A smart support bolster in two versions - ANGLED or STRAIGHT with wear steel on top.
Support bolsters are designed to provide a durable sliding surface during loading and unloading. By allowing the grapple to glide against the bolster, the risk of accidental impact on the frame, tanks, and other vehicle components is reduced.
As standard, the support bolsters are delivered in ExTe silver or ExTe blue, but can be supplied in any RAL colour, allowing the design to be matched to the vehicle’s colour scheme or the customer’s visual identity.
Mounted to the frame using clamp, friction, or cam attachments.
The support bolsters are designed for quick and easy installation without any modification to the vehicle frame. Cut-out slots and serrations allow the mounting to be adapted to different frame widths, creating a flexible solution suitable for multiple applications.
No welding or drilling required
Adjustable mounting for different frame widths
Easy to remove, reposition, or adjust as needed
A range of mounting options is available for the support bolsters, depending on how the bolster is to be used and how the vehicle is equipped:
Clamp attachment
The clamp attachment secures the support bolster to the frame through mechanical clamping. It provides a stable and secure mounting without affecting the frame and is ideal when the bolster is to remain in a fixed position.
Sliding attachment
The sliding attachment allows longitudinal movement along the frame, which is essential in applications where the support bolster or timber bunk needs to be repositioned. This is particularly important when using a sliding bunk system, where the position must be adjusted depending on the load and handling requirements.
Cam attachment
The cam attachment is designed to match frame profiles with a cam-like shape. The design is based on a sliding principle and includes, among other components, a sliding plate, meaning that in practice it functions as a sliding attachment. It provides both secure mounting and the possibility of longitudinal movement along the frame.
As standard, the support bolsters are supplied pre-painted in ExTe Silver or ExTe Blue, but they can also be powder-coated in any RAL colour if desired. The finished coating provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface, reducing maintenance requirements and extending the product’s service life.
The option to choose any colour makes it easy to match the bolsters to the company’s branding or vehicle fleet.
