| TruckTainer Body Base Frames
Demountable Concepts, Inc.
is not a van body manufacturer, but will coordinate the implementation
of a customer's needs to provide a finished, road-ready delivery
fleet. Together with a national van body manufacturer, or working
directly with a customer's local truck body builder of choice,
Demountable Concepts will ensure that all aspects of your TruckTainer
fleet are implemented properly and efficiently.
All TruckTainer Demountable
Body Base Frames are manufactured to the specifications required
for each body type. Individually engineered for particular needs,
TruckTainer Body Base Frames are manufactured for all body types,
including van bodies, flatbeds, curtainside, refrigerated, and
specials. Body lengths available range from 10' to 28' for body
widths up to 102".
A Complete Sub-Assembly
TruckTainer Body Base Frames
are used in lieu of a truck body builder's standard crossmembers
and long sills. Constructed to the length and width required
to meet the needs of the body builder, TruckTainer Body Base
Frames are designed to be body builder friendly and require minimal
custom work by the truck body manufacturer.
Included in the Body Base
Frame sub-assembly are two full length tapered guide rails that
are designed to provide simple and safe alignment of the body
to the Chassis Lift. This self-aligning guide system allows for
a margin of error when mounting a demountable body. The specially
designed tapered guide rails automatically position the body
into the proper locking position, ensuring that the two rigid
body locking bars match the over-center locking hooks on the
Chassis Lift.
Fully Retractable Legs
At the core of TruckTainer
Body Base Frames are four rugged retractable legs that support
the freestanding units. These near maintenance-free legs are
designed for durability, longevity, and easy-of-use. Proven for
over 30 years, TruckTainer Retractable Legs are fully braced
and can withstand a 24,000 pound payload.
The Retractable Legs can
even compensate for uneven ground. The lower portion of the Retractable
Leg telescopes in 2" increments to help keep the body standing
level, While in transit, the Retractable Legs are stored out
of sight between body crossmembers - away from any possible road
hazards.
