Cargo trailer construction final finish

Cargo trailer construction has now been completed except for a few final touches

Final finish is where cargo trailers have small remaining items completed. Hardware and lights are installed along with outside trim/molding, caulking, labels and stickers. The trailer is cleaned and new tires are now installed.

Because sheet metal screws are very abundant in many areas of production, junk tires are used on the trailer during construction. That is why new tires are not installed until the trailer is in final finish.

Lights are tested and the trailer is inspected to make sure nothing has been forgotten.

The VIN sticker is also applied to the left front side or tongue of the trailer. This will contain important information such as the name of the manufacturer, VIN, GVRW, and other important trailer information.

If the trailer is going to have special features  (options) added such as floor coverings, cabinets, a/c, generators, and many others, when it leaves final finish it is then moved into the “options” department. Due to the complexity of adding these extra features, completion time will vary.

If no options will be added to the trailer, it is moved into an outside holding area where it awaits pick up by the buyer or a transporter.
