Re: Aluminum Trailers

["John Burk" <joyseydevil@comcast.net>]

Race trailers are grossly heavy because they lack triangulation . One of the
axels is there just to carry all the poorly utilized steel . Our trailers
weigh more than the race cars they carry . An 18 wheeler type box trailer
where the skin is the frame carries 5 or 6 times its weight . At that ratio a
24 ft race car trailer with a stressed skin design would weigh 20% of what
they do .
