It's all about building you a superior trailer
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.
