Why Aluminum Semi Trailers?
Though people often think of steel as a strong metal used in heavy industry and aluminum used in things like soda cans, we are actually looking at alloys. The metallurgy, however, tells a different story. You see, when heavy equipment is manufactured using aluminum, the products are alloy. Aluminum alloy has nearly the same strength as steel, according to manufacturers. This means that other metals are added to the aluminum mix to give it the durable characteristics. One of the advantages of this alloy metal compared to steel alloy is that the latter requires more cleaning and upkeep to prevent rust. The tare weights on steel trailers are also heavier in general.
Difference in Cost
Aluminum alloy semi trailers may cost more upfront than steel, but the upkeep and maintenance is less. Many also find that the former will last longer and provide more resale value for the business or independent driver, according to data from Trucking Info.
