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).
- Hat posts
instead of Z posts used for
wall studs, for improved strength.
- 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.
