Ancra International has partnered with CellTech Metals to provide a new category of bonded truck and trailer wall systems.

Track from either of Ancra’s captive beam decking systems is now available preassembled into CellTech metal sandwich wall panels. Integrating the track from Ancra’s Lift-A-Deck II or Vers-A-Deck systems into the panel manufacturing process before vehicle assembly can reduce costs and installation time.

CellTech wall panels offer a high stiffness to weight ratio and a rivetless exterior for distortion-free placement of custom graphics. The smooth interior surface achieved by flush-mount bonding reduces the risk of track and cargo damage, according to Ancra.

This partnership between Ancra and CellTech is aimed at mutual customers that want to maximize load space and reduced damage claims by avoiding double stacking of freight.
