Aluminum trailers can have many purposes. They can be used to transport horses, cars, tools or landscaping equipment.
Because aluminum is a lightweight metal and does not rust as quickly as steel, it makes it ideal for trailer construction, reducing the load to increase fuel efficiency, and makes it longer-lasting than other metals. But over the course of use, an aluminum trailer may become dented. Rather than taking it to an auto body shop, you can repair the dent yourself.
When you are working as a heating, ventilation and air conditioning service technician, also known as an HVAC technician, your set of gauges is one of your biggest assets.
Gauges are used to read the pressure of various liquids and gases in a cooling system, as well as vacuum pressure when you are pressure testing or charging the device. There are a number of different ports on the HVAC gauge set, also known as a manifold, and the main difference in the types of manifolds is the number of ports that you have available to attach accessories to, as well as the pressure that the gauge set can withstand, which is important when working with different refrigerants.
