Steel trailer weight
Steel is one of the most common materials used in the construction of ship trailers, especially for larger ships. The steel offers great resistance and can withstand significant loads. Steel trailers are usually heavier than aluminum trailers because steel itself is a dense, durable material. A steel trailer can weigh from 500 to 1,500 pounds, depending on its size, design and weight capacity of the ship’s trailer. The additional weight makes steel trailers ideal for transporting larger ships. However, steel trailers are more susceptible to corrosion, especially when exposed to salt water environments. As a result, regular maintenance and corrosion protection are needed to expand the life of a steel trailer.
