ORIGINAL SCHMITZ SEALING STRIP 1278727 (STANDARD)

Side curtain sealing gasket

The original Schmitz Cargobull sealing strip with part number 1278727 is the reference part for maintaining the seal of curtain-sided trailers. Designed to work in tandem with the aluminum structure of Schmitz bodywork, this sealing strip provides an impeccable barrier against the elements, serving as a vital element in preventing the degradation of transported goods.

Using an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) gasket guarantees not only a perfect geometric fit in the guide rails but also extended durability of the elastomer material, which is capable of withstanding extreme mechanical and thermal stress.

Technical specifications:

Key advantages:

• OEM Quality: The part meets strict Schmitz Cargobull original equipment standards, ensuring a longer lifespan compared to aftermarket alternatives.

• High-Performance Sealing: The standardized profile stops capillary infiltration, protecting moisture- and dust-sensitive cargo.

• Durable Elasticity: Premium EPDM rubber does not become brittle under UV exposure and retains its flexibility even in severe winter conditions.

• Quick Installation: The design is optimized for rapid insertion into aluminum profiles, allowing your maintenance team to reduce workshop downtime.

• Aerodynamic Optimization: A proper seal eliminates vibrations and unpleasant noises caused by the flapping of the curtain while driving on the highway.

Signs that replacement is necessary:

• Physical wear: Visible cracks, tears in the profile, or hardening of the rubber.

• Infiltration: Traces of moisture on pallets or cargo at the top/side.

• Sealing defects: Gaps visible between the side curtain and the body profile.

• Noise: Metallic hissing or repetitive flapping of the curtain against the frame at high speeds.

Installation guide:

1. Removal: Extract the old sealing strip from the guide channel.

2. Cleaning: Clean and degrease the aluminum rail of any dirt, rust, or old rubber residue.

3. Assembly: Insert the new 1278727 sealing strip into the profile, ensuring the part slides in evenly.

4. Securing: Check that the gasket is seated straight, without twists. For even pressure, use a rubber mallet or a special assembly roller.
