Results for 'front bulkhead'

Front bulkhead deflectors or 'domes' have become commonplace on aerodynamically-aware fleets conscious of  their impact on the environment.

This front top corner design replaces the historical aluminium capping with a heavy-duty steel version which protects either side from branch damage.

Positioned on the front bulklhead, an Anderson connector can provide 24V power from a suitable tractor unit to both tail-lifts and Lifting Decks. The "175" refers to the Amperage rating of 175A.

This "Iron Man" corner capping fits over an existing aluminium corner capping without adding extra height.

Double Decks are prone to tree damage; particularly on countryside routes. These corner protectors fit to the top of each corner capping and are designed to deflect much of the impact damage that would otherwise occur to the corner capping.

Don-Bur introduces 1000 hole walling solutions for garment carriers. This steel side wall covering allows flexible placement of shoring poles/garment rails, maximizing load fill without damaging structural panels.

Why Camera Monitor Systems? The size of commercial vehicles and machines mean vehicle blind spots are a major factor in collisions across all industries.

This Bullbar fits to the top of the front of the roof and is designed to deflect much of the impact damage that would otherwise occur to the roof, front corner cappings and top header rail.

A simple webbing strap attached to either front or back pillars in order to loop around the curtains and keep them captive in windy conditions.

Enhance safety for height work with the fall arrest system. Roof-attached strap allows free movement and locks in case of a sudden fall. Works with operator harness for comprehensive protection.

A staple minimum compliance requirement for ferry crossings. Attached to the chassis, they typically come in 6 pairs; one pair in front of the landing legs, one pair in front of the bogie and the remaining pair at the rear.

The "dropping" of a trailer is caused by drivers failing to lower the landing legs. Leg-Safe alerts the driver if legs aren't lowered during de-coupling.

Don-Bur's Roof Protection System prevents damage caused by over-height items in Lifting Deck trailers. Infra-red sensors trigger an automatic stop if the curtain is broken, avoiding costly roof repairs and downtime.

The Boat tail aerodynamic solution can be retro-fitted to trailers fitted with doors and folds flat when not in use to comply with type approval.

Next-Level Night Vision for Commercial Vehicles Engineered for around-the-clock clarity, the VT Nightsight is a breakthrough in vehicle camera technology.

A fifth wheel is the horizontal coupling plate on a tractor unit which slides underneath the trailer bed plate during coupling. It has jaws which clamp onto the kingpin.

Landing Legs are a pair of heavy duty support legs, located behind the bed plate, which support the weight of the front of the trailer when the trailer is uncoupled.

The bed plate (or rubbing plate) is a heavy duty horizontal plate on the underside of the front of the trailer which is designed to sit and slide on top of the tractor fifth wheel. It houses the kingpin.

The capacity and pallet footprint of any trailer depends on many factors. On this page, we highlight the different trailer types and the expected capacity.
