TOWABILITY
Lighter weight. Many Exiss all-aluminum trailers are much lighter than steel trailers. So they're easier to pull, providing you better fuel efficiency and less wear and tear on your tow vehicle. While some brands have aluminum skin over steel sub frames, our trailers are constructed with all-aluminum materials. This includes the wall studs, floor, cross-members, outside skin and components made by Exiss.
Smoother ride. Radial tires and large 16-inch wheels are standard on most models, providing you a smoother and safer ride. Rubber torsion axles cushion the ride, while independent electric brakes on all wheels allow you slow and stop smoothly.
STRENGTH AND DURABILITY
Nose and king pin design
The king pin coupler system is unique to stock trailers and is patterned after semi trailers. The sturdy 2 5/16-inch coupler tube runs through a steel plate, providing you maximum security in case of accident. Some manufacturers butt-weld their coupler tube to a steel plate, making it susceptible to malfunction.
Huck bolt fasteners are installed in the nose and other high stress areas to assure maximum structural integrity. Our Huck fasteners have the highest uniform clamp and vibration resistance available. Each fastener has a sheer strength in excess of 6,500 pounds. Once installed, Huck fasteners cannot back out, crack or malfunction from vibration. That's strength — and added peace of mind for you.
Sidewalls. Built around durable 1 5/8 x 3-inch sidewall posts, the sidewalls will stand up to the roughest herds and abuses on the ranch, providing strength and durability for years to come.
Side sheets. Our .063 exterior side sheets are thicker than most of the competition and are fastened to sturdy aluminum uprights for maximum strength and rigidity. Fastened compression rivets create a bond that's superior to nuts and bolts as well as pop rivets.
Roof. The roof is made from one-piece aluminum sheet bonded to roof bows on 23-inch centers with a high bond sealant used in building semi trailers. A one-piece roof is very important because seams in the roof increase the potential for water penetrating and causing leaks. Also, our Huck fasteners create a very durable application.
Floor construction. Sturdy 4-inch I-beam cross-members on 10-inch centers, combined with ribbed, interlocking, extruded aluminum planks that run the full length of the trailer create one of the strongest floors in the industry.
COMFORT AND SAFETY
Ventilation. Air slats on both sides of the trailer are 5 11/16-inch wide and allow excellent air circulation. Each air space, including the rear and escape doors, comes standard with a Plexiglas track, giving you the option to better maintain the temperature for your animals.
Electrical system
Electrical wires pass through grummets in posts and walls, reducing the possibility of chafing and short circuits.
Exterior lights are sealed beam to be watertight. Plus all wiring connections are moisture-resistant, so there's less chance of electrical failure.
FIT AND FINISH
Exterior welding. T.I.G. welding provides an improved appearance and strength. Most competitors use the easier M.I.G. welding which is not as visually appealing.
Front corner caps are T.I.G. welded into place to give you one of the smoothest and cleanest looking front caps in the industry.
