The cargo body is one-piece welded construction that can carry a maximum payload of 3000 lb (1361
kg). The stake racks vertically extend the cargo body to provide a larger cargo area. The tailgate
provides access to the trailer’s cargo. The six cargo tiedowns are used to secure cargo in the cargo
body. The ladder is mounted on the inside of the tailgate and swings down when the tailgate is
open. The stabilizer is used to lift one side of the trailer when changing a wheel. The two stabilizer
mounts hold the stabilizer in place.
The tarpaulin is used to protect the cargo from inclement weather. The tarpaulin is reversible. The
roof bows provide support for the tarpaulin. The lashing hooks attach the tarpaulin to the cargo
body.
The two composite lights are used as the taillights, stoplights, and turning signals to indicate the
presence and movement of the trailer to other vehicles traveling behind; the composite lights also
have blackout capability. The two rear reflectors and three rear running lights indicate the trailer’s
presence to vehicles traveling behind the trailer. The four side reflectors and two side running
lights indicate the trailer’s presence to other vehicles traveling next to the trailer.
