Wooden or plastic floorboards are joined to a metal substructure in all areas of commercial vehicle production, from trailer building through to the production of omnibuses. In addition to the high strength of the join is also the absolutely flush surface.
A special head shape ensures that the rivet pulls itself into the part during setting, thus significantly simplifying and speeding up the production process.
High shear and tensile strengths and the breakstem that remains in the joint guarantee a permanently strong joint that, depending on the form, is splash water-tight and thus prevents corrosion.
