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.
