What happens here

At the very last stage of the manufacturing process, the trailers receive their final protective coatings. The one-piece aluminum roof is triple-sealed with multiple layers of adhesive, screws, and caulk to ensure complete waterproofing and durability. Crucially, each trailer is then lifted high into the air on a hydraulic hoist. This allows workers full and comfortable access to the entire underside of the trailer. Scott, one of the owners, explains that they apply an automotive-style rubberized undercoating to all cracks and crevices. This double-seals the underside, preserving the wood, protecting the steel frame from corrosion, and providing sound dampening. This meticulous process ensures comprehensive, long-lasting protection for every trailer.

Goal: Complete the trailer's weatherproofing and long-term protection by triple-sealing the roof and applying an automotive-grade rubberized undercoating to the underside.

finish process is that right that's it all right this is where the rest of it happens so this is 3/4 in Plywood And you use that on every trailer doesn't matter if it's 5 ft wide or 8 ft wide 3/4 in plywood floor 38 plywood on the walls always we talked about the enclosed wiring now in the Finish area is where all of the tail lights and the interior lights are attached um you'll see that wood is going in then our smooth side there's no screws no rivets all VHB bonded exteriors and then a triple sealed roof a one piece aluminum roof on every trailer again it doesn't matter if it's a very small trailer or a very expensive all of them one piece roof and so this is your finish Zone area yeah we're finishing this trailer so the inside we see the walls are on the floor is on the floor tie downs you know bolted through to that steel plate we saw just a few minutes ago no screws no rivets we've added this little bit of plastic in here just to make sure sure that this is a clean surface just through the finish of this trailer we apply this way back at the front just to make sure now some of the aluminum comes with plastic some of the aluminum doesn't and if it doesn't we will put this on just to keep the Finish Perfect all okay but now you guys also do something a little different which I mean some of this I don't know if I can include but I'm going to talk about it right now with you behind us is a very cool thing that allows you guys to manufacture yeah no you guys can manufacture any color trailer immediately right you're not stuck doing well have a look at this stand like over there is a seven wide silver then there's a five wide here's a car hauler and over there is a big Commercial Series and they're lined up with different colors and it's because of this thing right we're not batch building here we can decoil so we can take the color coils off cut them to length and then put them onto the trailer as it's rolling so one of your guys has went to one of them big home improvement stores seen one of them lenium racks that you hit a button and all the lenol comes out and said build me an industrial size one of them I mean like legitimately that's how you guys built that big thing right there legit which allows you guys to now go we need five Blues we need 10 Grays we need four Silvers boom boom boom boom boom and we go well look look down here right behind me here silver white and then a black at the front like this isn't batch processing this isn't batch…
