An invisible partition was the clear winner of the Product Innovation Award competition at the annual Work Truck Show in Indianapolis this March.
Ranger Design Inc.’s Max View safety partition won the honor from a field of 113 innovative products displayed at the show.
The top of the partition is “molded out of clear thermoformed ABS and polycarbonate” and fits snugly on Ford Transit Connect, Ram ProMaster City, and Mercedes-Benz Metris cargo vans, said a news release from show organizers the National Truck Equipment Association in announcing the award.
“Innovation is a part of our business strategy, and continuous feedback from our distributor network helped guide us in our design of the Max View partition,” the release quoted Steve Milizia, regional sales manager for Ranger Design, which has factories in Rochester, N.Y., and Montreal, Que. “We are extremely proud to be recognized for developing a product that helps satisfy what the industry is seeking — more efficiency and comfort in the performance of their everyday tasks.”
According to Ranger, the partition’s clear top makes a small van’s cab “feel more spacious” the partition’s 180-degree rear visibility reduces blinds spots. The contours of the partition, meanwhile, allow full seat travel and maximize cargo space. And its rattle-free design “reduces noise and fatigue.”
