New flat top sizes to complete their wide range of mudguards, a new easy-to-fit design of plastic mudguard bracket, and a new family of extra strong toolboxes with T-handles will be the main features on the stand of Oy Parlok Ab of Parainen, Finland (Hall No 26, Stand No.D34) at the forthcoming IAA Commercial Vehicle Fair in Hanover, Germany, 23-30 September 2004.

New easy-to-fit mudguard brackets

The highlight of the Parlok stand will be the new Parlok-Unifix™ easy-to-fit plastic mudguard brackets designed for use with Parlok HDPE mudguards. They are manufactured from strong polyamide plastic and are fitted to the mudguard by means of a single bolt. Parlok-Unifix™ brackets, which are supplied, pre-assembled, are adjustable to fit mudguard stay tube diameters from 32 mm to 50 mm. See Figs. 1 and 2. The company's adjustable P42 integrated bracket, made of zinc-coated powder-painted steel plate and designed for use with Parlok White Line and Parlok Supra mudguards, will also be on show.

New flat-top HDPE mudguards

HDPE has high impact resistance, is lightweight and withstands extremes of temperature, all of which properties recommend it as an excellent material for the manufacture of mudguards.
To produce HDPE components which meet EC directives for the design of mudguards and spray-suppression systems for commercial vehicles, trucks and trailers, Parlok employ the latest sheet extrusion technology and state-of-the-art thermoforming techniques. Parlok's Quality Management System has been assessed by BVQI and found to be in accordance with ISO 9001.2000.

The new 650FT and 260FT flat-top mudguards (see Fig. 3) are the latest additions to Parlok's range of spray suppression devices made of HDPE. Measuring 650 mm wide x 2310 mm long x 1290 mm span and 260 mm wide x 1300 mm long x 840 mm span respectively, they come at the top and bottom of the company's FT range. A new size of White Line mudguard measuring 450 mm wide x 1900 mm long x 650 mm radius will also be on show .

Parlok's White Line, Supra integrated spray suppression, and FT mudguards are believed to constitute the widest range of mudguards available from a single manufacturer. Parlok's ProSider hinged, side-valance system, which conforms to EC directive 89/297/EC and is the only plastic side-guard system on the market, will also be on show.

New high-strength, safety-locking toolboxes

Parlok is also launching a completely new range of toolboxes (see Fig. 3), manufactured in impact resistant HDPE, at the IAA Exhibition in Hanover. To be produced in a range of widths - 550mm, 700 mm, 800 mm and 1000 mm - and offering maximum capacities with original Parlok supports from 30 kg to 100kg, the new toolboxes have a T-shaped handle with a cylinder lock for increased security. All locking parts are made of steel. The new design features reinforcing ribs which give greater strength and rigidity.

Note to Editors: Oy Parlok Ab was founded in 1959 and is a leading manufacturer of spray-suppression devices, including mudguards, sideguards, brackets, and toolboxes for the commercial vehicle industry. Parlok products are sold world-wide through national distributors. Parlok, a member of the Group AUSTA Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, has manufacturing facilities in Parainen, Finland.
