2" X 3" Tubular Steel Subframe - 3 times stronger then aluminum.
5052 Aluminum body design using space age structural adhesives - This increases structural strength over welded bodies by as much as 30%. Total elimination of weld cracks commonly associated with aluminum welding.
R-5 roof insulation with double layered roof design - Reduces excessive heat, cold and noise.
Body construction of 5052 Aluminum - Increased tensile strength over commonly used 3031 aluminum of many competitors.
All dissimilar metals are isolated with structural adhesives - Eliminates corrosion around fasteners.
Entire body uses double walled construction with 45 degree corners - Increases strength and creates a more appealing "finished unit"
Co-polymer wheel wells - Resists denting and reduces side-impact damage.
Three piece diamond plate roof cap - Seam location completely eliminates leakage in compartments. Also prevents entire roof replacement in case of vehicle damage.
Four-Point chassis frame mounting with 70 durometer rated isolators between body sub-frame and chassis - Prevents vibration being transferred into the body of the vehicle.
Deep center compartments - Good access for large rollout trays or optional fire pump installation.
Various compartment configuration options available - Transverse compartments can be located in any or all locations.
Twenty (20) Year Structural Body Warranty
Advantages of Structural Adhesives Verses Welding
Over 10 times the surface adhesion compared to welding, eliminating stress concentration and uniformly distributes loads.
Eliminates body cracks from welded surfaces
Effectively bonds dissimilar metals such as steel subframes and aluminum body structures with no galvanic reaction. Steel subframes are normally 3 times stronger than aluminum.
Ease of repair - no need for specialized aluminum welding processes or expensive repair facilities.
70% reduction of body vibration. Structural adhesives isolates chassis vibration throughout the body.
Withstands extreme temperatures without weakening structures and reduces corrosion.
Waterproof seams. Welded bodies are normally "Stitch welded" and must be caulked to make compartments waterproof.
Significantly increases bonded material integrity. Will not create metal fatigue as a result of welding aluminum.
Increased compartment space and reduced seam visibility.
Increased stiffness of the body structure as compared to welding.
