Project Size

Steel: 5.5 tons | HDG: 5.5 tons (~11,000 lbs)

Components

Trailer structure (tubular)

Built for the demanding conditions of utility-scale solar construction, the Solar Reel Trailer keeps renewable energy projects moving efficiently in the field.

Designed to transport and deploy massive reels of electrical cable across solar sites, the trailer must withstand abrasive soil, moisture, UV exposure, and heavy equipment traffic. To ensure long-term durability, hot-dip galvanizing was selected to protect the entire steel structure.

Weighing approximately 11,000 lbs., the trailer's size and tubular design required close collaboration between the fabricator and galvanizer. Early planning ensured proper venting, draining, lifting, and design considerations for a successful galvanizing process.

The result is complete corrosion protection inside and out, delivering exceptional durability, abrasion resistance, and low maintenance in harsh environments.

The Solar Reel Trailer is a great example of how smart engineering, collaboration, and hot-dip galvanizing help support the future of renewable energy.
