Tough Plate Trailers

Tough plate trailers have enhanced protection along the sides for more rugged operations.

In addition to scuff protection, this feature helps reduce the risk of water entry into the dry van. This is a very durable trailer.

In the ‘less likely’ event of damage, the unit is easily repaired with standard shop techniques.

The Stoughton Tough Plate Composite Van is ready for your toughest challenge.
