Associated Spring has developed a series of patented Raymond stainless steel mechanical struts specifically designed to provide a corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free alternative to the conventional gas struts currently used on refrigerated delivery vehicles. With these m-Struts, the company has responded to the requirements of the food distribution industry in general with specific solutions for Tesco and Chereau that overcome the on-going problem of gas strut degradation within the hostile environment of chilled and/or refrigerated wagons. Associated Spring's maintenance-free stainless steel Raymond m-Struts are proving an ideal solution for Chereau and the Tesco.com home-delivery fleet, facilitating maximum flexibility and effective use of space within the refrigerated vehicles.
