Abstract
A trailer and method of assembling a trailer is disclosed. A trailer or motor vehicle may include a frame having fabricated beams. The beams generally include a web section and a pair of opposing flanges. The flanges may be I-shaped or T-shaped, and include web-receiving slots. The flanges may also include obtuse ends along the flange portions thereof, which may also include recesses for cross-member securing fasteners. Top and bottom portions of the web are inserted into the web-receiving slot of a flange and secured therein by a plurality of fasteners. The fasteners for may comprise self-piercing rivets. Because the beams maybe assembled solely with fasteners and without welds, the web and flanges may be pre-coated to provide a finished beam upon assembly. Consequently, the entire frame may be assembled with fasteners, and consequently, may be shipped in pieces and assembled with fasteners at a remote location.
