Louisiana cattle ranchers know corrosion better than anyone. Between the humidity, the salt air, the bayou water, and daily washdowns, a painted cattle trailer has a hard life in Louisiana. That's exactly why Star Manufacturing builds hot dip galvanized cattle trailers.
Why Galvanized Matters in Louisiana
Louisiana's climate is one of the most corrosive in the United States for steel equipment. A painted cattle trailer in Louisiana typically shows rust within 3-5 years. A hot dip galvanized trailer? 30-50+ years of service with minimal maintenance.
Hot dip galvanizing isn't a spray or coating. The entire trailer is submerged in molten zinc at 840°F. The zinc bonds metallurgically with the steel — it doesn't chip, peel, or scratch off.
