panels – efficient, light-weight, and incredibly strong
design that provides exceptional resistance to damage, leaks,
and corrosion. Panels are composed of 80,000 psi yield steel
skins with a polyethylene core. The bond between the skins and
core form an added barrier that won’t deteriorate and
is impervious to water. |

double bolted to the high strength aluminum extruded rub rail
using stainless steel bolts. Alternating crossmembers are gusseted
to longitudinal with steel wheel pan supports over the wheels.
|
|
|
| "Longitudinals"
- Structural steel "C" channel (height dependent on
chassis mounting requirements). |
|
|
"Floor"
- 1 1/8" laminated hardwood, each board installed with
two 5/16" countersunk screws at
each crossmember and securely joined to adjacent boards by shiplap
joints and an added crusher bead to ensure a tight seal. |
|
|
| "Interior
Light" - Roof-mounted dome light, with switch on wall
inside rear door opening. |
|
|
| "Exterior
Lights" - Marker lights recessed in roof cove with
exterior wiring in protective groove. All connectors shielded
from moisture by heat-shrink insulators. |
|
|
| "Reflectors"
- Installed as required to comply with FMVSS. |
|
|
| "Undercoating"
- Petrol base (not paint) on full understructure. |
|
|
"Mounting"
- Body mounted on customer-supplied chassis. Hardwood filler
strips are steel-
banded to top of chassis frame rails. Zinc plated U-bolts are
placed through crush pipes (between frame rails) to hold body
in place more securely and to prevent over-tightening and bending
of frame rails. Structural steel "side-standards"
are welded to longitudinals to prevent shifting side-to-side. |

| Heavy-duty
one-piece translucent or aluminum sheeting is tension fitted
and bonded to 18 gauge galvanized steel anti-snag roof bows.
Each roof bow is double-riveted to extruded high-strength aluminum
alloy roof coves. Our unique two-piece roof-rail design not
only increases structural integrity, it also means the roof
can be easily replaced (if damaged) without disturbing the sidewall
structure. For uncompromising strength, we feature a "Zephyr"
front nose and heavy-duty cast aluminum (not plastic) corners.
The 12" radius aerodynamic design reduces air resistance
and helps deflect overhanging tree branches. |

Crossmembers
- Hi-tensile steel 3" steel I-beams on 12" centers,
double bolted to the high strength aluminum extruded rub rail
using stainless steel bolts. Alternating crossmembers are gusseted
to the longitudinal with steel wheel pan supports over the wheels.
DuraPlate Panels - DuraPlate is an
efficient, lightweight, and incredibly strong panel that provides
exceptional resistance to damage, leaks, and corrosion. The
exterior steel skins are made of 80,000 psi steel, and the polyethylene
core and the bond between the skins and core form an added barrier
that won’t deteriorate and is impervious to water. With
no plywood construction, there is nothing to rot.
DuraPlate side panels are 48” wide, designed
with ship lap seams, and secured together with industrial strength
adhesive to create an incredibly strong panel. This post-less
design creates an ideal surface for custom graphics. Each panel
is bolted at the bottom to the heavy-duty extruded aluminum
rubrail.
Hardwood Floor - We use quality
1 1/8” thick laminated hardwood, installed with two 5/16
" countersunk screws per board at each crossmember. Each
board is joined using ship-lap joints, and an added crusher
bead is used to ensure a tight fit.

We
custom build all side and rear swing doors to ensure a precise
fit and positive closing and use only DuraPlate® panels
for toughness and durability. Our DuraPlate door panels are
composed of 13mm, 80,000 psi yield steel skins. Heavy-duty extruded
aluminum hinges with stainless steel replaceable pins are standard,
along with stainless steel bar lock hardware.
|
|
|
 |
|
We
use heavy-duty, 11 gauge galvaneal steel and reinforce all internal
and external stress points with steel plates (shown in yellow).
Each frame is assembled in a spinner jig for ease of welding
to ensure the best possible weld penetration. A tapered sill
provides proper water run-off. The result is a rugged frame
that will withstand your tough loading conditions.
