Factors like residential and commercial use, profit potential, and current and long-term business needs should all be considered. SprayWorks Equipment is here to help you assess the options for box trucks, trailers, and containers so you can find the ideal rig.
| Rig Type | Best For | Typical Size | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trailer | Varying load sizes; mixed residential and commercial | 16–30 feet | Flexible |
| Box Truck | Small-to-medium businesses wanting all-in-one | 16 feet and up | Moderate |
| Container | High-production, large-scale commercial jobs | Stationary | Maximum |
Trailers: Versatility of Varying Loads
Spray rig trailers are highly versatile, so they’re a great choice for businesses that will need to haul different capacities depending on the job type.
At SprayWorks Equipment, we offer custom rigs that can accommodate standard trailers, hitches, fifth wheels, and goose-neck trailers, so no matter what kind of vehicle you’re working with, we can adapt.
Key points on trailer rigs include:
- Market-driven build – The type of trailer rig build will depend heavily on your specific market, so reviewing pertinent details with our team will be essential during selection
- Size range – Trailer rigs usually range from 16 feet to 30 feet in length
- Larger loads – Contractors that carry mostly larger loads will likely want a customized spray rig for goose-neck trailers or a fifth wheel
- Diverse use cases – Our custom trailers can be designed for diverse purposes – serving as sprayer trailers for residential insulation, foam trailers for commercial work, and multipurpose polyurea sprayer trailers
Box Trucks: The All-in-One Solution for Small to Medium Businesses
Another excellent option for spray foam businesses is a box truck rig, which serves as a smart, compact, and integrated system that simplifies projects.
Key points on box truck rigs include:
- Streamlined logistics – All-in-one, drivable units make logistics and transportation easier, and keep you from having to hitch and unhitch a separate unit
- Right-sized for most businesses – Box trucks are often the ideal choice for small and medium-sized businesses, with custom options more suited for larger businesses
- Flexible configurations – Our economy, high-production, and custom spray rigs can all be customized for most box trucks 16 feet and larger
- Retrofit expertise – SprayWorks Equipment is adept at retrofitting existing box trucks, providing certified experts who can optimize the rig’s space and customize components
- Cost savings – These customizations can bring significant cost savings for companies, especially larger operations that already have a fleet of vehicles in need of update
Containers: Maximum Capacity for High-Production Jobs
Sometimes spray foam operations need an option that goes beyond the capabilities of trailers and box trucks, requiring a high-production, comprehensive solution. Enter spray foam container rigs.
Key points on container rigs include:
- Excellent for more complicated jobs – Stationary and extremely high-capacity setups can work well on projects where trailers and box trucks won’t suffice
- Recommended setups – High-production spray rigs are well suited for containers, so we offer this as a standard feature option for these units
- High-volume work – Such high-production setups suit contractors who often work on high-volume roads, bridges, and commercial roofs in excess of 40,000 square feet
- Maximize storage – Companies that need maximum material storage and equipment space can greatly benefit from heavy-duty spray foam container rigs
