Coronavirus Update

Welcome back to the blog.

We've been monitoring the situation with the spreading novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19/Wuhan Flu). The situation continues to develop day by day and we'd like to take a moment and update our customers and readers on how this affects Trailer Blocks and your products.

We remain open for business! As we operate exclusively as an e-commerce business, we have no physical storefront and you may continue to submit orders online. Our normal channels of communication are open as normal. Our small team of quality oriented craftsmen are taking every personal measure possible to help reduce the spread of the virus.

As per Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's address Monday morning; commerce and trade remain open between Canada and the USA despite the border shutdowns, there are no major shipping delays or complications for our American customers expected at this time. We'll notify any affected customers as soon as possible if anything changes in the future.

We'll continue to stay informed regarding the pandemic and we'll update you with any new and pertinent developments. In the meantime, stay strong and healthy in these turbulent times.

Best regards,
From your friends at Team Trailer Blocks.

Anodized Trailer Blocks - Back in Stock!

Welcome back to the blog!

We'd like to gladly announce that we have restocked our anodized lift/lowering block inventory and all previously sold-out options are available for purchase once again!

Additionally, our anodized inventory is now offered with MIL-8625 Type III hardcoat! The process for Type III utilizes sulfuric acid and lower bath temperatures which results in a thicker, stronger hard-coating on the finished product. This darker finish for our blocks grants greater corrosion and abrasion resistance making it an ideal option for industrial applications, damp climates, harsher winter road conditions, marine, and saltwater applications. The anodizing conforms to MIL-8625 Type III Class 1 & 2 and AMS-2469.

Type III Anodized vs Classic

We'd like to thank all of our readers and customers for their patience and support as we've been rebuilding our inventory. If you have any questions about our anodized blocks, please leave a comment below, email us at: contact@trailerblocks.com or reach out to us on social media.

Thank you for your interest,

Team Trailer Blocks

Canadian Astronaut Sideboard Social

Posted by Blog Master in CSA, space, Space Matters

Welcome back to the blog!

We're taking a little off-topic adventure at Trailer Blocks: The Canadian Astronaut Sideboard Social. In this article, we wish to acknowledge and pay homage to some of the exciting developments underway at The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and take a look at some of the people who make it all possible.

First off, many are familiar with Canadian friend Chris Hadfield, past commander of The International Space Station and spacewalker.

Hadfield commanded the I.S.S. in 2013 before his return to Earth, the first Canadian to do so. He also gained further notoriety via social media with his widely popular rendition of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" which garnered over 40 million views on Youtube, turning him into a Canadian cultural icon practically overnight.

Upon his return, Hadfield wrote an autobiography and went on many speaking engagements further expanding on his experiences onboard the I.S.S. as well as highlighting the importance of space travel to humanity. Commander Hadfield's contributions to increasing the public's investment in space news and developments cannot be understated.

Less known but equally heroic is relative CSA newcomer David Saint-Jacques.

Saint-Jacques is part of the first team to fly the Soyuz rocket-pod again after the mission MS-10, carrying American Nick Hague and Russian Aleksey Ovchinin, suffered a stage 1 booster failure and subsequent launch abort earlier this year.

David flew aboard Soyuz mission: MS-11 with American Anne McClain and Russian Oleg Kononenko and successfully reached man's most remote outpost on December 3rd 2018.

SpaceX followed-up with Mission CRS-16, launching the Dragon spacecraft into orbit and then rendezvousing with the ISS orbiting laboratory. Apparently, the Dragon brought Christmas treats for the holiday season to be enjoyed and celebrated in space!

We're also closely watching the developments of Canada's only commercial spaceport with hopeful interest.The site will be located near Canso, Nova Scotia on Canada's eastern shores.

Canada stands at an important juncture in its national development where advancement in domestic aircraft production has been widespread but the development of spacecraft has been lacking.

It is of vital importance that humanity becomes a space-faring civilization and it's our responsibility to contribute to that long-term goal, no matter the size of that contribution.
