8 features to quickly understand the trailer fasteners

The category of fasteners is very expansive. Generally, appropriate fasteners need to fit to their specific application scenarios, which involves the consideration of materials, surface treatment, mechanical properties and so on. This article will help you quickly realize the characteristics of fasteners used for tracker and truck through nine aspects.

1 Trailer fasteners consist a range of fasteners including bolts, nuts, screws and so on.

However, we have also developed targeted fasteners from the huge catalog, such as floorboard screws, carriage bolt, shackle bolt, top lock hex nut. Each of them has specific design uses and application methods. Please click here to see more trailer fasteners.

2. Tracker fasteners are often used in the following vehicles: truck, tracker, boat and other utility

Specifically used for attach tracker bunker boards or attach frame hardware to tracker

3 Trailer fasteners are commonly used to fasten the following materials: wood, glass fiber and metal

This is determined by the materials used for the deck and the frame hardware.

4. Mechanical performance: required to have certain shockproof and anti loosening design.

Taking top lock hex nut as an example, they do not ready loose when placed on bolts This makes them useful for holding wheels onto axles, or in automotive engines where machine vibration would otherwise loosen the fastener.

5 Chemical properties: when facing the outdoor environment, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of anti-corrosion and anti acid

The supplier or manufacturer usually generally consider maximum corrosion resistance in salt water environments according to the application position of fasteners. In the service environment without special requirements, the SST can be carried out for 24-48 hours only. However, if it is required for long-term exterior service, it is also very common to put forward the requirement of SST up to 1000 hours.

6 Surface treatment: provide targeted surface treatment according to service environment

Most of the trailer fasteners are zinc plated. Those with severe environmental service requirements will choose the stainless steel material or galvanized, Dacromet and other exterior coatings in order to pass the SST for 1000 hours
