COMMITMENT TO
CORROSION RESISTANCE
Corrosion won’t be a concern when you buy
quality Knapheide products. To give you the
best corrosion protection, we utilize a stateof-the-art, custom-designed, 12-step, SST
cathodic electrodeposition finishing system,
called “E-Coat.”
It bonds prime paint to steel by an
electroplating process to give you a superior
coat of primer, resulting in better corrosion
protection compared to spraying methods.
This system allows us to create products with the
highest level of corrosion resistance available.

NEVER SETTLE
If you are going to be a leader, it takes more than building a high-quality product.
It means never being totally satisfied with that product, no matter how high
quality it may be. It requires constant vigilance and a willingness to take a chance
on something new. And it means exceeding expectations every time. As the
industry changes, one thing never will­—our commitment to making customers
like you as productive and efficient as possible. We know you don’t settle, and
we don’t either. That’s why we want you never to settle for anything less than
Knapheide on the back of your truck.
Knapheide. Never settle.
