- Top flange reinforcement
- Inner reinforcement beam channel
II. MATERIAL REQUIRED
| PART DESCRIPTION | PART NUMBER | DRAWING | QTY |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Top Flange Reinforcement Plate | 20137095N | 101-151016 | 2 |
| 2. Front Reinforcement Plate | 20136706N | 101-151009 | 2 |
| 3. Joint Plate | 20076219 | 115-15577 | 2 |
| 4. H H Bolt 3/8-16 | 10063020 | — | 8 |
| 5. H Lock Nut 3/8 | 10063076 | — | 8 |
| 6. Nylon Washer | 10034471 | — | 8 |
| 7. Zinc rich primer (80% zinc content) | 10038951 | — | 0.25 Gal |
| 8. Cold galvanizing paint | 10028798 | — | 75 OZ |
III. TOOLS REQUIRED
- Hammer
- Arc Welding M/C
- Paint applicator
- Wire Brush
- Angle Grinder
- Power Tools (Huck Rivets Gun)
- Safety Equipment (gloves, safety glasses, etc.)
IV. Preparation
- Place flatbed in a safe location in order to work on the repairs in accordance with safety standards. Crank up the landing gear so to keep the flatbed level and parallel with the ground.
V. Repair Procedure
- Unload and remove all forms of cargo on the flatbed.
- Disconnect any sensors and electrical components that are associated with the front end of the trailer. (This includes the 7-Way, corner markers, gladhands, PSI marker, etc.) This is the most important step.
- Remove the four fasteners that connect the front sill to the bulkhead and remove the two fasteners in all four stake pockets (eight in total) in order to remove the bulkhead assembly from the front stake pockets.
- Clean the front area of any zinc material with an angle grinder, as shown below. This is so that the zinc does not volatize during the welding process. This is where the top flange reinforcement (20137095N) will be added.
- Weld the top flange reinforcement (20137095N) to the front area so that there is a brace between the top of the front sill and the top flange. This must be done to both top flanges.
- Clean the inside area of the front sill of any zinc material with an angle grinder, as shown below, on both sides of the unit. Remove zinc on the front sill on both sides of the web. This is where the front reinforcement plate (20136706N) will be added.
- Insert the front reinforcement plate (20136706N) such that the plate is parallel to the ground. Once the plate makes contact with the rear face of the front sill, flip the plate 90° towards the side rail.
- Measure 380 mm from the outside face of the main web to the inside face of the front reinforcement plate (20136706N).
- Weld the front reinforcement plate (20136706N) to the front sill.
- Slide the joint plate (20076219) behind the front reinforcement plate (20136706N). The joint plate must be centered with the doubler plate.
- Drill holes into the first crossmember using the joint plate (20076219) as a guide on both sides of the trailer. Make sure the joint plate is centered with the front reinforcement plate.
- Add four fasteners to the joint plate.
- Weld the joint plate (20076219) to the front reinforcement plate (20136706N).
- Repeat steps 6 – 12 for the opposite side of the trailer.
- Remove all welding splatters using a steel wire brush around the welded areas and clean the welded areas.
- Apply the zinc primer over the new front reinforcement plate, top flange reinforcement, and welding areas.
- Once the zinc primer is dry, apply cold galvanizing top paint on reinforcement materials so that the exterior surface would not corrode.
- Reconnect the bulkhead by fastening the stake pockets and then the front sill.
- Reconnect all electrical components and gladhand components.
