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 Delrin 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.

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.

Grounding Lug

With simple attachment for convenient placement, our 5/8″ x 5″ bronze lug offers fast and secure grounding.

Our grounding lug is cast from C95400 Silicon Bronze which has 52% better conductivity than the carbon steel frame it is ultimately attached to. When installed on Hot Dipped Galvanized equipment, the C65100 Silicon Bronze fasteners mate the lug directly to the galvanized surface. Sauber Mfg. Co. provided Hot-Dipped Galvanized finish has more than triple the conductivity of the underlying carbon steel. These essential components are strongly resistant to corrosion and will endure decades of unsheltered use.

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.

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.

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.

Socket Housing

Little or no protection for the electrical connection between tow vehicle and trailer can cause a maintenance disaster and risk of an accident if it fails. Our strong Almag housing unit that secures your socket system provides electrical wiring with a non-rusting and secure environment for years of hard labor. Specify the plug type when ordering. Also available with a dual connection option. Please contact us to help with your requirement.

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. The chock face grips tight to the tire surface while the motion of the tire wedges the chock between the wheel and the ground. The orange urethane grip handle is highly visible and reminds users to deploy and retrieve it. It is comfortable and easy to grip with gloved or bare hands.

All-Weather Wheel Chocks are unconditionally guaranteed against breakage for the life of the equipment they protect. Available with holders for every application, Sauber All-Weather Wheel Chocks continue to protect people and property decades after we designed and patented them.

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…
