Sronger yet lighter
for extra payload
Clement’s
exclusive uni-beam aluminum bodies provide the greatest strength to weight
ratio. With Clement’s design, the massive top rails, bottom rails and side
braces constitute the longitudinal support beam of the structure. The body
sheet adds additional strength to the supporting structure.
What is Uni-Beam?
In
it’s simplest form, “uni-beam means locking the side sheets into a beam formed
by the supper strong,
rear double beam cross member
(figure 1); the side sheets (figure 2); and the headboard at the nose. The
body is then bolted to the sub-frame at the rear cross member and at
the front to an 8” beam (figure 3) giving the total structure tremendous “strength
to weight ratio” eliminating the need for longituditinals and reducing tare
weight. Finally, cross members made of exclusive 4” x 5” “U” shaped channel
extrusions on 16” centers lend support to a 1/4” floor, all providing a 
sturdy
body structure. This exclusive Clement design offers you the maximum payloads
with greatest strength for minimum downtime. For profit on the big hauls and
steady day-in and day-out operation, Clement’s aluminum trailers are your
best buy.
Clement's patented
three-cord drawbar
Clement's
patented three-cord tubular drawbar design pivots over bumps and holes. Wheel
contact at all times is ensured by the drawbar's "spring flex" action. With
"spring flex," the PupStar can move over rough terrain without breaking or
bending the frame. Turnovers are virtually
eliminated and the ride is much smoother.
Building a trailer is a lot like building a house.
Put
as much strength as possible in the foundation and the structure will be
strong and it will last! That’s the Clement philosophy. Clement starts every
trailer with 25,000-pound, 102-inch wide pro-par axles with parallel spindles
that provide the proper surface for common inner and outer bearings. Bearing
and
axle life are both greatly increased. Hub-piloted wheels are the final ingredient.
Hub-piloted wheels have no inner nuts and all nuts have right-hand threads,
plus there are only ten nuts instead of the usual twenty. This reduces both
maintenance time and costs. None of our competition has a stronger
foundation than the one that’s standard on every Clement trailer,
and few even come close.
