What is the finishing process of your trailers?
We have a state of the art finishing department. After weld QC inspection the trailer will go into a sandblast booth where it is sandblasted top to bottom. The trailer will then undergo an acid wash to make sure we get all the grease off the metal. After washing, the trailer is moved into a dryer, and from there it travels into a primer booth where every trailer gets primed. The trailer will then travel into a powder paint booth where we apply the color of your trailer. Finally, it will proceed to a powder coat baking cure oven where it will get baked until the powder is perfectly cured.
