Trailers play a significant role in our transportation industry, Whether shipping produce from the farmland to the continental United States, or products imported from around the world, we rely on trailers to haul these goods to market and to us.
Trailers have come a long way since the Fruehauf Trailer Company first manufactured and marketed them to the world in 1918. Manufacturing today’s semi-trailers have the ability to use various designs and components to meet all types of requirements.
Unfortunately, truck trailer encounter unexpected accidents and emergencies while delivering goods. Damages can occur from collisions, mechanical failures, jackknifing, and simple accidents such as backing into docks or having forklifts hit the inside walls while unloading leading to much needed repairs.
Truck trailers accounted for over 50% of fatal collisions and deadly accidents. These trailers carry out some serious heavy lifting; if not taken care of, they may eventually run down completely or become troublemakers. Since they play such a vital role in truck transportation, making it necessary to maintain and protect the structure from potential malfunctions and failures. If they are not maintained or repaired properly it can result in severe consequences, leading to business losses or liability damages.
