CJay Trailers is a Moose Jaw-based trailer manufacturing company known for high-quality cargo trailers capable of withstanding the extremes of Canadian weather conditions, from minus-40 to plus-40 Celsius, for longer than any competitor.
The company’s success is a testament to the decades of experience founder Brad Harvey brought when he started CJay Trailers in 2005. Harvey had realized there was a gap in the market for ruggedly built cargo trailers, and he was eager to try some his own ideas and innovations.
His product is highly customizable, and the CJay Trailers team enjoys turning out trailers that have been designed to the specifications of individual customers. The company has established an international reputation for quality and reliability, and some customers own dozens of trailers from them — they say it isn’t worth buying anywhere else.
CJay Trailers manufactures for industrial, commercial, and recreational purposes. Industrial contractors and home builders need a mobile tool shed with safe, secure tool storage, typically including insulation, heat, air-conditioning, and organizers for each individual tool and part. Recreational users need a secure, clean, easy-to-access mobile storage space for snowmobiles, quads, and dirt bikes, and an organized space for the rest of their gear.
Harvey keeps turnover at CJay Trailers low, because he believes employees become more valuable over time. He is one of the first employers in the province to offer a four-day work week with no loss in pay, as well as frequent breaks throughout the day from hot workshop conditions. On long weekends, his employees get a three-day work week. Harvey keeps track of data and is eager to show fellow employers that his schedule has increased productivity, work quality, and employee loyalty, while reducing accidents and creating a highly positive workplace atmosphere.
CJay Trailers is constantly innovating and is eager to turn suggestions from front-line workers and customers into a fully realized end product. The company recently debuted a half-enclosed trailer with a rear dump box — an idea proposed by one of their loyal customers. Harvey has accepted and created new trailer designs from ideas as basic as scribblings on a napkin — he likes a challenge and believes there’s always something to learn.
