DALLAS, TX – August 21, 2008 - GREAT AMERICAN TRUCKING SHOW Booth # 17057 - Hyundai Translead, a leading manufacturer of dry and refrigerated van trailers, domestic containers, container chassis, and converter dollies, today announced the launch of the company’s newest product, the HT Composite XT.
The HT Composite XT® Dry Freight Van Trailer is the standard HT Composite dry van trailer with an extended scuff rail to prevent forklift damage. For this reason, “XT” stands for “extra tough protection” and “excellent technology”. If a forklift happens to hit the lower inside wall of the trailer known as the “damage zone”, the forklift will hit the extended extra tough aluminum bottom rail, not the composite sidewall panels. This results in less downtime, increased utilization, and greater profits.
The trailer is designed with an extruded aluminum bottom rail with interior scuff height of 16”. The rail also includes a centrally located external rib for increased stiffness and scrape resistance. Additionally, the bottom rail and extended scuff both have interior and exterior ribs providing protection to the fasteners while adding strength and rigidity. The HT Composite XT® Trailer also comes standard with the HT Corrosion Resistance Package for optimal corrosion protection, a premium standard feature seen on all Hyundai Translead dry freight trailers.
“We anticipate great success with the HT Composite XT Trailer,” said Stuart James, VP of Sales at Hyundai Translead. “Forklift damage is overcome with this product, giving peace of mind to purchasers that their trailers can be used to maximum efficiency.”
The Hyundai Translead HT Composite XT® Dry Freight Van Trailer offers outstanding strength and durability to withstand the rigors of today’s dynamic loading and unloading operations and comes with the standard Hyundai Translead 5 year warranty and 10 year limited warranty on the composite sidewall panels. With a full 101-1/2” panel to panel interior width, the composite design provides a larger cubic capacity resulting in increased productivity, revenue and ensuring a faster return on investment.
The HT Composite XT will be shown to the public at the Great American Trucking Show “GATS” at booth #17057 August 21-23, 2008.
