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.
