Model Tough Plate

From engineering to assembly, Stoughton dry van trailers are designed to give your fleet a competitive advantage. We have several new dry van trailers for sale, but when you choose to buy from us, you get more than just a dry van trailer. You get to experience the difference in quality and craftsmanship of a Stoughton brand trailer over that of other dry van trailer manufacturers. We pay extra special attention to the types of things that other dry van manufacturers neglect, so we can make sure to provide our customers with the most durable, productive, and reliable dry van trailers on the road today.

Stoughton’s new Tough Plate configuration has been enhanced with an integral ‘Tough Plate’ in the lower region of the side wall.

The added durability of this design feature, coupled with the proven Z+ type construction of the upper side wall, will resist even the toughest of environments, including the concentrated scuffing practices common to the operation of lift equipment.

The unique interface of the lower and intermediate extrusions to the tough plate have been employed to reduce the possibilities of water intrusion. In addition, there are no fasteners present in the area immediately above the floor.

In the ‘less likely’ event of damage, the unit can be easily repaired with standard shop techniques. At Stoughton, we believe a unit should not be kept out of service due to the expertise required to repair it.

The Stoughton Tough Plate Composite Van is ready for your toughest challenge
