The patented floor design is made possible by proven technology borrowed from the aerospace industry–StirLITE friction stir welding.

The supports are built into the StirLITE floor and joined together by friction stir welding. This unitized floor design means more strength at less weight.

The Fontaine RASR routed aluminum siderail is 12x stronger than the competition with more load securement options. Plus, it’s DOT rated the full length making load securement much easier.

Recessed siderail face protects conspicuity tape for better visibility, longer life, reduced maintenance cost and keeps you DOT compliant.

Sliding winch track on both sides of trailer for driver convenience and easier, quicker load securement.

The rope hooks can also be positioned to hold the winch pawl upright so that the winch can “free spool”. This makes it easier to pull more strap from the opposite side of the trailer.

Sliding chain tie-downs (turtles) are EASY to use and STRONG (5500 Lbs working load limit). You can position them with ease. They stow in a optional tool box rack when not in use.

The wiring harness runs down the center of the trailer totally protected by an aluminum cover plate. This virtually eliminates DOT inspection issues from weather related damage or road debris.

Upper coupler is steel reinforced above the kingpin and at the mainbeams for added strength and durability.

Built tough, the Infinity features 4 Inch I-beams on 12 Inch centers, one piece knee braces, RASR rail, and XtremeBeam mainbeams. Constructed with continuous welds on both sides of the upper and lower flange using Grade 130K load bearing material.

Competitors put their twist locks flush with the outside of the rail (right). Fontaine offsets theirs behind the siderail so that they are protected from forklifts and other impacts (left).

The Fontaine Trailer 4 step paint process ensures that each trailer that’s built receives consistent, high quality, and effective paint coverage on all exposed steel parts. Before the floor is installed, the entire trailer is sand-blasted, then a 2-part PPG wet-on-wet primer is used. The paint process and coverage thickness is recorded to maintain consistency.

Choose from Flat bed or Drop deck, Slide axle or fixed, Tandem or Tridem, TX models for hauling containers or frac sand; Lengths of 45, 48 or 53 feet. You also have your choice of  models with ratings of 52 or 55 thousand Lbs concentrated load in 4 feet and 80,000 Lbs distributed.
