ViperLite Trailers
In 2018, after years of working alongside his brothers at Coras Trailers, Luis Castaneda Sr. took a bold step and founded ViperLite. Determined to exceed conventional standards, he envisioned a trailer that was completely reimagined from the ground up.
ViperLite was born to redesign the entire structure — strengthening the frame, making the trailers lighter, and ensuring superior durability. After 25+ years of fabrication experience, Luis returned to his passion with one mission: build the finest dump trailers in the industry.
In the years since, LAC has completely redesigned the quarter-frame dump trailer. These advancements far exceed what is currently on the market — with exceptional empty weight and innovative design, ViperLite continues to thrive. This vision of stronger, more efficient trailers has driven ViperLite's evolution ever since.
We personally invite you to stop by our shop in Streator, Illinois, or reach out with your custom build ideas. Every trailer we build is built for you.

Built Different
From the Start
HARDOX 450 Steel
Every ViperLite dump trailer is framed and floored with HARDOX 450 — the same premium abrasion-resistant steel used in mining equipment worldwide. Tougher where it counts.
Exceptional Empty Weight
Our completely redesigned quarter-frame keeps empty weight dramatically lower than competitors — meaning more payload capacity and more profit on every haul.
100% Custom Builds
No two jobs are the same. We work with you from design to delivery to build a trailer exactly matched to your operation — length, sides, hydraulics, and more.
Repairs, Rebuilds & Alterations
Have an existing trailer that needs work? Our shop handles full repairs, complete rebuilds, and custom modifications — maximizing the life of your equipment.

American-Made
Built in Streator, Illinois by skilled hands. Every weld, every component, every trailer — made right here in the USA and shipped anywhere in the country.
