Description
Overview:
The tailboard forket (MPN 800 1241) is a forged mild steel, weld-on extended fitting designed to engage with a Ø20 mm (0.79 in) shaft or pin on commercial vehicle and trailer bodies. With an overall length of 107.5 mm (4.23 in), a width of 35 mm (1.38 in) and a height of 49 mm (1.93 in), it offers a compact but durable interface for securing or hinging tailboards and drop doors.
