The Wink Trailer Corporation is excited to introduce the "Innovator," the newest, most efficient model plastic and aluminum composite design ever built.This patent-pending design has once again taken approximately 1,000 additional pounds out of the empty weight by eliminating the need for side and floor sheets (that are traditionally made of aluminum) by replacing them with UHMW plastic. UHMW plastic is a proven product that is used as a liner in most aluminum trailers. UHMW will reduce sticking and wear, while adding some impact protection.

The unique design by Wink offers an inexpensive way to color match your trailers to your truck, by offering the UHMW in almost any color. This composite design makes cleaning the trailer inside or out much easier than any other designs. The UHMW is virtually a stick free plastic that prevents heavy materials from sticking and building up on the inside or outside. The UV components in the UHMW have been designed to reduce or eliminate the problems caused by elements of weather and sun.

Another benefit of the Wink design is reduced insurance cost. As a fleet owner, one of your biggest costs is insurance. The Wink design can help prevent the Current Market Values (CMV) from totaling out the trailer. Unlike traditional designs, the CMV often determines whether or not your used trailer is worth fixing. This design will reduce the cost of repairs in a tip over to the point that it will be hard to have a trailer that is not worth the effort and cost to repair it. Wink estimates that the repair cost to replace a section of the top rail, side supports, draft arms, hoist and tarp should be between $10,000 to $12,000 in most cases, compared to traditional trailer tip over repairs, estimated to be between $16,000 to $25,000.

The Wink design eliminates the need to support the plastic with a solid aluminum sheet by using innovative shapes for support. The Wink design allows extremely easy repairs by reducing the replace- ment cost of aluminum sheets, saving up to 50 percent or more in material cost. Traditional designs require that the sheets be cut off and replaced in most tip overs, with the estimated hours to remove and replace the sheets to be between 40 to 60 hours per side. With the Wink design there are no sheets to be cut off and welded back. The circumferential supports can be cut off and replaced in sections, reducing the labor by 40 to 50 hours per tip over.

The Wink design can save days of down time with a one piece plastic sheet that makes replacing the worn out floor or section much quicker compared to conventional designs. The estimated cost to replace the entire UHMW liner in the Wink design would be about the same cost or less to replace a floor section in a traditional aluminum sheet design.

The Wink "Innovator" Half Round Model . . . is impact resistant to larger size materials, even at below freezing temperatures. Load and unload materials like 80 lb. riprap with ease!

Wink Trailer Corp. has designed its flat floor square trailer with this revolutionizing composite design to produce high cube dumps, tippers, walking floors, containers and roll off boxes that are lighter, have greater impact resistance, corrosion free, eliminate load sticking and are easier to clean compared to the current designs.
