Plastic guides
Theseplasticguidessupporttheoorproles.Whentheseplastic
guidesareworn,thebottomoftheoorplankwillalsoaffectthe
top of the cross members.
Checkthebottomoftheoorplanksonceamonth,whiletheooris
moving, behind the last axle underneath the trailer.
Theplasticguidesarewornwhenthebottomsideoftheoor
plank touches the cross member. Contact your service outlet if plain
aluminium becomes visible.

End caps
Thealuminiumendcapsareweldedtooorplankstoensure
thatnoloadcangetundertheoorplank.Afterseveralyearsof
intensive use, the weld seam on the top will wear off slowly (see
photo). Regularly check the end caps and contact your service
centreforrepairs.Aminorrepairisnownecessarytoavoidmajor
consequences.
Wear plate
Regularly check the plastic or stainless steel plate located under the
oorplanksattherearofthetrailer.Ifitisheavilyworn(seephoto),
unnecessary forces will be applied to the end caps during unloading.
Thiscausesthemtodegradeearlierandwarpstheoorplanks.
