Built with Quality

Laying tile is a demanding job and your stringer has got to stand up to the tremendous beating that these implements sustain in the field. You can buy a cheaper cart, but you can’t buy a stronger cart – and we can back up that claim two ways!

1. With the addition of Ideal Tile Trailer’s patented Auto Hat hands-free loading system, not only will you avoid breakage and downtime by purchasing an Ideal cart, you’ll save time and make the job of loading tile a much safer process.
   
   
2. A 2-Year Frame Warranty*: Our stringers stand up to the tremendous beating these implements sustain in the field. We're so confident, we've backed it with the ONLY frame warranty in the industry.

* It's a 2-year warranty on frame material and workmanship.

History of Ideal Tile Stringers

In 1977, Winthrop Welding Works in Winthrop, Iowa, was building trailers of several different varieties. So it wasn’t surprising when they were approached by a company manufacturing plastic drainage tile in search of a trailer that could haul and dispense tile in the field. In short order, the forerunner of what’s become known in the industry as the tile stringer cart, took shape and was born.

Owner Roger Pint hated comebacks, so when it came to this new line of tile trailers, he employed his favorite business motto – “When in doubt, make it stout!” — a philosophy that served him well. Winthrop Trailers were not only the first tile stringer on the market; they were widely respected over time for being the best on the market. It is not uncommon at all to see Winthrop stringers built in the ‘70s and ‘80s still in service.

Ideal Industries, headquartered in Vinton, Iowa, purchased the Winthrop Trailers line in 2012. Ideal has since updated some of the manufacturing process and inserted innovations, like the Auto Hat automated top hat system for hands-free loading. But they haven’t strayed from the basic design, materials and specs of Winthrop Trailers.
