Driving long distances can leave your tractor-trailer susceptible to damage. Commercial trucks and trailers experience anything from minor wear and tear to more severe issues requiring full-service maintenance.
While there are preventative maintenance measures you can take to keep your commercial trailer in peak performance, such as:
- Checking fluid levels
- Replacing parts that wear quickly, like air filters and brake linings
- Inspecting tires & brakes regularly, and
- Ensuring the electrical system is in good order
You can’t predict when your tractor-trailer might end up with a dent, cut, or abrasion.
Maintaining your semi-trailer can be costly. However, you do want your commercial trailer to look professional. Having the option to do minor wall repair patches can save you time and money.
An aluminum patch kit like VanFastic is an excellent option to perform an emergency roadside repair, prevent further damage, and continue your journey.
What is VanFastic?
VanFastic is a waterproof aluminum trailer wall and body patch panel. You can use it to repair holes and other cosmetic damage on many types of truck bodies and trailers, including refrigerated trailers.
The best part is it’s easy to use!
VanFastic wall repair patches are self-adhesive and can easily be cut to size with regular scissors. They can even be used around corners, over rivets, and for roof repairs.
How to Use VanFastic Aluminum Patch
This quick YouTube demonstrates how easy it is to cut and adhere a VanFastic aluminum patch to the side of your commercial trailer or truck body.
How Long Does VanFastic Last?
It’s important to note that VanFastic isn’t a long-term trailer repair solution. It is an emergency repair kit meant to prevent further damage.
More extensive trailer repairs or damage that involves structural components, such as side posts, should be inspected by a semi-trailer repair shop as soon as possible.
