Depending on the body type, HENSCHEL aluminium platform bodies are lighter than the conventional steel bodies by up to 30%. For example, the 2.00 m-long platform body weighs only 140 kg.

If requested, the platform body length can be ordered in bespoke lengths, in 100 mm intervals.

SUBSTRUCTURE

› The substructure is made out of 100% aluminium. Its low tare weight increases the carrying capacity of the vehicle, and thus gains 30% advantage over conventional platform bodies in this respect.

› All components are bolted, not welded. This makes them less susceptible to corrosion.

› All visible components are anodised.

› Consoles bolted to the subframe are factory-integrated with the platform body and prepared to the specific dimensions – this ensures the quick and easy installation of the body on the vehicle.

PLATFORM

› Side boards with anodised aluminium profiles are lightweight and corrosion resistant. The standard height of the side board is 400 mm.

› The integrated locks (Kinnegrip™ T50) are made out of aluminium and plastic. They are particularly simple and easy to use.

› The locking lever opens completely upwards. It does not protrude from the board and thus it doesn’t present a risk of injury.

› In the closed position, levers are completely hidden in the side profile of the board.

› The rear board is equipped with a folding step with a safety lock to easily get on and off the loading area.

› The lashing rings (according to DIN 75410-1 / EN 12640 – for securing the load in compliance with regulations) are embedded in the floor.

› The side boards can be easily removed without tools.

FLOOR

› Due to its top coating, the multi-laminated plywood with a screen-printed surface is particularly durable, abrasion-resistant and non-slip.

› As it is bolted, the floor can be replaced when necessary.

› Environmentally-friendly production with a certified environmental management system – 100% of the trees come from FSC-certified resources.

› The edges are impregnated along the entire perimeter. This ensures a longer working life.

Of course, we also supply hardware: for example, bulkhead-gantry, tail gantry rack and fenders.
