Door System

Doors

Brutus bodies and decks can be ordered with your choice of heavy-duty all welded steel
cabinets or lightweight aluminum cabinets. Our aluminum cabinets utilize a construction
method pioneered in the aircraft industry called huck-bolting which provides both a
lightweight and durable structure. Huck bolting allows for body flex and movement
without cracking unlike welded aluminum cabinets which are prone to metal
crystallization and breakage. All of our aluminum bodies come with the same standard
structural warranties as steel bodies.

Seals

Brutus door panels compress into an automotive style rubber “bulb seal” fitted into our
unique u-shaped moulding. This design provides superior weather protection and a
watertight fit.

Drip Moldings

Brutus uses aluminum drip moldings that channel water to each end of the body and
away from the door openings. These moldings are bonded with glues above each door
opening versus riveting which can cause leaks.

Door Hardware

Brutus only uses high quality stainless steel products for our doors. This includes
stainless steel handles with three point latching and stainless wear plates, stainless steel
hinges with rubber mounts, and stainless steel door retainer springs with over extension
cables. Handles and hinges mount on rubber seals to keep out moisture and are mounted
with stainless fasteners.

Cabinet Moisture

To reduce the buildup of cabinet moisture each Brutus cabinet comes standard with a ½"
drain hole with venturi. The venturi draws moisture from the cabinet through negative
pressure as you drive down the road. Brutus also offers an optional cabinet pressurization
system which over pressurizes the interior with filtered air to keep out dust and moisture.
