3.0 Body Construction: Methods and Materials
General Statements and Descriptions
The mechanical design and construction of the unit shall be such that the
Client, with proper maintenance, can expect at least 15 years of use.
All aluminum-to-steel joints are insulated with High Molecular Density
Polymer to prevent corrosion due to galvanic electrolysis.

physics due to the Sure Glide side shall compromise the structural integrity.
- Framed structures will not concentrate the stress at one singular point
- No distortion or twisting will take place; especially regarding the Upper
Coupler Plate where the kingpin is located
This structure was developed for the US Military through computer stress analysis
model design by SDRC, San Diego, CA.
