As the manufacturer of the first reefer (refrigerated) trailer in 1940, Great Dane has established itself as a leader in innovation and engineering when it comes to trailers of every type. This article will take a look at how Great Dane trailers are raising the bar when it comes to the manufacture of high tech, fuel efficient trailers for independent drivers and small businesses.

CorroGuard

When it comes to the lifetime expectancy of your trailer and its various parts, corrosion is the biggest enemy to your trailer components. CorroGuard is Great Dane’s answer to this problem. By creating a barrier between the caustic elements your trailer is hit with while on the road your trailer is ensured a longer useable lifespan. Whether it is severe temperatures, moisture, de-icing salt, or sand and gravel, CorroGuard is designed to shield the undercarriage of the trailer to prevent the corrosion these elements ultimately create, which would otherwise lead to rusting and equipment deterioration. Most under carriage coatings slowly deteriorate over time, while CorroGuard is specifically designed not to crack, peel, split, or flake even under the harshest conditions.

ThermoGuard

Great Dane’s ThermoGuard is an interior liner for refrigerated trailers that helps to maintain top insulation performance over the life of your trailer. This results in lower operational costs year after year, due to a reduced need for the refrigeration equipment to run. With less maintenance needed and increased fuel efficiency, ThermoGuard will help extend the life of your equipment and trailer. The thermoplastic liner is glass reinforced, and its tight seal helps to limit the amount of insulation out gassing which would otherwise degrade the insulation over time. Additionally, this interior reefer liner is extremely lightweight, which means that your truck can be hauling up to 200 less pounds for the same load of goods.

EPA Smartway

Long haul trucks are some of the largest producers of carbon emissions that negatively affect the environment due to their constant need to be on the road and shipping goods across the country. To reduce the impact that semi trucks and trailers affect the environment Great Dane has partnered with the EPA’s SmartWay program. The goal of this program is to reduce overall emissions and improve fuel efficiency, which will go a long way to helping the environment while allowing truck drivers to save money on gas. Great Dane is offering new aerodynamic designs and improved tires with low rolling resistance, as well as ways to retrofit these upgrades and more to older trailers that still have several years of life ahead of them.

These are just a few of the ways that Great Dane trailers are improving the long haul experience for the businesses that rely on their equipment, as well as the final impact on the environment. The constant drive for improvement and innovation has made Great Dane one of the leading companies when it comes to refrigerated, dry freight, and platform trailers.
