4 LINERS SUPERIOR LINER TECHNOLOGY Crane Composites has been lining transportation trailers and truck bodies since Crane Composites liners are lightweight, cleanable, highly stain and abrasion resistant. liner market innovators Crane Composites was the first to introduce a composite panel into the truck trailer market. Our panels were the first Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (frp) composite liners and full seamless lightweight liners in the market. liner benefits Resists Damage: Engineered matrix of glass reinforcement with multiple reinforcement options along with long strand chopped glass and polyester resin Robust resin system engineered for surface hardness and durability Looks better Longer: Consistent white appearance that is easy to clean and maintain Very low vapor transmission rate; superior to similar materials, which minimizes weight gain in your vehicle Abrasion resistant surface that keeps your vehicle looking better longer liner features The points below showcase why Crane Composites thermoset liners are the superior solution when compared to thermoplastic liners: thermoset liners Hard, dense, resin rich surface that is easily cleaned Stains are easily removed and do not stay embedded on surface Abrasion resistant No voids in surface liner product line ArmorTuf thermoplastic liners Porous surface that can easily trap dirt and moisture Stains are difficult to remove and are embedded on glass fibers on surface Scratches easily Voids in surface ArmorTuf is our premier line of high-impact, heavy-duty sidewall liners. ArmorTuf liners are comprised of continuous woven roving fiberglass along with long strand chopped glass and durable polyester resin. ArmorTuf -NXT ArmorTuf -NXT features liners that are value engineered for maximum strength by utilizing Crane Composites NexForce Technology, a unique composition of continuous uni-strand fiberglass roving along with long strand chopped glass and durable polyester resin. Kemlite Kemlite is our legacy line of lightweight liners. Kemlite products include long strand chopped glass and durable polyester resin. durable, lightweight, stai

5 liner compliance with regulations Crane liners have been designed to allow for full compliance with USDA/FDA requirements for non-food contacting applications for years and support the new Food Safety and Modernization Act. Unlike other liner products in the market, Crane liners do not require an anti-microbial additive because our product does not support the growth of microbes. Additionally, the Crane product has a hard, non-porous surface that is very durable and easy to clean and to keep sanitary. Our products have been used for over 60 years and are used today in food processing plants, restaurants, and in transportation truck bodies and trailers, because they are a cost effective way to create a clean, durable, and sanitary surface.

8 aerodynamic SIDE SKIRTS NOT YOUR AVERAGE SIDE SKIRT When comparing aerodynamic side skirt material, weight, flexibility, and panel composition are three key attributes that determine the performance over time of side skirts. Made with a woven fiberglass and polyester resin matrix, the Crane Aerodynamic Side Skirt raises the bar and provides fleets with a skirt that has a high strength-to-weight ratio with enhanced weatherability and flexibility. side skirt features Crane Aerodynamic Side Skirts utilize both a fully woven high strength glass reinforcement, along with a long strand chopped glass reinforcement, to achieve a flexible and durable panel that is designed to take abuse. The thickness of our skirt, 0.135", was derived to reduce fluttering of the panel, which can create drag. The skirts are enhanced with a unique resin system and UV inhibitors, which resist scratching and create a barrier between the environment and the glass reinforcement, providing longer life in high-abuse applications. side skirt benefits Rugged Design: Bending up to 90º both ways Higher flexural strength when compared to thermoplastics Crane s thermoset plastic allows for better fastener retention than thermoplastics Lightweight: Under 1lb per square foot Weight Savings of up to 9% when compared to thermoplastics on a 53' trailer Improved Fuel Efficiency: Lightweight, robust design Panels designed to be flexible, yet stiff enough to resist fluttering helping to maximize fuel efficiency Customizable: Resin system is decal/logo friendly and ready to help build your brand side skirt product options dry/ refrigerated trailers STRENGTH CODE THICKNESS Aerodynamic Side Skirt ARMR 0.135" 3.4 mm Heavy-Duty High-Strength
