TO COUNTER the threat of pilfering from slashed sidecurtains, BoaHoy of Congleton has produced a new and (provisionally) patented design of curtain with a metal-reinforced inner screen attached to it.
The Woven polyester panel has 0.9mm (0.039in) diameter x 14 strand stainless steel wires, depending on the height of reinforcement required. These are sewn into it longitudinally 76mm or 102mm (3in or 4in) apart and run the length of the curtains.
In addition, pockets are let into the panels vertically to house 4mm (0.16in) diameter steel rods set at 102mm or 152mm (4in or 6in) centres. They can be fitted in full length or in short staggered patterns. Both wires and rods are secured at random to one another with metal clips to hold them in position and prevent them emerging from the fabric.
Panel sizes can vary from a full one which extends the full curtain height to one that rises from the bottom edge to a point beyond normal reach.
The steel reinforcing panel weighs approximately 0.65kg per sqm (0.13 lb per sqft).
On a standard 7.3m (24ft) Localiner body for a 7.5 tonner, around 150kg (331 lb) is added to the unladen weight, depending on the size of mesh specified.
