederic M. Sibley asked Fruehauf to build a trailer that could be towed behind a Ford Model T and transport a boat to upper Michigan. Fruehauf successfully built the device, and Sibley requested he build additional trailers for use on his lumber yard.[4] Fruehauf would call them "semi-trailers", and his product proved popular. In 1918, he incorporated his business as the Fruehauf Trailer Company.[1][5][6]
The semi-trailers soon demonstrated their practicality and orders came in from competing lumber dealers and any manufacturer who wanted to expand their customer base. Closed van trailers were designed and put into service. Industries such as dairy and fuel oil were revolutionized with this "go-anywhere" type of transportation. Capitalizing on August Fruehauf's slogan, "a horse can pull more than it can carry, so can a truck", the company continued to grow.
The St. Louis plant
Fruehauf developed semi-trailers for use in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. Developing more than 150 patents for military products alone, these were eventually introduced into commercial use. Among them were early versions of the shipping container used on some U.S. railroads and, after 1956, on the ships of Pan-Atlantic Steamship Co., the ship line controlled by container pioneer Malcom McLean and later known as Sea-Land. Fruehauf contributed to the creation of the American Trucking Association and was instrumental in the creation of the interstate highway system as advisors to President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Fruehauf purchased competing companies to acquire distribution, new technology, or geographic advantages. Warner-Fruehauf in Baltimore, Hobbs from Texas, and Strick in the Midwest. On February 28, 1947, the Fruehauf Corporation purchased the Carter Manufacturing Company. Carter was started in 1927 and based in Memphis, Tennessee, with another location in Birmingham, Alabama. The Carter Manufacturing Company was involved in the manufacturing of trailers from the Carter plant. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
The last time I seen these beer 🍻 trucks model kits on the store shelf's was back in 1980 I had the Coors beer truck freightliner tractor truck with the trailer great to see these coming back
Chris, the large piece of plastic that said, "For Decals" on it, was for transferring the large decals onto the model. Similar to a "palette" for painters. Extra step I thought but I'm sure it kept some folks from ruining large decals!
Chris, great build! With the moveable axles one trick I added to the air lines was to add a very weak spring to keep tension on them. That way you can move the axle and not have your air lines drooping. I know that's not in the box; but it's an easy extra to add.
The real trailers had the spring on the airlines.
Oh yea, that is on my build list!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Throttle power+ build this kit with one of the 4070A transtar kits
@@dennisbisconti4583 That's a great idea Dennis!
Another awesome build and presentation as always! I really dig the aging paint tutorial for the sides and top of the trailer!! 👏👏👏👏
Another great video. The trailer looks great and I really like how the tandems are movable like the real ones.
The kit is so simple yet detailed and so unique. Great job around 2. Great kit to get the mojo going.
Awesome trailer Chris! Now I want this tractor trailer combo! Thanks for always keeping the hobby fun!
Like I mentioned in the Highlife Astro 95 build I'm a Highlife guy and the Astro 95 is one of my favorite rigs. I've been looking forward to this build and as always you do not disappoint. Keep up the good work Chris
Great build Chris as always....I can never learn enough watching you...my modeling skills are now way way better...thank you...
Miller trailer looks great Chris! Liked the pics at the end with the background.
Awesome build Chris! Love the Miller high life logo at the back too mate. Thanks for the weathering tips aswell. Have a great weekend mate. 😊👍
Look like it's Miller Time!! Great job with the decals, sometimes the big decals can be a pain.
Cool trick using a drill and socket to accent the tread on the tires. That’s awesome.
Cooll I like the way the wheels move back and forth im working on the Miller tractor
Those last four photos with the tractor, and trees in the background, look totally realistic!
Very neat! Great images of the tractor & trailer at the end!!
Great job , look good on the back of Astor .👍🏻👍🏻
Another GREAT build Thank You!
Been looking forward to this build ever since I saw the tractor unit. The combo looks great and I can use these weathering tips on a trailer I rediscovered recently whose color scheme I want to change.
I love these 18 wheeler kits.
Those outside pictures looked like a real truck! Coooool
This should be good. Miller High Life is my weapon of choice🍺
Chris+ I am thinking of buying one of these trailers and make one of my international transtar kits with this it would be cool another great build thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for another great video Chris, I watch your videos for tips and inspiration for my own kits. I saw the clip where you used gliserine to mimic grease on a fifth wheel, I decided to try black acrylic paint in a squeeze tube so it will dry. Put three small dabs of the paint on the fifth wheel then spread the paint around by dabbing and spreading with an old brush until you get the desired effect. Also with these Fruehauf trailers, if you don't glue the axles to the suspension subassembly while still gluing the track arms to the axles this will let the track arms hinge where they snap into the suspension subassembly, if that makes sense, and give you working suspension. It's a little fragile, but it might add some detail to the display. It might be a good idea to modify the track arms by replacing the stock locator pins with brass rod or wire.
Your use of pens and markers has inspired me to do the same. Another great build!
Awesome! Thank you!
Outstanding. TY.
Love it turned out great
Great build and video! Came out really well. I'm just finishing up my White Freightliner build, and I may pick one of these up to display with it. I probably won't use the miller decals but I'm sure I'll figure something out. Thanks, have a great day.
Looks great mate, goes perfectly with the tractor mate👍
Absolutely love watching these videos. I'm always amazed at the end result. I know you build as you want, but just thinking that the wheel hubs look kinda plain and maybe could use a little of your awesomeness? Great job, as always!
I love your builds Chris
Thanks Wes!
That cab goes perfect with thar trailer. Great build.
Thanks Don!
My bank account will shrink once again! Now I must purchase this kit.....great build up my friend!!! 😇👍🏼
Love the big rigs!!!
Amazing
Very nice work here. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Awesome I gotta have one!!!!
this kit came together really nicely. i paired it with the kenworth truck .. the blue one with the lightning on it
Wow, you really do good work.
Thank you very much!
hpiguy's Model Workshop 2021 This is my first time Commenting On your video's you did one fantastic job on building This Fruehauf trailer As to all your other awesome putting together all your other Kits.I watch all your video's They are really fine detailed kits 👍👍👍👍👍
Welcome aboard!
Just ordered the truck and trailer kits tonight ..... thanks for the video .....yours looks SHARP 😄👍❤🇺🇸
Thanks, enjoy!
I like it!
You must have at least 5000 sq feet of floor area in your house-- I imagine several rooms with floor to ceiling display cases. It must be nice to take a stroll through the aisles with a cold Miller in your hand, admiring all those fine models!
Now it's time for a Miller ! 🍺🍺🍺
I need to get these!
Awesome build
I'm glad you like it
Chris. As a truck mechanic for over 45 years, (Now Retired) the Glad Hand connections and lines on the front of the trailer should be Red and Blue. Red for the pressure side, and Blue for the return side. Just noticed that on this build.
Do they have a proper side for right or left, for supply and return? Or does it depend on the make of the trailer?
@@sczuylevch13 Yes. The left hand or outside of the trailer is RED (Supply). The Right hand is always BLUE (Return). This is the same for all trailers in North America.
@@charlestreadway6491 Thank you!
As usual, excellent job! One thing I'd like to throw in, On the trailer marker lights, The most rearward markers are red and all the lights forward are yellow. But I'm sure all the little plastic diorama dudes hardly notice!
I had a whole collection of these model trucks in the early 80s...
Easy weathering is very much what I require for such builds.
way cool
As usual, your closing pics don't look like models. Your photography is definitely improving.
I'm old enough that I remember when Miller was called "the champagne of *bottled* beers".
Great build as always, and another trip down memory lane.
Looks real.
WOOOOT!!
Chris, Now I'm thinking I NEED to purchase another build
Chris, sorry this is a little late. Great job building the trailer. My question is, how long is the trailer? I’ve got Smoky and the Bandit decals for a trailer and I’m hoping this could be long enough. Thanks
just a little tip for anyone biulding any van trailers , it you have italeri models , the tyre trees make for excellent rubber stops at the rear for rubber loading dock bumpstops ...just a little tip ..
Got to call you out (lol) the side markers should be amber with just the rear red. Just making a note. Love your videos, keep them coming, I'll keep watching.
LOL, yeah, I screwed up. Thanks!
Love it. Been waiting for this video. Got 2 on order. You da Man Chris. Keep em coming, I'll keep watching.
Me too!
Been waiting for this one! Great job as usual. Outdoor picture looks like the real thing. Thanks for your review.
Absolutely love your model backstories! So creative
Awesome kit , great work as always.
Wow , 👍👍👍👍👍😎
My junk space truck is done , video is up .
Thanks.
I want to know what you think .
🤔🤔
Looks great Chris. A must have for anyone who builds trucks. Cool history in description too.
According to Scalemates it started life in 1970; in 1971 it got some extra parts to make a reefer. In 1972 it got Schlitz decals; 1976 they released a flatbed version; then after that just cycled through a bunch of previous and new decals. I might look for the reefer version.
I wish they would do the reefer again, but they haven't so far. Round 2 is reissuing the old ERTL Great Dane reefer trailer in the next month or so. When the beer kits came out they included the reefer parts but they weren't used on the box art builds. Scalemates is off a little, the AMT flatbed was a brand new tooling with full frame underneath. IMC did a generic box trailer in the late 60's/ early 70's that they later reissued as a flatbed using the box trailer as the base. Also, the beer kits from AMT came out in the late 70's and the Schlitz trailer was paired with the Mack Cruiseliner tractor that was originally issued with Ryder decals in '76/'77. Not trying to be a "know it all", I've been building these trucks since '71 and I have most of the old 70's AMT annual catalogs to back up the dates.
Captain Morgan Thank you for your info. You're not being a "know it all," just sharing your knowledge of the kits issued "first time around." I was fortunate enough to catch the originals on "there way out," as I have been building them since 1982. I never understood the RYDER decals on the MACK CRUISELINER. Now that you shared that it is supposed to be paired with the SCHLITZ trailer, now I have a purpose to build the Cruiseliner. Beautiful truck, but RYDER decals don't do it any justice. Thank you again
That trailer really matches the tractor Chris!
I've watched a few of your videos recently and I have a couple questions. Firstly, what size socket are you using to slide your tires onto for sanding them? A spark plug socket? And secondly, I've seen you use the Sharpie Permanent Markers quite a bit. How do they hold up over time? Do the colors fade? Thanks.
Great job. The maker light in the back side and back top of trailer would be red.
You should build the Mack R685ST semi tractor kit
Great work you've done Chris.
Great build, as usual. Will go get myself a Miller now.
Being right handed and watching you use the marker left handed for tight detail on the doors made me cringe 😆. Awesome work new sub here looking forward to tons of ideas
Nice job again keep on trucking!!
I thought I read awhile back that large piece of styrene was to help with getting air bubbles out of the large decals these trailers had over the years.
Could be, I can see how it would help smooth down the giant Coke decals for the Xmas trailer.
That slow music that has what sounds like a banjo or mandolin makes me so sad everytime I hear it..but I can't quit listening to it.
I know what you mean
just wondering, if I were to leave the doors to open and close, if any of the same scale cars could be stored inside the trailer? I have the Coca Cola model and plan to get some of the Coca Cola cars and pickup trucks
I love this content! So going on Modelroundup, do you know why a model kit is taken off the website if it's just sold out? It's weird cause when I find exact links like ok your Supra video or I find a link to the Hardbody truck I can open the model kits but when I search the kit on the website it's not there?
Their search engine can be picky depending on the terms you search for so I just direct link to the page in the description to make it easy.
I make $0 on the links, it's a direct link to the site so it's not like I get paid from everyone that clicks and buys. :)
@@hpiguy I mean that says a lot when you put a link for a website you aren't being paid for to do! That says a lot about the company and gives me higher chance to trust them!
rubber hoses are for air lines for the trailor brakes
If I remember correctly that big extra plastic piece was for the AMT decals that came in the original issue. You could make a placard for the decals and glue the placard to the trailer. I am not 100% positive but am pretty sure that's what it is for.
Cool!
Another nice build Chris, like the big rigs.
COOL build Chris have to pick me one up 👍🍺
Seamybmw+ I was thinking the same I said to throttle power the new international transtar 4070A kits would look nice with with this beer 🍻 trailer they give you the decals for the tractor in this kit Chris dose great work

In those trailer kits there is a locking bar for the sliding rear tandems just like the real thing . in this video it shows up at 317 on the below the mud flaps , and for your information all clearance lights by law require red to be displayed to the rear only and amber to the the sides and front, i also noticed where you located the tail lights on that trailer , they should be tucked up in under the rear of the trailer otherwise every time you back into a loading dock you will damage the lights
Nice trailer. Again a wonderful build.
came out nice !
Another fine job.
I have the Schlitz version of this model, but after moving around the country, I’ve som3 how lost he front of the trailer and the rear doors.
Looks like a 72 charger passing the truck, on the box!
Rear window line looks like 73, 4.. But who knows.!
Another fine build. I saw the trailer for this trailer, earlier - not in tandem either. Thanks, Chris. I'm going for a sixer of High Life after this - then watch it again.
Awesome superb outstanding excellent job you did on that trailer and it should be a perfect match for the tractor. I like it.
Very good top 🤘
The orange reflector goes in the front part of the trailer but nice job
Did this kit as christmas trailer. the tubing is air lines
Could you have panted Red/White and made your own labels and done it up as a Coke Trailer and Rig?
You can create your own decals or buy giant Coke emblems from Round2.
I really enjoy your videos. What dose hpi stand for
Happy Guys Workshop
Thanks!
the Mansfield bar was named after actress Jane Mansfield hit the back end of a trailer and got her cut off.
I try not to watch your channel as it makes my Paypal account cry.
Nice, been waiting for this review 🤘🤘. All your builds are awesome .
What would be the page or link to buy those replicas!!!
Link in description as stated on screen and in the video, thanks!
Why do you use carpet on your work bench
Actually it's a towel
I'll have a Miller High Life please! Super build Chris!
