Coil Duct Trailer w/ Line Tamer

Hubodometers

Recording trailer miles makes sense for utility fleets. With our Hubodometers, you can optimize both your maintenance efforts and asset utilization with this tool. Our Hubodometers are hermetically sealed, have no moving parts for long life and include a 4-year, 500,000-mile warranty. Stainless steel brackets or aluminum housing installations provide rust-free, secure mounting. We offer retrofit kits for fleet-related bulk orders. Contact us to discuss your application.

SmartPerf Lined Tongue Area

This smooth steel tongue area floor with a slot pattern offers drainage and a flat surface for material storage with attachment points for bungee or small straps.

Hitch Extension

Designed to help reduce the risk of jack-knifing, our fully adjustable hot dipped galvanized steel hitch extensions can be rotated for additional height options. They provide clearance between the trailer tongue and towing vehicle to avoid encumbrances like steps and tail shelves. We use only grade 8, North American certified bolts for attachment. Contact us to help with your requirement.

EZ-Up Jack

Why spend time cranking a jack? We designed this swing away jack that requires minimal cranking before simply swinging into the horizontal position.  With an easy-to-use handle and no pins, it easily rotates 90° for horizontal travel, providing maximum ground clearance. Jacks can be fitted with sand shoes or non-rusting swivel casters. All include a simple retainer for the jack handle when not in use.

Stainless Steel Toolboxes

We are pleased to offer a premium line of custom stainless-steel toolboxes with an outstanding feature set at responsible prices. These heavy-duty toolboxes are built from 14-gauge stainless steel. 304 Polished stainless steel strap hinges feature Derlin bushings for low-friction opening and closure. A sealed compression latch and rubber gasketing ensure a weather and road-proof compartment. We always add panel stiffeners and gas shocks for larger dimensioned panels. Being a fully-customizable toolbox, dividers, bins, shelves, hooks and other requirements can be added.

Bent Mainframes

Why are bent frame tubes so important?

Look at the frames on vehicle chassis.  You will find very little welding.  Even when structures like cross members need to be attached, it’s generally done with fasteners.  Providing good welds is a necessary part of trailer building.  Engineering out of welds where possible provides structural benefits and is an intelligent thing to do.

 A bent tube frame is superior because:

• It provides uniform strength throughout the frame by eliminating the stress concentrations common in the heat affected zone caused by welding.
• The welded area does not have the toughness that is inherent in a continuous bent tube frame.
• The weld area is difficult to inspect because the joint is hidden after it is welded.  This is true for other welds as well but, in this critical area, there are unique challenges.  An angled cut is required and the accuracy of this cut and the resulting joint can not be verified after the tube is welded.  The tube walls should be beveled prior to the weld application and this cannot be determined after the fact without cutting the tube apart.  The V-groove weld that results is difficult to ensure full joint penetration on the hidden base of the joint.
• Welding provides a discontinuous surface that is more susceptible to rust formation and this deterioration through time can affect the strength of the joint.
• Just as a casting can provide uniformity of shape and character, a bent frame does not possess the variability introduced by cutting, beveling, bending, and welding the joint.

All-Weather Wheel Chocks

Specify Sauber Mfg. Co. All-Weather Wheel Chocks for safety. The Grip Strut face locks wheels tight on all surfaces in all weather conditions because the motion of the tire grips the chock face and wedges it between the wheel and the ground. They are unconditionally guaranteed against breakage for the life of the equipment they protect. Available with holders for every application, Sauber All-Weather Wheel Chocks are protecting people and property decades after we designed and patented them. Contact us today.

Wheel Nut Indicators

During their daily safety check, your operator will be immediately aware of two potentially dangerous conditions with a quick look at our standard wheel nut indicators.  The indicator may be pointing outside the circle pattern which will signal that a wheel nut has loosened. The indicator may also have started to blister and distort which indicates it has been exposed to temperatures above 240° which could be an indication of brake or bearing issues.  A simple feature, but one that makes a Sauber trailer simpler and safer to operate…

Warranty

Sauber Manufacturing leads the field with a 10-year, comprehensive, trailer and truck platform warranty. This warranty comes at no charge to our customers and we have the financial strength and integrity to back it up. Our warranty is an extension of who we are and demonstrates the quality of our builds.

• 10-Year Structural, parts & labor on all Sauber manufactured components
• 10-Year Galvanized finish warranty
• 3-Year Total parts & labor coverage
• 3rd Party mechanized equipment like liftgates, cranes, and hoists are covered under their respective manufacturers’ warranties
• Customer labor reimbursement @ $80/hour

Trailer Lighting Standards

We utilize an LED sealed beam/wiring system w/ stop/turn/tail lights recessed in fully enclosed tube bumper to meet FMVSS 108. Sealed wiring harnesses with no junction boxes or spliced connections. SAE 7-way socket protected top sides and back w/ Almag housing. 1100-52 sealed breakaway w/ charging circuit and LED battery condition indicator w/ 450 C.C.A. maintenance free battery.

Galvanizing

Hot dipped galvanized finish is standard across our entire line of trailers.

Experience counts and you can count on weldments and equipment designs which optimize the benefits of hot dipped galvanizing. We include bolt-on cargo decking that is flat and safe to walk on. In addition, we provide accessories in hot dipped galvanized whenever feasible. Often, we’ll provide axle components in galvanized finish.  In fact, all our trailer wheels are galvanized as well.

Every day, customers trust our experience in galvanizing, innovative features, and durable design to work with them on their next successful trailer application.
