How they Build the Worlds Toughest Trailer

What happens here

The video transitions to the Floe Trailers factory, where Don provides a tour of the production floor. He shows how the trailers are shipped in a compact form, with the bed and frame assembled and other components (like axles and wheels) stacked efficiently within. He introduces the workers assembling fender components, highlighting the use of specialized tools for trimming and finishing the polyethylene parts. The tour culminates in showcasing the 'world's largest rotary thermoforming machine,' which is central to creating the large polymer sections of the trailers.

Goal: Showcase the factory's operations, including assembly and the large-scale thermoforming process.

Tools and materials

  • CargoMax Trailer Components CargoMax — Being assembled and manufactured
  • Hand-held Rotary Tool — Trimming excess material from thermoformed fenders
  • Polyethylene Sheets — Raw material for thermoforming the trailer bodies
