TO PROVIDE positive loadshoring for cargoes which do not quite fill out the full length of a vehicle body, Tautliner manufacturer Boalloy Ltd, of Congleton, Cheshire, has devised a hinged bulkhead which folds away when not in use to form part of the vehicle's central partition.
One of its main benefits is that when nOt in use, it occupies none of the usable load space in the body.
The system has been designed for use in bodies which have a central end-toend partition providing a positive buffer-stop for side-loaded palletised goods; and it is suitable for operators whose cargo is likely to fall short of the full body length by a fixed and predictable amount.
The double-sided partition is built so that it stops short about 3ft from the front of the body.
Hinged from the end of the partition at each side are the load barriers — which are plywood-panelled doors about half as wide as the vehicle platform.
When the pallets in the Tautliner body fill up the full load space, the barriers are simply folded longitudinally, so that they form the forward 915mm (36in) of partition.
Spring-loaded bolts secure them to the ceiling and the floor.
When the pallets on one side of the partition stop short of the front of the body, then the load barrier on that side is simply swung through 90° to form an intermediate bulkhead.
