If you’re shopping for dry van trailers, it won’t be long before you see that the Utility 4000D-X Composite trailer outshines the competition in every way. Designed for unparalleled strength and durability with a lower tare weight, Utility’s 4000D-X series supports maximum productivity and lower operating costs.
Royal Truck & Utility Trailer offers the largest inventory of dry van trailers in the Midwest. As a full-service Utility Trailer dealer, we can help you find the ideal dry van to suit your company’s needs and provide service, accessories, and parts to keep your business moving.
Dry van shipping is critical to keeping our economy moving. Whether shipping boxes of cereal or vital healthcare equipment, you need a robust and reliable trailer to keep loads safe and secure during transport.
The Utility 4000D-X Composite trailer checks all the right boxes when balancing a low tare weight with extra durability to handle any load. The trailer’s side walls feature an injected polyurethane foam core that is adhered to lightweight aluminum exterior skins, providing exceptional durability without adding unnecessary weight.
Composite dry vans also guarantee top-tier performance, thanks to maximized interior cubic space and 80K steel logistics that strengthen the side walls and better secure cargo.
Utility’s engineers designed the 4000D-X Composite trailer for maximum efficiency in every aspect. The lower tare weight helps keep fuel costs in check, while the advanced design elements support greater productivity and logistical efficiency. Features like the 27-inch integrated threshold assembly and Snag-Free interior walls make loading and unloading faster and easier, reducing the risk of damage from forklifts or trailer floor decay.
Utility Composite trailers at Royal Truck & Utility Trailer can accommodate just about any load that doesn’t require temperature control. If it fits, it can ship in these versatile and durable trailers. In addition to consumer goods like clothing, electronics, and furniture, dry vans can transport machinery, industrial parts and equipment, and more.
Every dry van has a bottom rail, an aluminum piece that connects the side walls to the trailer bottom, adding strength to the overall construction. Inside the trailer, the bottom tail also protects the side walls against forklift damage, which is common while loading and unloading cargo, especially unusually shaped or oversized items.
The Utility 4000D-X Composite TBR dry van has a unique Tail Bottom Rail (TBR) that is 10 inches taller and 50% thicker than the standard dry van bottom rail. This design is ideal for heavy-duty applications where the trailer walls will likely sustain forklift damage or pallet impacts. This ensures reliable long-term performance and fewer repairs or maintenance challenges without sacrificing cargo room or adding weight.
Dry van trailers are the workhorses of the logistics and shipping industry. Utility 4000D-X Composite trailers take their design and construction to the next level.
