Available Dry Van Trailer Types

On the COOP platform, common variations of Dry Van Trailers listed for rent in Durham, NC include:

Metal Deck

Metallic floor cargo spaces are more durable and versatile in nature. They are perfect for the transportation of commodities that tend to cause a lot of scratches and scuffs that result in damage to the floor surface. Also, a metal floor requires little maintenance over a long period of time which is one of the advantages it has over the wooden ones.

Wooden Deck

Most wooden floors that are installed in a dry trailer are usually hardwood floors. This is to ensure they match up to the heavy task carried out. The main advantage of a wooden floor is that it ensures great ventilation and air circulation. Wooden floor trailers are mostly used in moving dry foods.

Air Suspension Trailers

The whole principle behind air suspension trailers is comfort. Such technology ensures that the trailer goes through bumps as if they are nonexistent. This way, the goods being carried are not affected by aftershocks that might occur during a trip.

Coil Suspension Trailers

It is not that common to find a coil or a spring suspension system as they are these days rare. For dry trailer users who are more driven by the aspect of performance, in this case, speed, a spring suspension is a superb option for them.

Dry Van Trailer Brands

COOP offers multiple brands of rentals in Durham, NC, check below for some potential brands for rent depending on availability.

Great Dane

Great Dane is among the leaders in the trailer production industry. The dry trailers coming from Great Dane are being equipped with technologies that help in the smooth running of the vehicle. Apart from the high performance, the trailers are made to bring peace of mind to the users with the promise of the safety of cargo during transit.

Vanguard

Vanguard trailers are designed to bring a lot to the table. High performance and durability are achieved by the installation of composite walls that bring about great rigidity to the structure. Safety on the other hand is ensured by the presence of a rear body frame that is fully galvanized with a bumper to match.

Utility

Utility has been advancing the dry trailers that come from their production line. The interior of the cargo area is built to cater to a large load capacity. The walls have alternating steel and aluminum and this plays a key role in ensuring the trailer is not only light but also tough.
