These components have to cope with frequent use, exposure to the elements, and potential tampering, so they need to be robust, practical and hard-wearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working to the client\u2019s exact specifications, Cookes developed a series of stainless steel lift-off hinges with a radiused, cranked profile and sloped geometry to match the contours of the body of the vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hinges that Cooke Brothers designed and manufactured are made from heavy-duty 304-grade stainless steel to provide long-term finish and performance in high-vibration, high-traffic environments &#8211; a key requirement for commercial vehicles.
