Rear Swing Pillars: Maximising Loading Efficiency for UK Pallets

When it comes to optimising the loading process for commercial vehicles, every inch counts. That’s where Rear Swing Pillars come into play—a design innovation that eliminates common rearframe obstructions and enhances loading flexibility. Whether for new builds or retrofitting, this feature is a must for operators looking to increase efficiency when handling UK pallets.

How It Works

The Rear Swing Pillars system allows the two rear vertical pillars to swing outwards in tandem with the vehicle's rear doors. This is made possible by the installation of heavy-duty hinge sets, strategically positioned forward of the rear on both the roof cant rails and the side raves. Once the pillars swing open, they move entirely out of the way, offering a clear and unobstructed loading space.

Powered Option for Added Safety

For those looking for additional convenience and safety, we also offer a powered version of the Rear Swing Pillars. This system utilises pneumatic rams to automatically open and close the swing pillars, reducing manual intervention and eliminating the risk of injury to the operator. The powered option is an ideal solution for environments where speed and safety are paramount.

Key Benefits

The primary advantage of the Rear Swing Pillars is that they provide an aperture width wider than the vehicle itself, which is limited to 2550mm wide. This allows for the loading of two UK pallets side by side, measuring 2400mm across, without the rearframe obstructing the process. This is particularly useful for operations where fast, efficient loading and unloading are crucial.

Additionally, the modification is versatile. Whether you’re specifying it for a brand-new build or looking to retrofit an existing fleet, the Rear Swing Pillars can be easily integrated.

Why Choose Rear Swing Pillars?
