Strick Trailers
Separate cast aluminum corner caps provide greater resistance to damage in this vulnerable area. When damage does occur, replacement parts and labor are cheaper than comparable one-piece nose rail repairs.
Improves the strength of the monocoque design. Maintains a taut ceiling structure and provides a roof crown to facilitate water run-off. An extra bow in the front helps with racking stability.
No skimping here. The Strick upper coupler assembly, including full 5/16" pick-up and bottom plates, are tough and long lasting. The turned-up front lip on the pick-up plate offers extra protection when hooking and unhooking.
ELECTRICAL - Strick's standard split harness runs down both sides of the trailer to provide more direct power delivery and access points, fewer junctions, and greater ease of troubleshooting and maintenance. Molded PVC plugs and drop-outs protect the system from water intrusion and shorts. Return ground further reduces corrosion points and shorts. The Phillips Q-Box on the nose provides convenient access to connection terminals and allows more room for accessories (dome lights, flood lights, lift gates, tire airing systems, etc.). All lights are LED with the ABS and lower rear marker lights are flush mounted in the lower wing plates.
5" width standard Strick clip provides improved bottom rail connection strength and longevity over industry-standard 4" end clip.
Snap-in / snap-out. Heavy duty durability. Low maintenance from reduced damage and ease of replacement when necessary. Clean white, environmentally friendly, American recycled plastic.
