How Beavertail Defines ‘Seamless’
Seamless means the coaming rails are welded flush to the chassis with tie-down points built into the structure, no bolted joins or exposed gaps where load straps can snag or where water sits and starts the rust cycle.
The practical payoff? Faster load restraint, a cleaner working deck, and a trailer that demands significantly less maintenance over its operating life. This build philosophy extends throughout the deck, including the flush 5mm checker-plate floor with in-deck tie-down points that sit perfectly level with the floor surface.
