Dropside Hinge Eye (Z022)

Provide durable, heavy-duty pivoting support for fold-down vehicle sideboards and tailgates with the Burquip Dropside Hinge Eye. Specifically engineered for commercial flatbed trailers, bakkie dropside bodies, agricultural tippers, and utility transporters, this robust eye-leaf hinge is built to handle downward folding stress, heavy side-loading, and continuous cyclic movement without binding or structural distortion.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Reinforced Eye-Leaf Design: Engineered with a heavy-duty cylindrical pivot eye that seats securely over mating gudgeon pins or hinge bolts, ensuring smooth downward swinging for dropside panels and tailgates.

• Heavy Commercial Load Capacity: Manufactured from solid, high-tensile steel designed to absorb dynamic shock loads and withstand lateral force from heavy shifting cargo during transit.

• Smooth Drop-Down Action: Delivers fluid, non-binding rotational clearance so sideboards can drop completely flush against the chassis for unobstructed forklift access and flat loading.

• Vibration & Wear Resistance: Thick-walled steel construction resists premature bore ovaling, galling, and rattle caused by rough gravel roads and high-frequency vehicle vibrations.

• Direct Weld-On Attachment: Uncoated bare steel composition allows for deep, high-penetration structural welding directly onto dropside panel frames, tubular rails, or trailer chassis channels.
