FAQ about Weldable Hinges and Tailgate Locks
Weldable hinges are hinges that can be directly attached to a tractor trailer through welding. They are used to create durable and strong hinge connections on the trailer’s tailgates and side panels, allowing for easy opening and closing while ensuring secure fastening during transport.
There are various types of weldable hinges that differ in size, strength, and design, depending on where they will be installed on the trailer. Common materials include steel and stainless steel, both offering durability and corrosion resistance, which is particularly important for trailers used in harsh environments.
A tailgate latch is a locking mechanism that secures the tailgate or side panels of a tractor trailer during transport. It prevents accidental opening of the trailer bed, ensuring the safety of the cargo and contributing to secure transportation. Tailgate latches are especially useful for trailers carrying heavy or loose materials.
