Built to Last: Why Trailer Manufacturers Are Turning to Corrugated Metal Floors

When it comes to trailer manufacturing, where durability and longevity are essential, every component must be capable of withstanding rigorous use, heavy loads, and diverse environmental conditions. Among these critical components, the flooring often bears the brunt of the wear and tear. Traditional flooring materials like wood and plywood are susceptible to several problems: moisture damage, rot, pest infestations, and gradual deterioration under heavy loads, to name just a few. This translates to frequent replacements, costly downtime, and potential safety hazards. To address these challenges, trailer manufacturers increasingly turn to corrugated metal floors — a robust, long-lasting solution that offers superior performance and cost-effectiveness. Let’s explore how corrugated metal is helping trailer manufacturers and their customers [...]

Solar Farms: Clean Energy Supported by Custom Metal Ground-mount Systems

While driving through the countryside, you may see an unusual “crop” in the fields: sprawling displays of metal and silicon panels. Instead of wheat, barley or beans, these farms produce energy in the form of electricity. Mainly found in rural areas where space and sunlight are abundant, solar farms produced 146 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in 2022. (For context, an average home in a mild climate consumes roughly 20 kWh of electrical energy in a day.) Underneath (literally!) these clean energy endeavors, you’ll find custom metal parts, which make up the various substructures used in solar farm installations. Solar farms have been popping up across the United States for decades and are growing substantially in [...]

Five Reasons to Use Corrugated Metal for Agricultural Buildings

Agriculture is a 24/7, day-in and day-out endeavor, and that doesn’t just apply to the people involved. It applies to the equipment and buildings as well. The forces of nature and the rigors of day-to-day operations create a challenge for building in agricultural settings. From barns, stables, and machine sheds to greenhouses and storage facilities, the importance of sturdy, long-lasting structures cannot be overstated. The demands of an agricultural setting – often involving exposure to chemicals, livestock waste, water, and weather – call for specialized building materials, especially (but not limited to!) roofing and siding. These buildings play a critical role in safeguarding valuable assets (livestock, machinery, seed, feed, etc.) and ensuring seamless operations. Construction in [...]
