Trailer Construction and metal work

We have a well-equipped trailer body construction and coupling facility with highly trained engineers and artisans in two locations. These facilities ensure safe and sustainable processes for building trailers for our operations. We construct both trampoline and metal trailers that can last for over 10 years.

Key Components of a Trailer

  • Frame: The backbone of the trailer, providing structural integrity and support.
  • Axles: Support the weight of the trailer and its cargo, mounted to the frame with wheels and brakes.
  • Suspension: Connects the axles to the frame, absorbing shocks and ensuring a smooth ride.
  • Deck or Bed: The surface where cargo is carried, made from wood, metal, or composite materials.
  • Wheels and Tires: Provide contact with the road, requiring durability and proper maintenance.
  • Braking System: Ensures safe stopping, including brakes on axles, a brake controller, and wiring.
  • Coupler: Connects the trailer to the towing vehicle securely.
  • Electrical System: Powers lights, brakes, and other accessories, including wiring harness, battery, and charger.

Materials Used in Trailer Construction

  • Steel: Commonly used for frames, axles, and suspension due to strength and affordability.
  • Aluminum: Used for trailer bodies, decks, and wheels because of its lightweight and corrosion resistance.
  • Wood: Often used for decks and smaller trailers.
  • Composite Materials: Fiberglass and plastic provide durability, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance.

Steps Involved in Trailer Construction

  1. Design and Planning: Determine trailer specifications based on use, payload, and towing vehicle.
  2. Frame Construction: Build the frame using steel or aluminum.
  3. Axle and Suspension Installation: Install axles and suspension components, ensuring alignment.
  4. Deck or Bed Construction: Install deck materials like wood, metal, or composite.
  5. Wheels and Tires Installation: Attach wheels and ensure proper inflation.
  6. Braking System Installation: Install brakes, controller, and wiring.
  7. Coupler Installation: Secure the coupler for safe towing.
  8. Electrical System Installation: Set up wiring, battery, and charger.
  9. Final Assembly and Testing: Ensure all components function properly and meet safety standards.

Tips and Considerations

  • Ensure Proper Weight Distribution: Avoid stability issues by balancing the load.
  • Use High-Quality Materials: Enhance durability and reliability with premium materials.
  • Follow Safety Guidelines: Adhere to regulations when constructing and operating the trailer.
  • Regular Maintenance: Keep the trailer safe and functional through routine maintenance.

By following these steps and considerations, you can construct a safe, durable, and reliable trailer suited to your needs.
