| About Aluminum - In exploring different possibilities of your new trailer
it is important that you understand the structural
components of aluminum trailers. One important factor that
should be questioned is the temper, or the degree of
hardness and strength, that the aluminum is made of. Temper
is measured in grades. The larger the number, the stronger
the aluminum is. Here at Dream Coach, all of our trailers
are built with temper 6, or T6 aluminum. This grade is
commonly used in aircraft construction because of its
strength and durability. T6 temper 6061, which is used in
building almost all Dream Coach Trailers, has a tensile and
yield strength of more than twice of the T4, which is often
used in the construction of many trailers on the market. Why
is this important? Hauling horses puts a large amount of
stress on trailers. The weight alone will take its toll on a
lower grade aluminum after minimal use, causing it to sag in
the floor if a lower grade aluminum is used. When you factor
the common mishaps that come with hauling, such as a kicking
horse, an unfortunate fender bender or even weather
conditions like hail and wind, how important is the strength
of your trailer? To us it is of the utmost importance, which
is why the quality and strength of the aluminum we use is
unsurpassed in the horse trailer industry.
