Description
Overview:
This flat tailboard lug (MPN 800 1237) is a forged steel weld-on fitting used to hinge tailboards and dropside panels on commercial vehicle and trailer bodies. Supplied in self colour for fabrication, it provides a robust mounting point for a matching tailboard forket on tippers, trucks and agricultural or plant trailers. The lug features a Ø20 mm (0.79 in) shaft length of 38 mm (1.50 in) to interface with the mating fork, supported by a flat base for welding to the body or tailboard edge. Overall length is 140 mm (5.51 in), with a base footprint of 93 mm x 31.5 mm (3.66 in x 1.24 in) to spread loads into the parent structure.
