Damaged trailer. Will this cause me a problem?

I'd rivet a 1/2" piece of stainless in there cut to fit

 

It's probably just breaking the skin over the insulation. The whole point of those beams is to reinforce it, but hit it hard enough with a pallet under the plastic and it'll compress the insulation when it flexes.

 

Do not put wood anything on the inside walls of a reefer, that is not food grade.

 

brother @Big Road Skateboard suggested steel. I would use steel also probably if I was in this position. Definitely wouldn't use wood.

 

Reasonably thick aluminum plate will be lighter than steel. It will cost more, but in a reefer, steel will rust eventually, even if it’s painted

 

Just put a 3"X 1/4" aluminum. Cover the whole ting and you'll block the RA flow.

 

The insulation is compromised, it has to be repair right, that means going to a shop the manufacturer recommends.

also when you drop a load, inspect the trailer for damages, if there is, then have the receiver write it up and pay for the repairs.
