ABSTRACT:
An end unit for use on vehicles having modular floors, such as truck beds, trailers, and the like. The end unit according to the present invention includes a load bearing portion having an integrated reinforcing rib that extends along the edge of the load bearing portion that stiffens the load bearing portion against point loads and impact loads. The end unit also includes a resilient bumper attached to the edge of the load bearing portion in engagement with the reinforcing rib, and a sealing member that seals the interface between the bumper and the end unit that seals the interface against the entry of moisture and contaminants. The reinforcing rib includes an elongated cavity which protects the bumper attachment hardware from rust, dirt and corrosion.
