9 Types of Aluminum Trailers

Aluminum alloy is widely used in trailers due to its advantages such as light weight, high strength, good processing performance, and strong corrosion resistance. It can effectively reduce the weight of trailers, improve traction and fuel efficiency, adapt to various trailer shapes, and adapt to various cargo transportation.

1. Cargo trailer

Cargo trailers are widely used for transporting goods, and the choice of trailer plates depends on the cargo type. Selecting different aluminum alloy plates improves the vehicle's durability and corrosion resistance. For transporting hazardous goods, it is advisable to opt for 3000 series and 5000 series aluminum alloy plates due to their enhanced corrosion resistance.

2. Enclosed trailer

A closed trailer's main feature is its enclosed design, ensuring items like electrical appliances, fitness equipment, tools, and furniture won't fall during transport. Aluminum alloy construction ensures strength and durability. Opt for standard 4 * 8 size or ultra-wide aluminum plates to minimize connection points.

3. Toy handling trail

Toy handling trailers are perfect for transporting entertainment equipment to the wilderness, facilitating the transport of motorcycles, ATVs, and small off-road vehicles. The aluminum body frame and aluminum panel trailer skin contribute to overall vehicle lightness. Enhance the fun factor by choosing vibrant colors like bright blue or yellow for the trailer.

4. Livestock trailer

Livestock trailers are vital for transporting and selling cattle, sheep, and horses. These trailers demand high-quality materials, typically utilizing aluminum plates for the chassis and side walls. The fence is primarily constructed from 6000 series aluminum alloy profiles to enhance strength and reduce overall weight.

5. Flatbed trailer

Flat trailers often only have a bottom plate, used for handling large goods. Aluminum alloy is used in chassis and support structures to improve strength and reduce weight. Select high-strength 6000 series aluminum plate, which can be adjusted to a thickness of 0.050 '' or other to enhance strength. The size can be cut according to needs.

6. Travel trailer

Many RVs, campers, and travel trailers use aluminum to make their bodies. Aluminum, a lightweight material, is an ideal choice for both frame profiles and plate shell skins. Travel trailers also often use bright colors to enhance the pleasure of the journey.

7. Food, canteen trailer

There must be food trailer or concession trucks next to the bustling street market. Due to the desire of many food trailer or snack bar owners to travel anytime, anywhere, they seek low cost and durability of the trailer material. This makes aluminum the perfect material for such trailers.

8. Teardrop trailer

The tear drop trailer is named after its shape resembling a tear drop and is mainly used for small trailers. This type of trailer is used for camping and travel and is typically designed as a small, lightweight, and aerodynamic structure. Aluminum alloy is mainly used for the skin, side panel, chassis, and liner panel to achieve lightweight and improve fuel economy.

9. Gooseneck trailer

The gooseneck flatbed trailer is located inside the truck compartment and is designed to enter and secure to the pickup truck through the rear door of the truck. Aluminum plate is commonly used in chassis, connecting components, and supporting structures to improve strength, reduce weight, and prevent corrosion.
