We've run these sideboards on 14 brick trucks for the past 6 years. Steel racks used to crack at the welds every season. These aluminum Uni-Mesh gates still look and act like the day we bought them.

The forklift operator fork-deflection corners have saved us thousands in side-gate repairs. Forklift drivers hit them hard, and the forks just glide right off. Best fleet upgrade we made in a decade.

Incredible fuel savings since we shed almost 600 lbs per truck switching from heavy solid steel racks to Unique's lightweight Unimesh sideboards. Instant payback on our fleet investment.
