Bridge Trailers are manufactured in three basic 16
ga. steel combinations. These are carbon
steel, stainless steel, and a combination of the
two. Carbon steel trailers are much more flexible
and rugged than aluminum trailers and are designed
to be used in most applications. Stainless steel
trailers were designed to be used in applications
that involve wet corrosive payloads or where road
conditions include damaging chemicals or excessive
rock chipping. 10 ga floors and slopes are an option
to reinforce trailer bodies that are used in severe
applications.
Option A
Carbon Steel Construction- Price equivalent to
Aluminum Construction
The entire trailer is protected by the Trinity
paint process. This
specifically designed process includes a top coat which is a high build aliphatic
(organic) polyurethane coating that is tough, flexible and chemical/stain resistant. The
primer is epoxy based for corrosion resistance (similar to the process used on
offshore refineries and ship hulls).
Option B
Level 1 Stainless Steel Construction
The entire trailer is protected by the Trinity
Paint process. All body sheets, rear door sheet and inside top rail
are stainless steel. The side frames, ribs,
strips, suspension, king pin, rear door frame,
landing legs/ braces and suspensions pans are carbon
steel.
Option C
Level 2 Stainless Steel Construction - “unpainted”
The side frames, ribs, strips, all body sheets,
rear door sheet and both top rails are stainless
steel and left unpainted. The king pin, suspension,
rear door frame, landing legs,/braces, suspension
pans and rib channels over suspension are carbon
steel and protected by the Trinity Paint process.
Trinity
engineers use Finite Element Analysis software
to analyze the deformation of rugged 16 ga. steel
trailer assemblies and 3D modeling to design exact
fit and evaluate tolerance to assure quality. |
