Cargo Trailer Wall Construction

Wall attachment to the frame is critical

Many manufacturers use a separate jig to build the wall frames. The wall frames are normally built by separate workers while the frame is being built. When a wall is completed it is taken off the jig and put aside until the frame is ready.

When a frame is completed, it is taken into the wall jig area where the wall is lifted onto the frame and welded.

Roof bows are added to complete the frame and support the walls upright.

If care is not taken to make sure corners are square and measurements are correct, it will make installation of the floor and exterior more difficult, and waste materials later on in the construction process. This can also result in the trailer being warped or twisted, which can make the trailer unsafe to tow.
