Retrofit Trailers

Retrofit upgrades with pole retention for safer, longer-lasting glass or window transport.

Retrofit Trailer Upgrades allow existing transport trailers to be enhanced with Metalcraft’s proven Pole-Based Window Retention System. This upgrade delivers safer, more efficient handling while protecting frames from transit damage and extending trailer service life. Bearing surfaces are clad with non-marking polymer foams that prevent rub or abrasion, keeping glass and joinery in pristine condition from factory to site—an ideal solution for upgrading customer assets to current safety and performance standards.
