Home » Truck & Trailer Solutions » Box Trailers
Dry van trailers are one of the most versatile and commonly used types of transportation equipment in the logistics and freight industries. With their security, durability, and cost-effectiveness, they continue to be a staple in the transportation of non-perishable freight. Their enclosed design offers protection against the elements, while their ability to carry a wide range of goods makes them ideal for a variety of applications—from e-commerce to construction and automotive transport. These trailers are pulled by a tractor to provide the power necessary to move the load. The weight of the tractor combined with the trailer allows for long distance hauls and high payload capacities.

Dry cargo trailer with HDPE composite panel technology
HDPE composite panels are made of high-density polyethylene as the core material, with other durable facing materials (such as aluminum, steel) bonded to the surface. They combine the durability advantages of polyethylene with the additional strength and rigidity provided by the outer facing materials. This makes them ideal for a variety of applications, especially in environments that require impact resistance, weatherproofing and easy maintenance. HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) composite panels offer a modern solution for dry cargo trailers that require a closed, secure and weather-resistant environment for the transport of goods. They are used in the construction of trailer walls and roofs, significantly improving the performance, durability and life of the trailer compared to traditional materials such as wood, all-steel or all-aluminum.
Benefits
- Lightweight construction.
- Corrosion resistant.
- Impact resistant.
- Easy to maintain.
- Environmentally friendly.
Durable Flooring
TOPOLOGROUP provides a durable and cost-effective flooring solution for dry van trailers. The specially treated bamboo plywood can effectively resist the damage caused by humid environment and cargo transportation, ensuring that the flooring maintains excellent performance after long-term use. This flooring not only has excellent durability and long service life, but also has a very high cost-effectiveness. It can help customers control costs while reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement. It is easy to maintain and economical and practical, making it an ideal choice for long-term transportation operations.
Trailer Aerodynamic Devices
Improving the aerodynamic design of a trailer can reduce air drag, thereby improving fuel efficiency, lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing vehicle stability. The main devices are the trailer skirt fixed to the bottom of the trailer and the trailer tail fixed to the rear.
Pre-Assembled Dry Van Trailers
Dry van trailers are designed as pre-assembled panels, floors and frames, reducing the time and labor required for full assembly. This modular approach ensures faster delivery and installation, perfect for businesses that require efficient installation. These trailers can be shipped to the destination in CKD (Completely Knock Down) or SKD (Semi-Knocked Down) form.
