Year after year, Haulmark trailers are chosen by more
people and imitated by more competitors than any other
brand. Our superior construction is a big reason why. We
build each trailer to be the strongest and
smoothest-riding in the industry. The following features
are common to most trailers:
THE FLOOR/FRAME
-
Frame crafted from 3", 4", 6" or 8"
longitudinal members, providing the structural
integrity needed for every trailer.
-
Rust-inhibiting coating on steel
chassis helps prevent corrosion.
-
3/4" plywood floor on cross-members
built on 16" centers ensures proper support of your
valuable cargo.
-
Tires, wheels, bearings, axles,
brakes and suspension are carefully selected and
matched to the load properties of each trailer to
ensure best performance. Most Haulmark trailers have
radial tires for a superior ride and longer life.
-
Heavy-duty Torflex axles with EZ
Lube hubs on most models work independently for each
wheel. This ensures that road impacts on one side of
the trailer are not transferred to the other.
-
Superior alignment. The frame is
built on a squaring jig so the frame members are
perfectly square and the axles are positioned for
perfect alignment.
THE
CARGO AREA
U-channel is welded to the trailer frame
and the sidewalls fit snugly into the U-channel,
preventing dust and moisture from entering the trailer
(a feature on all 8'-wide trailers).
-
Door and window openings are framed
with metal for improved strength. Some manufacturers
use wood, which is not as strong or durable and can
rot.
-
Metal recessed steps provide maximum
durability and won't rot like wooden steps.
-
Roof made of seamless aluminum or
galvanized steel material over heavy-duty, 18-gauge
roof bows on 24" centers for years of trouble-free
service.
-
Fiberglass roof cap at the front
adds a touch of style while providing protection
from harsh weather.
-
Reflective bubble wrap insulation is
more effective than fiberglass batting.
-
Wiring runs within the walls and
roof, not beneath the floor, for improved
reliability.
-
Electrical wires pass through
grommets in posts and walls, reducing the
possibility of chafing and short circuits.
-
Tamper-resistant fasteners are used
on all the door and window hinges. Also used in
trucks and automobiles, these fasteners make it
difficult for intruders to break into your trailer.
-
Screws are triple coated to improve
corrosion resistance and will last longer and retain
their good looks for years to come.
-
Posts are on 16" centers on most trailers for
strength and durability (24" centers on Transport
trailers).
-
D-rings and E-tracks are bolted to steel plates to
provide a secure anchor for tying down your most
prized cargo. Some manufacturers simply screw the
D-rings or E-tracks directly to the plywood
flooring.
THE TOWING TONGUE
-
Tube tongue made from the same gauge
metal as the frame and integrated deep into the
frame for additional strength.
-
Couplers made in standard sizes to
ensure compatibility with all major-brand hitches.
-
Heavy-duty front jack with
easy-cranking mechanism makes it easy to raise and
lower the trailer.
-
Heavier-gauge safety chains and
clutch hooks instead of S hooks for added safety and
security.
