Serious Platform has had many contributors in the past 13 years, but has been built primarily by Sean , Steve, and RJ. While the likes of Dale, Ed,Rob,Mike, Kenny, and several other have surely helped along the way.
Our basic premise is this:
" We can beat most Trailer Manufacturers at their own game"
After a customer understands that basic production trailer companies are in business to sell trailers and if these "cookie cutter "trailers lasted 20 years, then their customer base would need to be tripled at least to remain profitable. As everyone knows that there is only so much market share available, so it seems to me (in my humble opinion)............. that the "Industry Standard" is to build a trailer that will last long enough to pay it off and then "game over". Some trailers will simply self destruct, while others seem to last a bit longer.
NOTE: As in all things there are exceptions to every rule, and in my humble opinion there are a few companies that do not follow this trend.
In the Aluminum trailer world MAC Trailer has seen to it that their products constantly evolve for the better.
Also in my experience Nelson Trailers have always built the "Super Load" hauling trailers, but seem to make an endless array of equipment that putting it mildly is mind boggling. After rebuilding a 1981 Stepdeck Nelson "Y-Beam" I was able to see that the main problem with this trailer was simply rust (26 years later!!)
All trailers are affected by rust and corrosion. Here at S.P.P. we have been painting both kinds of these trailers with great success. Our thorough sandblasting and use of several types of Industrial/Automotive paint systems has also evolved over the years, and can protect your investment from rust that never takes a day off.
So with all of that being said, our mission is to treat trailers as a chain, meaning that they are only as strong as their weakest link. Most production trailers have been constructed with a high quality tempered steel (or aluminum), but have had some poor engineering or as I like to call it "Planned Obsolescence" built right into their design. This is bad for you the customer. The worst of these culprits will remain nameless on this site, however as an operator in the flatbed business I'm sure you already have a clue.
We can change all of this by first of all, addressing all of these "Problems" that cause the "Symptoms" that would bring you to our company in the first place.
