Trailer productivity: doors & floors
Trailer floor systems are much more complex than simply a set of floorboards secured to crossmembers that run between bottom rails.
Application specific: Bulk transport
The process of choosing the best specifications for trailers used in bulk hauling applications can be complicated.
Top & Bottom
Roofs and floors are key factors to consider when specifying trailers
Trailer Productivity: Corrosion Control
Durability. Cost. Image. Three main factors in fleet decisions about trailer specifications that are directly affected by a common enemy – corrosion. From the roofline to structural members, suspensions, axles, landing gear and upper-couplers, constant bombardment by moisture and debris – as well as exposure to road salts and other de-icing materials – makes specifying trailers for corrosion protection of utmost concern to fleet managers. Equally aware of the challenge are trailer, system and component manufacturers, who are addressing the problems caused by corrosion with new technologies and processes.
Trailer Productivity – Doors and Lifts
While systems and components on commercial vehicles are carefully specified to maximize efficiency on the road, the specification choices fleets make also can greatly impact productivity during loading and unloading operations.
