A trailer treated with zinc so it won't rust

Simply put, the metal used to make the trailer (steel) was dipped in another type of metal (zinc). This 'dip' coats the steel in a thin layer of zinc which keeps the steel from rusting. It works good and although not as pretty as a painted trailer it will last much longer.

The Bear Facts should check just that, the bear facts. Very enviromentally friendly to coat a trailer in lead, I don't think. The others were right, zinc dipped.

The trailer chassis is treated with a coating usually containing lead and tin to inhibit rust.

It means the steel is coated with zinc applied in an electrogalvanizing or dipping process. To resist corrosion.

Steel coated in a zinc plating which should prevent rusting. Realistically it won't stop it, but it'll at least slow it down.

This means that the metal frame has been treated with a special solution to stop it rusting.
