How Canadians Build Dump trailers
What happens here
The trailer's electrical system features fully enclosed wiring, routed inside the HSS (Hollow Structural Section) tube steel frame. This design protects all wiring from potential damage caused by debris, weather, or operational hazards. Only where a connection is required, such as for bullet lights or brake wires, does the wiring exit the frame. This robust protection minimizes electrical issues and enhances the trailer's longevity, contributing to the 'eliminate pain points' philosophy.
Goal: Explain how the enclosed wiring enhances durability and reduces maintenance.
