PROFILE (RAIN DEFLECTOR) 2675 MM SCHMITZ 751740

Original Schmitz Cargobull rain gutter profile for rear frame protection, length 2675 mm – Original OE code: 751740

The SCHMITZ rain deflector profile (Code: 751740), also known in technical circles as a rain gutter, is an original body part specifically designed for the passive protection of semi-trailers against water, snow, or condensation infiltration. This profile is mounted on the upper width of the rear frame (above the rear doors), creating a highly efficient drainage barrier that prevents water from flowing directly off the roof into the cargo space when the doors are opened.

With an exact nominal length of 2675 mm, this deflector is perfectly calibrated to the width standards of Schmitz Cargobull superstructures. Its intelligent geometry diverts the water flow towards the side extremities of the body, ensuring a dry and safe unloading zone at the ramp, even in heavy precipitation conditions.

Technical specifications:

Main purpose and functionality:

• Cargo protection during handling: The SCHMITZ 751740 deflector eliminates the risk of large volumes of water accumulated on the roof falling directly onto pallets or boxes when opening the rear doors at the ramp.

• Preservation of sensitive loads: It is a critical component for transports with strict dry-environment requirements (paper/cardboard products, electronic equipment, textiles, plastics, or packaged food products).

• Structural body protection: By controlled water diversion, the profile reduces direct moisture exposure of door rubber seals and metal locking systems, lowering the risk of premature corrosion and extending the life of the seals.

Advantages of the original SCHMITZ 751740 model:

• Original factory part (OE): Guarantees a 100% geometric fit with the semi-trailer's metal profile, avoiding gaps and deformations common to universal profiles or low-quality replicas.

• Advanced climate resistance: The material is UV-treated (preventing premature aging and plastic crystallization) and retains its elasticity at extreme freezing temperatures, avoiding cracking under mechanical shock.

• Fluid and fast installation: The component's configuration allows for rapid installation using standard fasteners (rivets or screws), without requiring structural modifications to the steel/aluminum semi-trailer frame.

Areas of use and applications:

• Equipping and maintaining modern Schmitz Cargobull semi-trailer fleets (S.KO, S.CS, S.PR ranges, etc.);

• International logistics transports, where sudden temperature variations and weather conditions can affect the quality of unloaded cargo;

• Authorized truck service units and workshops specializing in industrial body structural repairs.

Target audience (Who is this product for):

• Fleet managers and transport company administrators with high cargo safety requirements;

• Body repair workshops, truck mechanics, and service technicians who only use OE parts;

• Distributors of spare parts for heavy commercial vehicles and original Schmitz Cargobull components.

Practical installation tips:

1. Area preparation: Park the semi-trailer on a flat surface. Thoroughly clean and degrease the upper area of the rear frame, removing dust, rust traces, or old mastic/silicone residues.

2. Alignment: Position the deflector on the center of the upper frame and precisely mark the fixing points according to the structural configuration.

3. Mechanical fixation: Use solid rivets or body screws for firm and rigid anchoring.

4. Additional sealing: For maximum protection against infiltration, apply a continuous bead of industrial polyurethane mastic along the upper edge of the profile, perfectly sealing the contact with the body.

Conclusion

The SCHMITZ 751740 (2675 mm) rain deflector profile is an essential element for the passive protection of the semi-trailer and the cargo transported. Timely installation or replacement of a worn or missing profile reduces the risk of customer complaints due to damaged goods, protects the steel structure of the rear portal, and maintains the high professional standard of your fleet on any route.
