Fruehauf Trailer Corporation, previously Fruehauf Trailer Company (1918-1963) and Fruehauf Corporation (1963-1989),[1] was an American company engaged in the manufacture and sale of truck trailers, and other machinery and equipment, with headquarters located in Detroit, Michigan. It was founded in 1918 in Detroit, after August Fruehauf created the semi-trailer and launched a new industry. The Fruehauf trailer company introduced revolutionary inventions to trucking and transportation with hydraulic dump trailers, bulk tanker trailers, and automatic fifth-wheel couplings among their more than one thousand patents, including the shipping container in 1956. Expanding across the country, Fruehauf had 16 plants and more than 80 distributorships for parts and service. Globally, the company expanded into Europe, South America, and Asia.
Following a proxy battle in the late 1980s the company filed for bankruptcy protection in 1997. International divisions became independent, U.S. subsidiaries such as Kelsey Hayes, Pro-Par, Budd Wheels, and Hobbs were sold; Wabash National acquired the crippled company in 1997.
The company's founder, August Charles Fruehauf (1868-1930), was born in Fraser, Michigan, the son of Sophia and Charles Fruehauf.[2][3] He began his career as a Detroit-area blacksmith and carriage builder. In 1914, a local businessman named Frederic M. Sibley asked Fruehauf to build a trailer that could be towed behind a Ford Model T and transport a boat to upper Michigan. Fruehauf successfully built the device, and Sibley requested he build additional trailers for use on his lumber yard.[4] Fruehauf would call them "semi-trailers", and his product proved popular. In 1918, he incorporated his business as the Fruehauf Trailer Company.[1][5][6]
The semi-trailers soon demonstrated their practicality and orders came in from competing lumber dealers and any manufacturer who wanted to expand their customer base. Closed van trailers were designed and put into service. Industries such as dairy and fuel oil were revolutionized with this "go-anywhere" type of transportation. Capitalizing on August Fruehauf's slogan, "a horse can pull more than it can carry, so can a truck", the company continued to grow. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Isn't it oh so satisfying, after the painting is done, to.peel off those long strips of masking tape to reveal the paintwork below?
The kit went together really well. Wouldn't it be cool to have Yosemite Sam cartoons for the mud flaps?
Lovely job, Chris.
Love this kit!! 👍
The Loads you can put on it are endless. 🙂
As a kid of the 80s, I just love these AMT trucks
Very cool! I love making weathered builds tons more than pristine, showroom builds.
Great video! I see the model roundup sticker on your bench!!!
Another great build Chris, love getting tips from your videos. I've built a few AMT Fruehauf trailer kits. I found if you glue the axles to the radius rods/track rods instead of the spring packs and let the rods move freely in their sockets (think of the back wheel on a motor bike), you can achieve the look of suspension travel if you display the trailer on rough terrain.
Great kit...but should have the hooks to fasten the chains. Great Video as always!
Like this trailer behind a semi tractor, I found this video easy to follow. I wasn't sure about the blue at first. But after the detailing - it's just right. Thanks for the build. Me? I'll be rolling along...
I'm still catching up with your builds but I like this kit and the weathering is very nice, for future reference those side rails are called rub rails, they protect your chains and straps from being ripped off in an accident and they are not supposed to have any tie-down equipment outside those rails, and the front panel on a flatbed is called the header, it's good for light loads but coils would just roll right through the cab, nice job Chris
That is one heck of a flatbed! Great weathering detail! Can't wait for this one to come out!
Now you know what to get me for X-Mas Chris. Keep em coming, I'll keep watching.
maybe make some hooks for the headache plate and hang the excess chain on there. nice build
That's called a suicide load them chains need like eight on each roll real life nice build
That's final destination movie vibes.
Actually 3 per coil.... 2 pulling back and one pulling forward.
@@billmcmurtrie1142 I want more on them more is better
Lets see your collection of models
Thanks for sharing this build process. I really enjoy watching your weathering techniques.
I just recently watched your D8 build. Very impressive. I can see my modelling improving from picking up on the skills you demonstrate in your videos. 👍🇦🇺
Great job, Chris, as always.
Great job on the trailer Chris! Love the wood.
Great build, presentation and weathering tutorial 👌!
This is an impressive kit owing to the many different loads you can put on it. The steel rolls are interesting, but the main thing that does it for me is the woodgrain on the bed and the weathering potential - so many of these trailers I have seen are very old and the wood is either broken or rotting. Again, another impressive build.
Looks very realistic!!
Great video Chris. Your weathering looks nice. I really enjoyed building this kit the last time it was out.
Great job on this semi-trailer. Turned out so well.
Very realistic Chris! Nice work!
Great job on the trailer
Nice build sir! Bought them when Ollies was selling them cheap! Have several of these.
Me too, ollies had em for around $20 I think
Nice build Chris, keep up the great work
OUTSTANDING BUILD❗ Unfortunately not enough chains ⛓️ on the loan. No way in hell would they be able to pull that off. BUT‼️ you could display it with the 1970 Ford Galaxy police car sitting behind it as if he was pulled over. 😆
Love it!
Very nice build. Excellent work on the trailer bed. That is amazingly realistic. It looks like a very nice kit. Thanks for sharing.
I guess it's not a good idea to get chains from the wife's jewelry box. LOL! Looks great.
A friend of mine used to work at Freuhoff in Middletown, PA. Until they closed their doors and moved.
Looking great an another awesome build thanks for the time you spent on are videos Cris
No problem 👍
Looks great mate👍👍
I've never tried building a semi or trailer I may have to build one
That is a nice build and those decals are awesome especially the mid west lumber out of Big Rapids MI I live in Big Rapids MI that is pretty wild thanks for the Big Rapids shout out.
👍👍
Nice kit and build 👌
Great video. I have done this one up as a car hauler. Made my own car ramps. Yours looks better. Dang it. 😁
Legal load needs 3 chains on each roll depending on the weight being loaded . Those rolls are roughly 20,000 lbs each . 35 years driving o t r .nice build though
I thought they also had to be loaded per the box art? Otherwise that mass is just begging to ride along in the cab every time you have to lean into the brakes...
Kl
I built this over 40 years ago and the Dayton rims, hubs, brake drums and coils were not chromed. Could not say about the time in between.
The decking that I have seen on flatbeds has been oak and without maintenance /preservatives weathers to a light gray.
What type of glue are you using and where can I get it? Keep up the great work 👍👍
Just checked. Round2 has the kit.
great video what kind of glue r u using
SOOOO KOOOOOLLLLL !!!
Very nice build but that load setup would never fly in the real world. Imagine if that last coil chain broke. The other two coils are not likely to stop it. The result would be three multi tons of cold rolled steel crashing through the back of the tractor cab. In a hard braking scenario, anyway..
I think they would be sideways like the box art. Either way there definitely was crazy dangerous truck and train loads back in the day
How cool would it be if they provided decals for the ends of the rolls of steel.
I want that
Which truck would you model this with?
Have u ever built a125 scale 1969 mach1 mustang amt ertle made in 2004? Body is to short for frame color blue on box
Good stuff. I do wish Round 2 would look at some newer trucks/trailers rather than just continuing to re-pop these 50-60 year old kits. I would Dearly like to see a a heavy duty low boy trailer. Maybe Mobius might get around to making one.
I agree Patrick
Italeri has a bunch. Kinda pricy and everything is mostly EU based unfortunately
Chris how long do you wait after black primer to apply color?
What glue did you use for the chains?
Could you please tell me what colors you used for the wood on the flatbed
I wish they would re-tool the wheels. Those "California" style wheels have not been used for decades.
Each roll would need at least two chains to secure them. So none of the load is actually secured.
So when we going to have new kits
