    I pull a Fontaine Infinity Extreme Beam and let me tell you that rub rail set up is stout. So for them to be beat like that means they were hit hard.

    But they're great trailers. I love mine.

    I’d be highly pissed if someone did my trailer that way!

    I own a conestoga, I keep a very close eye on the clowns running the forklifts! Most like to use the rubrail as stop, I don’t allow that ####! Take care of your equipment best you can. Good luck with your new money maker.

    So it looks like Fontaine has a repair process for the RASR rub rail system. It's not as great as I thought it'd be, but it's not horrible.

    I had about 20' of rub rail damaged on my trailer. The parts were real cheap and it took an independent welder no time to replace it.

    It's hard to tell from the pictures but there doesn't look like much of an arch to that trailer. Has it been wrecked?

    Yeah that doesn't look like forklift damage, unless he hit it doing 60 mph.
