ABSTRACT:
A trailer body construction includes a floor, a roof, and a pair of sidewalls, each sidewall having at least two groups of generally flat, rectilinear plates of lightweight metallic material of a predetermined width and height aligned in side by side relation. The plates of each group have a uniform thickness with the plates of a first of the two groups being appreciably thicker than the plates of the second of the two groups. The groups of plates are selectively arranged in each sidewall so as to achieve enhanced strength at selected regions of maximum deformation induced stress. A plurality of joining panels of metallic material are situated on only the exterior surface of each sidewall for joining and strengthening respective adjacent pairs of plates.
