According to Scott Blackford, TODCO vice president of sales and marketing, the panels of TODCO's ArmorPlate™
overhead truck doors incorporate the proven technology of high-strength steel skins bonded to a solid high-density
polyethylene composite core.
"The steel skins have the durability to stand up to heavy freight, frequent stops and grueling over-the-road
weather conditions," Blackford said.
In addition, the polycomposite core is impervious to moisture, adding protection for cargo, while providing
extra structural strength.
"This extra-strength door has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio," Blackford adds. "In fact, our ArmorPlate
door weighs in at about the same as a one-inch plywood door. But it's thinner (13mm) and more weather resistant."
In addition, ArmorPlate can be painted or can incorporate pre-painted coil to match fleet color specifications.
Its standard MagniCoat™ rivets protect against rust, without the extra cost of stainless steel.
