Polar King Mobile adds Midwest dealer
Jim Hawk Truck Trailers now represents Polar King Mobile’s “affordable, small refrigerated trailer solution” in the Midwest.
“Jim Hawk Truck Trailers, based in Council Bluffs, IA, started as a single trailer sales dealership in 1972 and has become one of the largest and most respected dealers of semi-truck trailers throughout the Midwest with nine locations,” said Christian Aitken, PKM vice president. “Over the past 50 years, this family-owned business has provided quality customer service and is a perfect partner for Polar King Mobile as we expand our footprint in the United States.”
Jim Hawk Truck Trailers has nine locations in the region, including branches in Chicago; Kansas City; Fargo, N.D.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Sioux City, Iowa; Council Bluffs, Iowa; Des Moines, Iowa; Davenport, Iowa; and Morton, Ill.
“We are excited about expanding into new niche market areas with diversified and unique product offerings such as Polar King Mobile’s,” said Jim Hawk III, president of Jim Hawk Truck Trailers. “The mini-reefer trailers will help us connect with a new market and respond to a new set of customers we have not been able to serve previously.
“We are always looking to be progressive and find ways to grow our business and customer base.”
Polar King Mobile provides 8- to 16-foot small, refrigerated trailers that are both affordable and industry leading, according to PKM.
“The addition of Jim Hawk Truck Trailers takes the PKM line deeper into the heart of the Midwest and Great Plains,” Aitken said. “Our products complement those of Polar King and Polar Leasing by providing a long absent solution to the marketplace. We are excited about the opportunity Jim Hawk Truck Trailers brings to make these products more widely known and available.”
The Polar King Mobile 110-volt (15-amp) refrigerated trailers are designed and engineered specifically for outdoor and over-the-road use. Polar King’s 100% seamless fiberglass design provides a continuous surface with rounded insulated corners to promote a sanitary environment, according to the company. The durable, NSF-approved non-slip flooring system greatly reduces the risk of slips and falls. Since the unit is completely seamless, it can quickly be cleaned with a hose and there’s no risk of damage to the insulation.
Polar King Mobile says the unit will look factory new with regular care and cleaning.
PKM does not sell direct to the public.
“We are creating a national network of value-added resellers by recruiting the best trailer distributors from the North American Trailer Dealers Association.” Aitken said. “A national network that includes dealers such as Jim Hawk Truck Trailers will provide the kind of fast, professional and knowledgeable service that our customers want.”
