About Better Built Trailers
At Better Built Trailers, our mission is to embody passion, dedication, and expertise in providing you with the finest trailers, mowers, Ranger UTVs, Polaris ORVs, and truck beds available on the market. We take pride in ensuring that your operations run smoothly and your downtime is minimized, making your experience as hassle-free and enjoyable as possible.
Founded on the principle of dedicated service, we are committed to being a trusted partner in your endeavors. Our goal is to excel as the premier trailer and ATV dealer spanning between Kansas City and Denver, setting a standard for excellence in both product quality and customer satisfaction.
***Our History*** In 1996, Mike Bainter started building trailers in the evenings, moonlighting out of his garage in Hoxie, Kansas. At the time, he was working days with his father, Dale Bainter, at Bainter Oil Service, Inc. The demand for trailers became such that Mike opened Better Built Trailers in 1999 and relocated to its present Grainfield, Kansas location at Interstate 70 K-23 Exit 93 in 2006. Today, the business has evolved to being a dealer for 20 brands including manufacturing our own Better Built Hay Trailers, and offering complimentary accessories and trailer services.
Mike graduated from the Arizona Automotive Institute in 1985 and spent 13 years in auto mechanics. Rhonda Bainter had a 25 year background in banking and production agriculture. Together in the Fall of 2013, they purchased the Polaris® dealership from Bainter Oil Service Inc. In 2016 they purchased the Hustler franchise from their good friend Ron Eberle, who was retiring.
In 2019, we initiated an expansion project to establish a dedicated building for the finishing assembly of our hay trailers. This strategic investment aimed to enhance production efficiency and product quality. Subsequently, in 2020, we further bolstered our infrastructure with a new storage facility, positioning ourselves to accommodate future growth and increasing market demands.
Our team comprises talented individuals, including committed family members, unified in our pursuit of excellence in our field. This collaborative environment fosters a cohesive workforce dedicated to delivering exceptional products and services. Such strategic expansions underscore our commitment to operational excellence and sustainable growth in our industry.
