BASIC TRAILER DESCRIPTION Trailer - its main load-carrying component - is its beams. Most models are built using I-beams, which consist of top and bottom flanges connected to a thin web. In use, beams convert the vertical loads of the cargo into tensile forces on the bottom flanges and compressive forces on the top flanges. For a higher strength platform trailer beam, the usual method is to increase the thickness of the flanges, although that comes at the cost of increased weight. One of the ways flatbed manufacturers refer to the strength of their trailers is in beam ratings. A beam rating is a theoretical calculation of the structural capability of the platform trailer's beams. Beam ratings are a function of trailer length, kingpin and suspension locations, beam design, flange and web strength, flange thickness, and type of loading (evenly distributed or concentrated).
