Sideboard
Sideboards are components used in the outfitting of industrial vehicles, flatbed trucks, vans, and trailers. Installed along the sides of the platform, they define the loading area and help secure goods during transport.
They contribute to load security, facilitate transport operations, and adapt the vehicle to the specific needs of professionals. A well-designed sideboard improves platform organization while minimizing the risk of goods shifting.
