What type of steel are Gator Pits constructed from?
I can tell you the quality of the steel used for our Gator Pits. I have contacted my steel suppliers and recieved faxed data from the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM International), Volume One , Number 4, published 2003 and is published annually. The title is “Standard Specification for Carbon Structural Steel”. According to my steel supplier and the data provided, Gator Pits are constructed with a 36,000 yield point and a 58,000 to 80,000 tensile strength. As far as weight: This is simply a matter of wall thickness and diameter of the carbon steel. Gator Pits are constructed with a minimum of 1/4″ thick wall steel including the trailer frames. Customer’s can opt for a thicker wall (3/8″, 1/2″ and greater wall thickness), which will increase the pit’s weight.
