Trike 35 Sliding Roof System
Trike 35 is a three-sided sliding roof system with a reduced installation height of just 35 mm, designed for platform and curtain-sided truck bodies. Compared to standard designs, it increases the internal loading height by 15 mm, enabling more efficient use of the loading area. The system is suitable for both custom and serial body production up to a length of 13,600 mm and a width of 2,550 mm.
- Reduced construction height of 35 mm – more cargo space without affecting the overall vehicle height.
- New generation of ALTO Trike 35 and DUO Trike 35 profiles for three-sided sliding systems.
- Option to integrate recessed LED strips into the guide profiles for improved cargo area lighting.
- Modular component system – fixed and sliding cross members, tipping end elements, slats, and accessories.
- Durable materials (aluminium, surface-treated steel, PVC) for long service life in demanding operations.
- Compatibility with bodies up to 13,600 mm in length and 2,550 mm in width without limiting structural flexibility.

Trike 35 is a modern three-sided sliding roof system with a reduced installation height of just 35 mm, designed for curtain-sided and platform truck bodies. Compared to standard systems, it increases the internal loading height by 15 mm without affecting the overall vehicle height. The solution is developed for body manufacturers and converters who require maximum loading space utilization, structural flexibility, and long-term operational reliability.
Maximum Use of Loading Height Without Compromise
The key advantage of the system is its total sliding roof construction height of 35 mm. Compared to conventional sliding roof designs, this results in a 15 mm increase in internal loading space. In practice, this difference is critical for height-limited cargo, high-volume freight, and applications where optimizing internal clearance is essential.
The system is suitable for bodies up to a maximum length of 13,600 mm and a maximum width of 2,550 mm, covering standard and extended truck and trailer configurations.
Structural Design: ALTO Trike 35 and DUO Trike 35
Trike 35 uses a new generation of ALTO Trike 35 and DUO Trike 35 profiles developed for three-sided sliding roof systems. The guide rails are manufactured from aluminium (natural finish), combining low weight with sufficient rigidity for daily heavy-duty operation.
- ALTO Trike 35 guide profile – weight 6.04 kg/m
- DUO Trike 35 guide profile – weight 5.36 kg/m
The design enables straightforward integration into various sidewall and frame configurations without requiring major structural modifications to the body.
Modular Component System for Flexible Configuration
Trike 35 is engineered as a modular system, allowing adaptation to specific requirements of body manufacturers or end users. The system includes:
- Fixed roof cross members (galvanized steel, 4.50 kg/pc)
- Sliding roof cross members (galvanized steel, 4.25 kg/pc)
- Sliding end tipping elements (galvanized steel, 17.4 kg/pc)
- Tipping beams with aluminium drip edge (H = 145 mm / 208 mm)
- Connecting slats for sliding cross members (PVC)
- Side curtain sealing (black rubber)
This configuration allows optimization of weight, structural rigidity, and handling characteristics according to the specific application.
Integrated LED Lighting in the Guide Profile
The Trike 35 guide profiles allow installation of recessed LED strips directly into the structure. Available in 8 m and 13 m versions with white light, this solution enhances safety and visibility during loading and unloading, especially in low-light or night operations.
Operational Reliability and Durability in Daily Use
The combination of aluminium guide profiles and galvanized steel structural components ensures high resistance to mechanical stress and common environmental exposure. PVC slats and rubber seals support long-term functionality and contribute to cargo protection.
All components are designed for efficient installation, service accessibility, and full compatibility within the Trike 35 system.
Applications of the Trike 35 System
The system is suitable for:
- Curtain-sided and platform truck bodies
- Trailers and semi-trailers with three-sided access
- Applications requiring maximum loading height utilization
- Body manufacturers seeking a low-profile sliding roof solution
Why Choose Trike 35 for New or Upgraded Bodies
Trike 35 represents a technically optimized solution for manufacturers aiming to increase body utility value without affecting homologated vehicle dimensions. The reduced construction height, modular component architecture, and integrated LED lighting capability provide a clear competitive advantage in the segment of three-sided sliding roof systems.
If you are looking for a low-profile sliding roof system with high structural flexibility, Trike 35 delivers an efficient and long-term solution for professional applications.
