Frequently Asked Questions

There is usually a plate located on the front road-side of the trailer or truck body, just behind the driver's side of the cab. This plate will identify the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the year the trailer or truck body was made. TODCO maintains extensive records of OEM bodies and trailers, so providing us with the make and year of manufacture can sometimes help us determine which roll up door replacement part(s) or panel(s) will fit your needs. Your best guarantee of a good fit is to provide us with your TODCO door serial number.

Because roll up doors lift up and out of the way, there's no worry about clearance for swinging doors to open. Your driver can back right up to a dock or squeeze down a tight alley and then open the door. And drivers can get to their loads fast, so the time saved on each delivery can really add up. Roll-up doors can be used for the side and rear loading of vans and trailers, the easy loading of containers and twins, and even for piggy-back operations.

The prime coat (or a "primed" door) is the first coat of ToughShell® UV coating applied to a plywood dryfreight roll up door. The panels are then ready to accept a second coat, or top coat, in the color of your choice.

This is the width of the space that a roll up door will need to cover. If you provide us with the TODCO serial number, we have the opening width of your door on file.

This is the height of the space that a roll up door will need to cover. If you provide us with the TODCO serial number, we have the opening height of your door on file.

This is another way to provide TODCO the information needed to order a replacement roll up door. You must measure the actual width and height of the 1) bottom panel, 2) top panel, and 3) intermediate panels. Do not measure the tongue of the panels. Be sure to include the number of intermediate panels you need. This complete information is called a panel stack up.
