Towmaster prides itself on building tough trailers built for tough duty.  In 2010, they made the decision to start hot-dip galvanizing their trailers as a competitive advantage. Originally, Towmaster was a little concerned about galvanizings finish, as they were competing with painted trailers. However, they knew hot-dip galvanizing would provide a longer life for their trailers keeping them looking great longer than painted counterparts and ultimately saving money. 

With that in mind, Towmaster collaborated with the galvanizer during the design of the trailer to be sure every square inch of exposed surface would be coated. Working together, the design engineers were able to ensure 98% of every trailer is galvanized, and thus afforded a long maintenance-free life, even after continual exposure to road salts. In addition to economic savings, Towmaster is able to utilize the galvanized trailers two to three times longer than the painted ones, which also conserves natural resources. Thanks to Towmasters forward thinking and specification of hot-dip galvanizing, their trailers will lead the way in sustainability, sustainability, and cost effectiveness for generations.
