Custom Graphics

Custom Vinyl Wraps

Set your program apart with a Custom-designed vinyl wrap. Let our designers showcase your marching band everywhere you go.

Your custom graphics journey begins with a questionnaire. Our designer will connect with you about ideas you may have for the look of your band’s new trailer: We start with a broad concept of theme and concept. Our artist then takes this to the drawing board and gets a mock underway. At the same time, we conduct a survey of your trailer, measuring locations of doors, and handles, as each trailer can vary slightly. These positions will be included in your specific mock drawing.  

Once the initial mock has been created, our designer sends it back to you. This is where you get to whittle down the broad strokes into fine detail. Our designer then takes your notes and ideas back to the original mock and works those into the design.

The mock is then sent back to you for approval, or another round of revisions. Once we receive final approval, your new design is sent to our vinyl team to print and laminate. 

After printing, the panels are then attached together. The entire trailer is hand washed so the wrap adheres properly, then the wrap is hung on the trailer as one entire piece for each side. Our vinyl installers meticulously apply the wrap over each rivet, latch, and around each door.

Ready For Your Custom Design?

Every trailer and graphic design comes custom tailored for your goals. Our graphic designers work closely with you to create a memorable show piece. Every design starts with a phone call to outline your ideas. Not sure you want a full build? No problem! We can do graphics-only projects as well. 

We are continuing to add more graphics options as well, stay tuned for design options with your new custom vinyl wrap!

Lighting

Our lighting systems consist of 13 interior lights, illuminating the 1st and 2nd floors, as well as door mounted exterior flood lights for late-night loads.

All lighting inside and out is LED, and powered through a marine-grade deep cycle battery. A roof-mounted solar panel mounted keeps batteries charged and eliminates the need for a generator.

Inside and outside lights are all controlled from a switch panel and all lighting systems include a power cabinet. These power cabinets include a fuse panel, solar charge controller, shore power outlet, and for ramp equipped trailers, the hydraulic power unit.

Rear Ramp Options

Hydraulic Full Width Ramp (Legacy)

Our 2-piece Hydraulic Ramps are a simple, 1 button deployed and retracted system, and allows incredible flexibility for loading and unloading both floors. The ramp folds up just inside the door, and takes up minimal floor space.

Exterior Flood Lights and Hydraulic Ramps
20150804_201123Hydraulic Ramp extendingTrailer ready for loading!

The hydraulic ramp option is made up of the aluminum dual stage ramp as well as the 12 volt hydraulic power unit, its cabinet, a heavy equipment battery and a roof mounted solar panel to keep that system charged. The electrical system for the ramp is independent of the trailer and does not require a generator for power or to be plugged into the tractor. The unit is a sealed closed-loop system and is maintenance free once it is installed.

Fiberglass or Aluminum Ramps

Our aluminum ramps are an alternative lightweight solution to our hydraulic ramps. Each ramp is about 30 pounds, and can be easily stored in a belly box, or can roll up when flipped upside down.
