5 Trailers Unveiled Monday for Mesquite ISD

Post author By Tyler Hadley
Post date August 14, 2017

On Monday, August 14, 2017 Clubhouse Trailers delivered their largest single order to date- 5 trailers for the Mesquite Independent School District. These trailers were all outfitted with full paint and graphics, as well as a suite of Clubhouse Features. Each Band’s group of directors had the opportunity to decide what features best fit their bands’ needs.

Three Bands (West Mesquite, Poteet, and North Mesquite) chose full width Hydraulic Ramps for rear entry to the trailer. The other trailers are outfitted with a set of aluminum Roll-Up Ramps.

The exterior graphics were designed by a Poteet Alumni, and matches each band’s unique personality. Our partner sandblasts and paints the trailers, and applies a high quality vinyl graphic across the trailer.

Four Bands (John Horn, Mesquite, West Mesquite, South Mesquite) chose to have Director’s Platform option, which allows easy addressing of a band before or after a performance.

Check out the beautiful rear doors and bumpers of these trailers!

A brief look at the graphic installations we have done. All of these trailers received sanding or sandblasting and new paint before vinyl graphic wraps were applied.

While some simply apply a full vehicle wrap– we professionally prep and paint our trailers, and then apply the printed or colored vinyl to the graphics areas.

Here, we have 3 freshly painted BEAUTIFUL trailers, shuffling around outside our shop as we begin the interior buildout. Our trailers are retrofitted inside our shop.

Lighting

Our lighting systems consist of 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 on the rear doors or rear interior wall (small trailers), and includes a switch to save your power once the trailer is closed up, so you don’t drain the batteries.

Exterior Lighting

Exterior lighting comes standard on all Clubhouse trailers. We understand the woes of loading by flashlight or headlamps after a late finals slot. With solar and battery powered lighting, your band will be able to safely load up at the end of the football game without having to worry about power. Plus, it lets your graphics still shine to everyone passing by!

Small trailers and semis benefit from an exterior lighting kit.

2nd Floor Barn Door Gate

The barn door fence is a great addition to increase safety for members walking and hanging out inside your trailer. The right portion can swing outward to allow loading of instruments by hand, or using our Tubavator™

Our Tubavator™ is a hydraulic lift that can move Euphoniums or Tubas from the ground to 2nd floor for storage. The barn door gate swings out of the way to allow easy loading and unloading.

Electrical Cabinet

The Electrical Cabinet houses the deep cycle heavy-duty battery, the charge controller for our solar charging system, fuse panel, and switches for lighting zones.

For our new Rack & Roll Trailer Layout, (and all hydraulic ramp equipped trailers) the electrical cabinet + power distribution system is moved to the rear of the 2nd floor.

Solar Charging Systems

Along with our lighting system, we provide a simple solution for charging, involving no stinky generators! 100W solar panel with a charge controller in conjunction with the deep cycle heavy-duty battery provides ample power to keep all the lights and ramps powered through a long contest weekend.

Retracting Inside Staircase

The retracting stairs behave just like our Side Entry stairs, which makes deployment a breeze!

In McKinney ISD trailers, a unique floor plan allowed a set of retracting staircase towards the front of the trailer as well.

Uniform Storage

With our uniform storage solutions, we can organize your trailer to fit up to 250 uniforms! Open racks and slotted options are available, creating a truly custom fit just for your band, with room to grow. While we love to utilize the space in the nose of our semis for uniforms, or the second floor in small trailer solutions, we will work with you to layout the trailer in a configuration that gives you the most flexibility and space utilization.

We can also provide smaller uniform storage solutions, as seen in Mesquite High School’s trailer. This is storage for Mesquite’s Pit Crew Uniforms.

The University of Kentucky chose to have one long row of uniform storage along one wall of their trailer.

Need storage for shako boxes? No problem! With shako racks or shelves, we can make sure your entire uniform gets to its destination ready for the next performance. Give us a call to find out how to add these options to your trailer.

Mesquite ISD High School Marching Band Semi Trailers Rear Ramps

Our aluminum roll-up ramps are a great, cost-effective alternative to our full-width hydraulic ramps! This set of three allows easy loading and unloading of all front ensemble equipment. The ramps are lightweight and can store flat in the bellyboxes, or can be turned upside down and rolled into a cylinder. Head on over to our website to learn more! #clubhousetrailers #marchingband #semitrailer #dci #texasbandmastersassociation

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.

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.

Electric Full Width Ramp

Our Electric Ramps are the product of iterations to improve upon our hydraulic ramp. They are still simple, controlled by a pendant on the back of the trailer, similar to our former hydraulic ramps. These ramps are powered also through the solar and battery system, have a 1,000lb weight capacity, and the tread provides great traction even in inclement weather. The ramp is run by electric actuators, meaning there are no hazardous lifting cables, and you don’t have to lift any heavy equipment to set it out for use.

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.

Does your band need a full width ramp to easily roll their front ensemble equipment into the trailer? Check out our 2 piece Hydraulic Ramps! #clubhousetrailers #semitrailers #marchingband #dci
