Our Story

LAC Welding &
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.

Why ViperLite

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.
