The length, thickness, chemical composition, and physical properties of rails used in truck trailers should meet specific conditions. Aluminum extrusions are your best bet for the quality, durability, and reliability of truck trailer rails.

Common types of rails built using aluminum extrusions are:

  • Frame rail
  • Base rail/High base rail
  • Nose rail
  • Roof rail
  • Rub rails
  • Front top rail
  • Front bottom rail
  • Bottom side rail

The designs of these rails vary significantly. Because aluminum extrusions are versatile, they are also incorporated into these rails.
