Once the supporting frame is in position the tray is cut to create the hole required to allow the mounting of the the MiniMax to the bracket.
While the engineers are modifying the pick-up, the MiniMax and it’s assembly are in the paint shop – being painted in a suitable quality finish to match the vehicle, or the owners tastes.
The MiniMax can be mounted on raised pedestals to help with clearance or, such as many of the latest installations have enjoyed, the Double Oscillator.
The combination of having a professional engineer assess the installation and calculate the best mounting position, having a VASS registered installer (who can susequently issue a mod plate for the installation) and the certified MiniMax fifth wheel (e.g. one with a CRN number issued) means that a MiniMax conversion is one of the safest available. And, of course, at 30,000kg pulling capacity it is by far the toughest!
