Testing, care and maintenance
Aluminium
Fig. 87
Aluminium, anodised
Aluminium components or aluminium profiles offer optimal
protection against corrosion.
Anodised aluminium surfaces are hard / smooth and can be
cleaned with gentle cleaning products.
In order to remove severe dirt contamination and to retain
the gloss of the aluminium, we recommend using an
aluminium and tarpaulin cleaner.
Scratches on the surface are not defects and will not cause
rust to form as aluminium is resistant to corrosion.
Optical disadvantages are not a reasons for a warranty
claim.
Clean the aluminium surfaces with water and neutral
cleaning products.
Painted and powder-coated steel parts
Fig. 88
Painted surfaces
Painted surfaces / components provide slight rust
protection.
Painted surfaces / components which are directly exposed
to the affects of brake dust, gravel, road salt, sand etc. need
to be cleaned thoroughly to ensure that the painted surface
looks good and to provide long-term protection from rust
forming.
Clean the painted surfaces after they have been in
contact with substances which attack the surface.
Let the surfaces dry out properly.
Seal the surface with wax if required.
Paint damage (flaking, scratches) on the surface should
be immediately rectified by a qualified specialist.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces are very robust and resistant to
environmental influences.
In environments with a salty atmosphere, e.g. by the sea or
when transporting a wet load, e.g. in a refrigerated box, a
rust film can form on the stainless steel surface.
Remove rust from stainless steel components using
conventional stainless steel cleaner.
Let the stainless steel components dry out properly.
Wooden components
Fig. 89
Wooden cargo bed / multilayer wooden plate
Wooden floors / cargo beds are made of robust, water-
resistant, laminated multi-layer wooden plates that are
coated with anti-slip phenolic resin.
Wood is an organic material and is strongly affected by
water-logging, UV radiation, extreme dryness, overload and
concentrated load.
Wood is subject to weather-dependent expansion or
shrinkage, which may cause tension and tension cracks
(hairline cracks). Natural wood grain and irregularities are
normal for wooden materials and can appear on the
surface. This does not pose a safety risk and does not
provide a valid reason for warranty claims.
Avoid puddles forming on the wooden surface.
Damages areas in multi-layer wooden plates, e.g. Indents,
scratches do not impair its functionality. These areas can be
treated with wood protection products to prevent water
penetration.
Note:
Underlay such as rubber / anti-slip mats, cardboard protects
the surface of the multi-layer wooden plate when
transporting and when loading / unloading and increase the
service life. When loading / unloading, make sure that the
load is not slid along the surface where possible.
