All Aluminum … Built Strong

Confidence as strong as the aluminum components used to build each Lakota Trailer.

Frame: Our chassis is built with 4” X 2.66” 6061-T6 structural aluminum I-beams on maximum 16” centers welded to industry leading 4.312” X 2” side rails ... all before adding an outer extruded van-rail, making for stronger construction than most trailers on the market.

Floor: The interlocking tongue and groove extruded aluminum floor planking has 1/8” walls and solid 3/8” thick risers making it 20% thicker than the industry standard.

Sidewalls: The sidewalls are constructed of tubular aluminum versus the C-Channel construction that many other manufacturers use, making it 33% stronger than the industry standard. The walls have 1½” thick foam insulation, giving them an increased r-value 33% greater than that of our competitors.

Doors: Our rear and feeder doors use industry leading 3/8” thick extruded aluminum for the strap hinges and have an exclusive integrated door frame making them the strongest doors in the industry.

Roof: The roof is constructed of extruded aluminum roof rails with .150” wall thickness and welded to a 1½” X 2½” X .125” aluminum sidewall header. The roof is supported using 1” X 2½” roof bows.

Compare the specifications of our construction below to that of our competitors. You will find that our attention to detail in creating a strong, durable and safe trailer far exceeds others in the industry.
