Engineered from the Start
BRAWN components are designed into the structure from day one, not added after the fact. That means consistent strength where it matters most.
Built with BRAWN
Where Quality and Integrity Come Together
Your trailer isn't just equipment. It's your mobile shop, your storage, your jobsite partner. With BRAWN integrated into the structure and roof, Cross Trailers performance goes even further.
BRAWN ESP Floor & Wall Panels
On a jobsite your trailer takes a beating, and BRAWN strengthens the core components you rely on most. BRAWN Engineered Structural Panels go into both the floor and the walls. The floor takes heavy equipment, point loads, and constant foot traffic, while the walls hold their shape and provide a solid substrate for mounting shelving, racks, and equipment. Built to handle daily abuse, job after job, without the degradation you typically have to plan for.
High Load Capacity
Consistent strength across the floor and walls helps prevent weak spots and soft areas over time.
Impact Resistance
Holds up to dropped tools, equipment movement, and repeated use better than traditional wood-based materials.
Moisture Resistance
Minimizes swelling, warping, and rot from water, mud, condensation, and jobsite conditions.
Fastener Holding Strength
A consistent substrate for mounting shelving, racks, and equipment, important for contractor upfits.
BRAWN ACP Panels
BRAWN SuperStratum™ Aluminum Composite Panels form the trailer's exterior skin. Dual aluminum face sheets are bonded to a fire-retardant core, delivering exceptional dent resistance, protection against oil canning, and a smooth, high-end finish that holds up to the road and the years.
Dent & Impact Resistant
Dual aluminum face sheets shrug off dents and dings from road debris and daily use.
No Oil Canning
Engineered to stay smooth and flat, avoiding the waviness common to thin metal skins.
Weather Resistant
Sealed composite construction stands up to moisture and the elements over the long haul.
Smooth, High-End Finish
Delivers a clean, premium exterior appearance that lasts.
Optional · Available on Select Models
BRAWN LightLID™ Roof
A trailer roof does more than keep the weather out. BRAWN LightLID is engineered to provide both protection and functionality, giving Cross owners a smarter roofing solution built for demanding environments, with natural light where you need it.
Built for the Elements
Engineered to withstand harsh sun, heavy rain, debris, and everyday wear while maintaining long-term performance.
Natural Daylight
The translucent design lets natural light into the trailer, making it easier to locate tools, equipment, and materials.
Durable by Design
Engineered to resist weathering, moisture intrusion, and environmental stress, helping maintain protection year after year.
Enhanced Working Environment
More natural light creates a brighter, more usable workspace, whether you're loading equipment or organizing tools.
