Features & Benefits
More Flexibility. Longer Life.
With some of the highest floor ratings in the industry, this trailer design offers load flexibility. The main beam provides a stronger web-to-flange attachment for long life performance. Potential corrosion is eliminated between the flange and web by welding the high-tensile steel at all flange-web joints. In addition, the ″K″ type of structural assembly reduces side bending.
Better Visibility.
The standard enhanced visibility lighting system offers three stop/tail/turn lights and five dual-function side marker lights. The side marker lights also function as turn signals for improved motorist visibility.
Superior Corrosion Resistance.
100% of steel surfaces are shot blasted before applying primer and paint, eliminating the need for chemical pretreatments. From the ultra high-zinc, epoxy primer and galvanic coating, to the automotive grade acrylic urethane paint, this trailer resists corrosion and increases resale value.
