Construction
Coach built vehicles are constructed from 17mm glasonite panels, with thicker high gloss GRP on the outer wall to give a strong smoother finish. Galvanised steel cross members are used with a choice of aluminium or wood flooring in the horse area. A choice of rubber mats or granulistic for floor covering.
To keep weight to a minimum 2mm GRP is used for the horse area ceiling, dividing wall covering and 3mm for outer ramp face. The skirts are constructed from fibreglass, with a wide step constructed from light weight steel.
The ramp is probably the most important part of construction. It needs to be strong with good quality materials to meet the demands put upon it, but still remains easy to lift. Under slung springs are used and all steel work is prepared and treated to prevent corrosion.
Conversions - if you are keeping the box on your chassis the back end is cut off and all inner and outer walls sanded to enable good adhesion of the new aluminium panels. All other aspects of construction are the same standard as our coach built vehicles.
