Ram Box Assembly with Lid

Twin-sheet thermoforming replaces blow molding to create the structure and ribbing of this tough storage box with lid. The result is a more uniform, more dimensionally accurate part whose length was increased from  5 ft 7 in. to 6 ft 4 in., requiring greater emphasis  on the "heavy-duty" nature of the structure’s design and materials of construction. A special new grade of GR-PP eliminated the need to upgrade to heavier and more costly PA 6/6, avoiding a 9% weight and 20% cost increase.
