17. DESCRIPTION (Describe the Current Situation and your Suggestion for Change or improvement. Include where and how it can
be used, and identify estimated tangible/intangible benefits which would result from adoption.)
The present design of the cab protector has the surface plate designed with corrugation running across; i.e., horizontal to
the truck line. This condition traps water and causes rust. This unsatisfactory condition can be eliminated and still retain
cab protector strength by making the surface plate flat then provide 3 Each - 2-3/4 x 1" U channels running longitudinally.
Channels would be welded all around to the front lip then staggered welded to the surface plate. This configuration is
currently being used on numerous commercial dump trucks.
