The Automount system is among the most automatic demountable systems yet developed the driver does not have to leave the cab. Automount can be fitted to all makes of two, three and four-axle rigid vehicles in all weight classes up to 20 tons gross. Davies Magnet does not make bodies but all types of body such as flats, vans and bulkers can be used in conjunction with Automount. No chassis modification is required to install Automount and manufacturer's chassis warranties are maintained. Unlocking of the body, jacking and lowering of the demount legs is all controlled by the driver from the cab and thus the space required at the side of the vehicle to operate the legs and so ,on of some systems is saved, allowing much closer parking of bodies for loading and unloading. Automount uses a self-contained electrohydraulic jack to raise and lower the bodies.
