Wabash Highlights Durable, Digitally Connected Trailer Solutions at TMC 2026
DuraPlate® dry van platform anchors integrated ecosystem designed to extend asset life, reduce downtime and improve total fleet performance
Wabash (NYSE:WNC), a leader in end-to-end supply chain solutions for the transportation, logistics and infrastructure markets, will demonstrate how durable engineering and digital intelligence are transforming trailer lifecycle performance at the 2026 Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition March 16-19 in Nashville.
At booth #3218, Wabash will showcase its industry-leading DuraPlate® dry van platform alongside new cargo assurance technology, digital configuration and order tracking tools and OEM-backed parts solutions designed to help fleets extend asset life, reduce downtime and maximize revenue potential from every trailer.
DuraPlate Platform on Display
The booth experience will center on a full DuraPlate® dry van trailer, highlighting the engineering, durability and serviceability features that have made the platform a benchmark for long term-fleet performance. Key features on display include:
- DuraPlate composite panel construction engineered for long-term durability
- AAR-rated galvanized kingpin package for enhanced corrosion resistance
- Galvanized components designed to extend service life
- Phillips rearview camera system for improved operational visibility
- Kinedyne J & K-Track cargo management systems
- Interior cargo cameras to support optimized loading visibility
- Advanced edge detection technology designed to improve operational awareness
Next Generations Cargo Assurance
Wabash will also showcase its new cargo assurance solution designed to help fleets strengthen cargo security and improve shipment visibility. The patent-pending solution integrates a digitally connected cargo door and an intelligent locking system with the TrailerHawk.AITM technology platform. By linking physical access control with real-time digital visibility, the system enables fleets to monitor cargo access, detect potential security risks and maintain chain-of-custom throughout transit. This approach transforms cargo security from passive monitoring into active assurance by creating secure points of contact at the cargo door and enabling encrypted communication, in-transit monitoring and proactive intervention.
The TrailerHawk.AI digital assurance and chain-of-custody workflows are in use today with carriers using the mobile application for inspections, verification and asset visibility. At TMC, attendees can experience live demonstrations of the cargo door and lock, along with TrailerHawk.AI workflows including real-time alerts, verified access and chain-of-custody tracking.
Digital Innovation Simplifying Order to Delivery
Wabash will also highlight a growing suite of digital innovations designed to simplify specification, maintenance planning, and parts ordering.
Solutions on display include:
- Spec It – digital trailer specification platform
- Track It – asset tracking and visibility tools
- Stock It – parts inventory management support
- PartsIQ – Wabash's e-commerce platform for OEM-backed parts
Combined with Wabash's nationwide dealer network and Preferred Partner Network, these innovations create a comprehensive lifecycle support ecosystem that helps fleets accelerate repairs, reduce downtime and maintain predictable maintenance costs.
"Wabash's presence at TMC reflects our broader focus of supporting fleets throughout the full lifecycle of the trailer," said Mike Pettit, Senior Vice President, Chief Growth Officer. "By combining durable engineering, OEM-backed parts availability, nationwide service support and digital innovations, we are focused on helping fleets improve operational efficiency, extend asset life and keep them on the road longer."
Wabash representatives will be available throughout TMC to demonstrate the DuraPlate® dry van platform, TrailerHawk cargo security technology and the company's integrated parts and digital fleet management innovations, while discussing strategies to help fleets improve durability, uptime and lifecycle performance.
