Sometimes, It Is What’s Outside that Counts
When considering the best materials for trailer construction, there are many products available. But at Mohawk Ltd., we always recommend fiberglass reinforced polymer material, or FRP. While we’ll build your trailer using the materials that best meet your budget, we feel that it’s important for you to know that FRP offers clear advantages over aluminum or lower-grade fiberglass products.
Our FRP is a commercial grade product that offers many advantages over the lower-quality materials some other manufacturers use, such as aluminum or RV-grade fiberglass. All trailer manufacturing products are not created equal, and we think you should have all the facts before you make any final decisions.
For instance, aluminum construction products have a number of drawbacks. For one, aluminum skin-over-frame trailers are very flexible, and this causes a loosening of fasteners and components. They do not provide a high level of noise protection, and fail to withstand the elements over time like FRP material. Aluminum trailers will eventually rust and corrode, making them much less durable and have a shorter lifespan.
Even other types of fiberglass material don’t provide the kind of durability and quality as our premium fiberglass panels. Truth be told, other companies touting “FRP fiberglass” construction in their products are often offering a thin fiberglass matte material that has been bonded to luan plywood panels. This material may not offer the durability you’re expecting for your mobile command center.
At Mohawk Ltd., quality and craftsmanship is very important to us. We look at every little detail when creating your custom trailer, from the type of appliances, electronics, and cabinetry used right down to the fixtures. We want to make sure that you have the best experience possible.
But all the great interior features that we offer to you won’t make any difference at all if the outside of your custom trailer becomes useless. That’s why we offer our customers one of the best trailer body materials in the industry – fiberglass composite, or FRP.
Customers from the fields of law enforcement, HAZMAT, utilities and construction industries realize the need for a product that will withstand a number of variables. That’s why we suggest to them that they construct out of our FRP material when they custom-build their trailer. Here are just a few of the advantages that FRP offers:
- Superior impact and damage resistance: FRP withstands impacts and abrasions from stones, tree branches, road debris, and workers.
- Durable surfaces: FRP wall surfaces do not rust, corrode, fade, or peel.
- Superior noise and insulation value: FRP allows for quieter working conditions within the trailer.
- Seamless and smooth wall surfaces: FRP provides seamless, smooth, and fastener-free interior and exterior wall surfaces, which allows for easy application of graphics and paint, and makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze.
- Ease of repair: Minor damage is easily repaired with standard fiberglass fillers and readily available fiberglass/resin materials.
We know that seeing is believing, though, so that’s why we’re happy to send a sample of FRP out to prospective clients. Let us know if you’d like to see what a great quality product FRP is for yourself. You’ll talk to one of our design engineers, who will discuss your custom trailer needs with you and send you out an FRP sample right away. Contact us today for more information!
