Trailers Built for Agricultural Drone Spraying Crews
This page is for crews running drone spraying and spot-treatment services for pastures and crops. Drone spray operators haul drones, battery banks, charging generators, mixing tanks, and chemical totes to job sites across several counties. Batteries and chemicals both need secure, level, corrosion-resistant carrying space.
Star Manufacturing builds every trailer in Wharton, TX on a 5/16" thick, 3×5 heavy angle frame, seam welded for strength, and finishes it with a full hot dip galvanized coating — the entire trailer submerged in molten zinc rather than just painted. Laser cut, tabbed-and-slotted components give a precision fit.
What Agricultural Drone Spraying Crews Need in a Trailer
- Deck room for generators, tanks, and battery cases
- Tie-down points for chemical totes
- Corrosion resistance against spray chemicals
- Stable ride for sensitive electronics
Why Frame Strength and Galvanizing Matter
Repeated heavy loading, rough rural roads, and outdoor storage are hard on a lightweight or painted trailer. A seam-welded 3×5 angle frame resists fatigue and flex, and full hot dip galvanizing protects every seam and joint from rust, including areas paint can't reach. For a business whose trailer is part of daily work, that means fewer repairs and a longer service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size trailer should I choose?
Match length to your largest regular load. See the sizing table above, or call (979) 532-1486 and we'll talk through your operation.
Is hot dip galvanizing worth it?
For equipment that works outdoors year-round, yes. Full immersion coats every surface, inside and out, so rust can't start at welds or hidden seams.
Can I get a custom configuration?
Yes. Start with the quote builder or contact us to discuss options.
