VERSUS SLIDING ROOF SPACER 400MM 242-01004

Original VERSUS spacer for sliding roof guidance – Length: 400 mm – Product code: 242-01004/Koegel 6609972/Schwarzmueller SWM101524

The VERSUS (Product code: 242-01004) sliding roof spacer, with a length of 400 mm, is an innovative technical component, designed specifically for sliding roof systems. The main role of this spacer (positioning lever) is to maintain a constant, fixed, and correctly calibrated distance between the roof bows during sliding operations, ensuring smooth movement and uniform tensioning of the tarpaulin.

Manufactured from high-strength technical materials, this spacer offers an optimal ratio between weight and durability. Calibrated to the exact size of 400 mm, it prevents the jamming or overlapping of the roof's mobile elements, ensuring the geometric integrity of the superstructure and easy operation during loading/unloading processes.

Technical specifications:

Main advantages of the Versus 400mm spacer:

• Light weight: The use of high-performance technical plastics significantly reduces the total weight of the running system without compromising mechanical strength.

• Corrosion resistance: Unlike metal models, this spacer is completely immune to rust, making it ideal for use in harsh weather conditions or high humidity.

• Quiet and smooth operation: The composite material reduces friction and noise during sliding, facilitating easy operation for the driver.

• Easy installation: The design is optimized for direct mounting without requiring structural modifications, reducing vehicle downtime for maintenance.

• Dimensional stability: Resistant to temperature fluctuations, it retains its shape and mechanical properties long-term under constant load.

Applicability and functionality:

The VERSUS 242-01004 structural spacer is a key kinematic part in the sliding roof assembly. Its use is essential for:

• Parallel, smooth, and effortless sliding of the roof bows, preventing the carriages from jamming on the rail;

• Maintaining the geometric alignment of the bows, preventing tarpaulin sagging or uneven accumulation of water and ice on the roof;

• Correct and compact folding of the textile material, maximizing usable space during vertical loading.

Target audience (Who this product is for):

• Road transport companies and logistics firms using sliding roof semi-trailers;

• Truck service centers and workshops specializing in superstructure and TIR hardware repairs;

• Fleet managers who prioritize operational efficiency and preventive maintenance;

• Spare parts distributors and commercial vehicle specialty shops.

Conclusion

The 400mm VERSUS 242-01004 sliding roof spacer represents the modern and efficient solution for maintaining the performance of sliding roof systems. Its lightweight yet extremely durable design eliminates corrosion-related wear issues and ensures fast, safe, and fluid operation at the loading ramp, making it an indispensable part for professional superstructure maintenance.
