Corrosion Resistance: Why Aluminum Excels in Canadian Winters
When it comes to longevity, aluminum outperforms steel by being highly resistant to rust. While aluminum does oxidize over time, occasional maintenance, such as an acid bath, can help keep it in top condition. This makes aluminum trailers a great choice for Canadian roads, especially during harsh winters when road salt accelerates rusting. If you frequently travel on salted roads, aluminum trailers require far fewer preventative measures compared to steel, offering peace of mind and durability in tough conditions.
Strength: Aluminum Alloys vs. Steel
Steel trailers are known for their strength and rigidity, making them less prone to bending or denting. However, most aluminum trailers are crafted from aluminum alloys—a mix of metals designed to enhance durability. These alloys are stronger than pure aluminum, and some grades of aluminum alloys can rival steel in certain conditions.
Steel’s rigidity makes it harder to repair once bent, whereas aluminum’s flexibility allows minor dents and bends to be more easily restored. For flat surfaces and smooth roads, aluminum trailers perform well, but if you frequently encounter rugged terrain, steel may be the better choice for added strength and stability.
Weight: Lighter Trailers Mean Better Efficiency
For Canadians hauling heavy loads, weight is often a top priority. Aluminum trailers are about 10-15% lighter than steel, which translates into significant advantages. A lighter trailer allows you to carry more cargo while putting less strain on your vehicle. This not only improves your fuel efficiency but also reduces wear and tear on your truck.
With aluminum trailers, you can move more goods with less effort, saving both time and money—an essential consideration for long hauls across Canada’s vast landscapes.
