In business for 26 years, Thompson Fabricating has built its
reputation on building high quality containers that will provide our customers
extended years of quality service. Continuing our efforts to provide the best
quality product, we are implementing a design change to the tailgates of every
Thompson Fabricating container. Various design ideas were considered and assessed
in order to ensure we are meeting the needs of our customers.
Starting this month, we are rolling out the new tailgate
design using structural 4” x 3” x 1/8” tube, resulting in a stronger tailgate
and clean design aesthetic. Our previous design used a 4-way bent 10 gauge
horizontal crosspost on all tailgates. This previous design, which is common in
the industry, resulted in water collecting in the bottom of the formed
crosspost, leading to rust and deterioration over time. Using the structural tube
in our new design will allow any water to pass behind the tube and eliminate
this issue. This improvement will not increase the price or weight of your
containers.
We stand by the quality of our products and know that this
product design change will provide greater strength and longevity to our
containers. If you should have any questions, please reach out to your sales
representative directly.
Thank you for your friendship and your business. We look
forward to working with you soon.
