REFINEMENTS to the Lawrence David Slidax flush sliding-side van body increase cargo space so that metric pallets can be loaded two abreast.
Overload side-stops have been added to prevent any strain being imposed on the sliding-door mechanism owing to load shift.
Spring suspension of the bottom guides are designed to accommodate defelections on long trailers without loading the end doors.
An automatic flick-stop, recessed in the bottom side rails, positions the mid-span doors accurately leaving sufficient gap for the end doors to slide smooth] y into place against edge-seals.
Plastic pads now prevent scratching between the doors when they slide.
The doors can be insulated and provide side access to the load without reducing interior width.
