• Kentucky Trailer adds LED lights, other enhancements on 2014 models

    July 1, 2013

    Custom trailer manufacturer Kentucky Trailer will be installing dual-function mini-LED lights on all 2014 models among other enhancements for its new product line.

    The LED lights boast a 50,000-hour life and are seven times brighter than the minor function. They provide improved straight and angled visibility and draw less amperage.

    A user-friendly exterior light replacement kit will also be available. An improved nose box switch features a long-life LED that uses less power.  Additionally, a new top rail with an internal raceway will protect wires from damage and external elements.

    The rear header lights and clearance lamps will also utilize industry-leading, dual function mini-LED lights, offering an advanced notice of stops and turns to following traffic.

    Resilient, hard-coated door hinges and side door pans will now contain an anodized finish as well. This will prevent seizing, increase product life, and protect against causes of corrosion including magnesium and calcium chloride, the company said.

    Painted door hinges and side door pans are also available to complement each trailer's appearance.

    Kentucky Trailer also improved corner castings for increased structural integrity and to improve water penetration protection and impact resistance.
