Aluminum Sheets for Trailer

Aluminum sheet for trailers is a flat rolled aluminum sheet designed specifically for trailer manufacturing. Made from high-strength aluminum alloys such as 5052, 6061, or 3003, these sheets are favored for their lightness, corrosion resistance, and durability. They are commonly used in cargo trailers, semi-trailers, RV trailers, and utility trailers to improve fuel efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance structural integrity. Wanzhi Steel can customize aluminum trailer sheets in different thicknesses and widths and accept various machining processes. We stock various series and welcome you to contact us to learn more.

Colors and finishes

① Glossy (bare aluminum): Natural metal look, simple and affordable.

② Painted/Coated: PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is UV-resistant and available in white, silver, and black. Epoxy: Scratch-resistant for industrial trailers. Wanzhi Steel offers custom color options.

③ Anodized: Hard, corrosion-resistant coating (gold, black, or clear).

④ Embossed/Textured/Perforated: Non-slip surface (for trailer floors).

Key features of aluminum trailer sheet

① Lightweight and strong: Density: 2.7 g/cm³ (about 1/3 of the weight of steel). Tensile strength ~210 MPa for 5052-H32 grade and ~310 MPa for 6061-T6 grade.

② Corrosion resistance: Naturally forms a protective oxide layer to prevent rust. Ideal for road salt, moisture, and adverse weather conditions.

③ Excellent formability: It can be easily bent, welded, or riveted without cracking. Suitable for complex trailer body designs.

④ Long life: 10-20 years of service life with very low maintenance costs (compared to 5-10 years for steel).

⑤ Recyclability: 100% recyclable and can be reused for a second time.

Types of aluminum panels for trailers

① By alloy type

• 3003: Good formability, medium strength.
• 5052: High corrosion resistance, marine grade.
• 6061: High structural strength, weldable.
• 7075: Ultra-high strength (aircraft grade).

② Classification by state (hardness level)

• H32 (5052-H32): Semi-hard, suitable for bending.
• T6 (6061-T6): Heat treated for maximum strength.
• O (annealed): Soft, best for deep drawing.

③ Classification by thickness

• 0.8mm-1.5mm: Lightweight trailer siding.
• 2mm-5mm: Heavy-duty flooring and structural components.

Common Applications

Application of different types of trailers

1. Cargo trailers: walls, roofs, doors.

2. Flatbed trailers: decks, ramps.

3. Refrigerated trailers: insulation.

4. RV trailers: exterior cladding, awnings.

5. Car transporters: floors, wheel wells.

Trailer aluminum sheet grades and uses

• 3003: PE coated for light trailer panels and linings.
• 5052: 5052-H32 for side panels, interior roofs, painted for freight trailer floors and exterior walls.
• 6061: 6061-T6 is used for chassis components and heavy trailers.
• 7075: Military/special trailers.
