Mounting plates for elevating platforms, including a mounting apparatus with interior and exterior reinforcement components elongated vertically. The interior reinforcement piece includes an embedded bolt that extends from the interior reinforcement piece, through a wall of the platform, and through the exterior reinforcement component. The interior and exterior reinforcement components have a stepped construction to convert peel stress to shear stress.

Mounting system for elevating platform

A multi-sheet component for a utility vehicle that includes at least one gap between at least two of the sheets, thereby providing a component that enhances worker safety by increasing component stiffness and reducing component thickness. The component is manufactured through multi-sheet thermoforming and uses a conical frustum corrugation to increase stiffness.

Door assembly for use on utility truck

An assembly for utility truck bodies having metal and/or composite reinforcement(s) and/or foam reinforcements and/or honeycomb reinforcements and/or wood reinforcements encapsulated within a thermoformed thermoplastic, or thermoset or fiber-reinforced thermoset walking surface floor structure of the truck bed assembly or other composite floor structure with attachable components and junctions, e.g., sidepack(s), and methods of making the same are provided.

Sidepack storage compartment and methods of making and using same

A step for an elevating platform, the step including a top flange, a bottom flange, and a transition; the step configured to insert into a cutout in the platform sidewall. The bottom flange is configured to contact an outer surface of the platform sidewall when the top flange contacts an inner surface of the sidewall, thereby placing all of the contact areas between the step and the platform under compression when force is applied to the step.

A spacer-locator with integrated locator pins and spacer tabs for use in joining applications. The spacer-locator provides consistent and accurate spacing between mating surfaces and the locator pins provide enhanced location control of the joining components while providing a mechanical advantage to the shear strength at the joint. Also, a spacer-locator for joining at least two objects along mating surfaces, the spacer-locator constraining at least two degrees of freedom for the objects to be joined.

Spacer for use in precision bonding applications that provides enhanced shear strength

A rib for an elevating platform, the rib designed and configured to insert through a slot in the sidewall of the elevating platform. The rib includes an internal rib component and an external rib component, wherein each of the components include at least an arm and a stem. The rib is operable to support an external load, such as an attached apparatus.

Modular rib

A mounting rib for an elevating platform, the rib designed and configured to insert through a slot in the sidewall of the elevating platform. The rib is composed of a T-shaped and two L-shaped components, wherein the T-shaped component inserts through the slot and the L-shaped components are attached on the exterior of the platform. Also, a corner-mounted rib for an elevating platform.
