|
Steel or Wood Platforms
Standard platform options include smooth steel, deck plate steel, or wood flooring
Wood platforms of dense southern yellow pine are pressure treated and available in a black or natural finish
Heavy duty and extra heavy duty platforms are also available with 1-3/8" Apitong hardwood floors (at additional cost)
Benefit: Choice of flooring makes the platform adaptable to whatever job you require. Pressure treated wood platforms are less susceptible to damage from rot or termites. |

Undercoating
Understructure of platforms are covered with a tough oil-based undercoating which meets all environmental regulations.
Benefit: An additional layer of rust protection. |
 |
|
Deeper Reinforced Pockets
New pocket design extends from the bottom of the platform rail to the top. This holds optional stake racks or sides firmly in place.
Each pocket is reinforced with a heavy gauge steel box welded into the side rail
Benefit: New design minimizes movement of the stakes/sides. Rattling is significantly decreased. |

Reinforced Steel Girder Understructure
Two full-length longitudinal sills of formed steel on regular duty models and structural steel on heavy-duty models and extra heavy-duty models.
Reinforced front to rear on both sides with multiple gussets.
Longitudinals and full-width heavy gauge cross members are interlocked and arc welded to the one-piece steel side and end rails.
Benefit: Unsurpassed strength and rigidity to support your heaviest loads. |

Platform Rails and Standard Lighting
Platform rails are roll-formed
Platform edges meet at 90° corners
Lights are rubber grommeted and have impact resistant reflective lenses
Includes wiring harness for clearance, marker, and identification lights (not installed)
Benefit: The roll-forming machine produces exact-formed parts with pre-punched pocket holes. Recessed lights and impact resistant lenses protect the lights from damage. |

Acrylic E-Coat Priming
Steel bodies enter a 12-state process which thoroughly cleans, rinses, and finally primes the steel by electrically fusing the primer to the steel. This process provides complete coverage to the body, even in the most hidden or recessed areas.
