Johnson Refrigerated Truck Bodies is providing stainless steel cam lock hardware, which offers superior strength and a longer usable life than chrome or powdercoated hardware. Stainless hardware is an option for new truck bodies, or it can be used to replace rusted hardware on older truck bodies.
Chrome-plated zinc diecast, the old standard hardware for refrigerated truck bodies, has been a constant source of corrosion, pitting, and rust. With refrigerated truck bodies lasting longer than ever before, corroded hinges are no longer acceptable. Long-lasting stainless hardware is rust-free, and its polished satin finish remains attractive and dependable in constant use.
This hardware has a lower silhouette since it does not protrude beyond the walls as far as other hardware. In addition, the cam lock hardware has stainless steel set screws and take-up adjustment, which increase or decrease the door gasket pressure. The use of nylon bushings at wear points increases hardware longevity.
The new hardware is available in two-, three-, and four-point cam locks with or without internal release. They are designed for coolers and freezers, industrial utility buildings, environmental enclosures, truck bodies and trailers, and the commercial fishing industry. Stainless steel cam lock hardware can be ordered from Johnson Truck Bodies at 800-922-8360.
