DuraPlate design advances a step sturdier
Jul 1, 2003 12:00 PM
Wabash National Corp has unveiled its new DuraPlate HD trailer. Drawing on the success of a proven product design, the DuraPlate HD trailer has a base plate design that provides an additional 22" of lower sidewall protection, where it is estimated that 90% of all trailer damage occurs. The DuraPlate HD does not require an interior scuff liner, reducing snagging and other damage costs associated with scuff liner use.
The DuraPlate HD also:
Allows for multiple repair methods to be used on the base plate for cost-effective, efficient repairs.
Eliminates the need for frequent maintenance and replacement of typical plywood liners.
Provides greater resistance against side swipes and other exterior damage occurring at the lower sidewall.
Delivers greater protection, thanks to a postless and seamless design.
DuraPlate panels are made from a composite material consisting of a polyethylene plastic core sandwiched between two sheets of pre-painted galvanized steel. Advantages include:
Resistance to punctures, scrapes, and buckling.
A polyethylene core designed to protect against corrosion and permanent deformation.
A postless interior maximizing interior width of 101½".
A white interior for a bright, work-friendly environment.
A modular panel design enabling easy repairs.
