Reasons for Galvanizing: Aesthetics, Coating Durability, Corrosion Performance, Initial Cost, Life-Cycle Cost, Prior HDG Experience, Quality of HDG, Sustainability, Turnaround Time
Components Galvanized: The entire trailer chassis as well as the stakes and other components. Each trailer weighs several tons.
"...obvious solution was hot-dip galvanizing; excellent corrosion resistance combined with exceptional abrasion resistance and all at a lower cost than inferior solutions like paint or aluminum construction. "
A hugely difficult environment for corrosion protection was the challenge; abrasion from loading and unloading combined with gravel roadways often treated with grit and corrosive chemicals to manage dust and ice.
"...obvious solution was hot-dip galvanizing; excellent corrosion resistance combined with exceptional abrasion resistance and all at a lower cost than inferior solutions like paint or aluminum construction. "
These trailers have huge raw cut logs loaded roughly precluding the use of soft and expensive aluminum. This combined with flying gravel, de-icing sand and salt as well as chloride dust control chemicals make short work of even the best paint systems.
So the obvious solution was hot-dip galvanizing; excellent corrosion resistance combined with exceptional abrasion resistance and all at a lower cost than inferior solutions like paint or aluminum construction.
