Using aluminum extrusions to build different parts of a truck presents many benefits. They include corrosion resistance, strength, and lightweight (fuel economy). Many parts of a truck are made from aluminum extrusions. A good example is the doors, which can be designed according to the customer’s specifications because aluminum allows for flexible design. Provided the doors are designed together with quality seals, dust and moisture will be kept off.

Truck roofs are also made from extruded aluminum. They work perfectly together with aluminum roof bows and wall panels to ensure that the product not only meets the customer’s size requirements but also prevents the entry of weather elements.

Truck frames are also made from aluminum extrusions. Customers have diverse requirements, and aluminum is capable of meeting most of these requirements. For instance, truck frames need to be lightweight. Alongside this is the requirement to be sturdy because the trucking industry is synonymous with extreme stress.

 

Other parts of the truck that use aluminum extrusions include:

  • Battery Tray
  • Thermal management components
  • Ramp
