Horse Trailer Flooring & Chassis
- The trailer's floor and chassis are initially constructed with a Z-frame casting, with axles yet to be mounted.
- The flooring process begins upside down and is later flipped using an overhead crane.
- Aluminum is used for its light weight but requires more material to achieve the same strength as steel, potentially increasing the overall weight.
- The trailer features a patented roof technology called "SafeBump" which uses dual-layer protection and high-density Styrofoam insulation for added strength and safety.
- Rumber flooring, made from recycled tires, is highlighted for its durability, ease of maintenance, and ability to prevent liquid penetration, making it ideal for trailers.
- Rumber floors also eliminate the need for additional mats, providing a non-slip surface and easy cleaning.
- Horse urine has a negative impact on aluminum horse trailer floors - advocating for the use of wood or Rumber to avoid corrosion and maintenance issues.
- Flooring and chassis material choice is crucial based on practical benefits such as reduced heat transfer, noise, and vibration, enhancing the comfort and safety of the trailer's contents.
