Yes.
Our patented
vinyl banner frame system is
legal in the U.S., Canada and
Mexico when placed on both
sides of a 102" wide truck to
display advertising space.
Make sure the banner frame system
you install on a truck does
not cause the vehicle to exceed
the Department of Transportation
(USDOT)
truck width regulations
for trucks operating in the
U.S. All commercial banner frame
systems for hire that we researched,
do not comply with the USDOT
CFR 23, 658.15 truck width limit.
Yes,
we recognize some banner sizes
must be an exact size. If necessary,
when you order a banner, our
easy order system lets you specify
the banner size to within 1/8
of an inch, with a tolerance
in overall size of + or - 1/4".
[NOTE: It is best if you
can size the height and width
of banners in "even whole numbers...2,
4, 6, etc". This allows you
to avoid the end of a frame
landing on a row of rivets which
is not safe. Rivets on the side
of trailers and trucks are usually
spaced on "even number inches".]
We
have a
lifetime frame warranty
and will replace any damaged
or defective frame not the result
of the purchasers fault for
free. When you buy banners from
us, there is a 2 year guarantee
on the inks.
No.
Unlike all banner stretching
metal frame systems where the
banner must be stretched tight
and often times re-stretched
to stop the banner from banging
the sides of the truck, the
TRUCKADS® INVISA-FRAME System
requires no stretching. In fact,
stretching only contributes
to early ink failure. During
installation, the flex banner
must be "pulled" straight and
square and this is done without
tools.
Metal
frames cost more.
When you
compare all factors including,
weight, shipment, installation,
repairs, removal and the most
important reason, "total
cost of ownership", metal
vinyl banner frame systems cost
much more than the TRUCK ADS®
Flex-Banner Frame System. TRUCKADS® INVISA-FRAME KIT
IS DESIGNED TO SAVE YOU GAS.
Also, see our "Best
Price Guarantee".
No.
The TRUCKADS® INVISA-FRAME System
remains clean and free of dirt
and grime because it is a closed
system and there are no pockets
or joints that can fill up with
water and dirt. Metal frames
have many groves and pockets
that are susceptible to collecting
dirt and grime. This can cause
metal frames to freeze up and
difficult to remove.
No.
Our truck side frame system
is a value added product for
any truck. It will likely be
useful to the next owner of
the truck who can use it to
advertise. You can't say that
about metal frames that look
like ugly picture frames without
a picture.
Yes.
There are many circumstances
where you may want to cut the
vinyl into an unusual shape
to fit on a wall. Also, there
are many times when the bull
nose corners at the front of
a box truck are curved and our
frame system will accommodate
these special situations. Metal
frames cannot do this.
No.
The frame projects less than
1/4" from the sides. Even when
the vinyl banner is not installed
there is no wind drag. You can't
say that about some metal frames
that have pockets and can actually
cause the metal frame to loosen
over time. Metal may create
a potential safety hazard and
higher fuel costs.
Just
3/16" - less than all other
systems available today.
There is no wind drag and less
chance the frame system will
be damaged by foreign objects
coming in contact with the truck.
The maximum width of a Commercial
Motor Vehicle (CMV) is restricted.
Be sure the
frame system you install
does not cause your truck to
exceed
USDOT regulations.
Never.
Unlike metal frames that occasionally
require re-stretching, our system
keeps on looking great for as
long as it is up. The vinyl
banner in a metal frame system
will actually start to bang
against the sides of the truck
from the wind after awhile and
will need to re-stretched to
prevent this.
The
TRUCKADS® INVISA-FRAME system
requires a minimum of 12 ounce
vinyl up to 23 ounce maximum.
For truck sides we recommend
18 ounce vinyl with scrim. The
lighter the vinyl, the less
fuel your truck uses. Our system
with 18 ounce vinyl won't loosen
over time because it is not
stretched during installation.
Heavier vinyl costs more per
square foot.
The
TRUCKADS®
billboard attaching system
is
strong
and safe. It will
not loosen and tear away from
the truck body over time. Compare
this with metal frames that
are rigid. Metal frames do not
flex with the truck like the
TRUCK ADS® Frame and over time
the rivets attaching it to the
truck will loosen and possibly
make the system unsafe and dangerous.
Unlike
banner sizes which can be
critical, the
frame can be cut with scissors
to fit the exact banner size.
Ordering a frame a couple of
inches larger is not necessary
either, because each kit contains
the right amount of frame (1-2 feet
extra), plus SECUR-TABS® and
ACTIVATOR.
This
rarely happens. To guard against
needing more frame, measure
twice before ordering and cut
once. If you need a patch frame
for the substrate or the banner,
go to our
iStore and order a frame
patch for the banner and/or
the substrate under "Tools and
Miscellaneous Items". Frame
patch kits come with all necessary
items for proper repairs and
replacement.
Our
proprietary, patented frame
system is strong and safe. Our
frames were tested safe by one
of the world's leading independent
vehicle testing facilities.
See
strength test. Actual drive
time in 2013 was estimated at
over 284,000,000 miles, without
failure. All frames come with
a
lifetime warranty.
Yes.
TRUCKADS® INVISA-FRAME kits
on stationary walls and billboards
cost less because less frame
is required for this type of
installation. When ordering
for stationary installations,
indicate if the application
is for "glass or ceramic" or
"other" surface. If you prefer,
purchase
Dual Lock at bulk prices,
for stationary installations
only.
TRUCKADS®
INVISA-FRAME will securely adhere
to raw metal, metal with baked
on factory finish, fiberglass,
glass and ceramic. Frame will
remain in place until you decide
to
remove it. Surface where
frame is to be attached must
be a non-porous, smooth flat
surface. Do not install TRUCKADS®
Frame directly to wood, brick,
concrete or non-baked on painted
surfaces. Once you purchase
the frame kit, see
installation manual for
additional details.
Next

TRUCKADS®
INVISA-FRAME is the slimmest
profile frame system for vehicles,
available for sale.
The frame is made from a polymer
material that is less than 3/16"
thick. The frame width is only
1" wide. The SECUR-TABS® are
approximately 1.5" square. When
attached to both sides of a
102" wide truck, the frame system
does not exceed truck width
limits mandated by the USDOT.
TRUCKADS® INVISA-FRAME System
is invisible when connected
to a truck side and the banner
is attached. When the banner
is removed THE INVISIBLE MEDIA
FRAME SYSTEM® is hardly noticeable
because it blends into the truck
side and is only 1" wide. See
cross section and installation
photos below. To compare ordinary
heavy metal frames with TRUCKADS®
Frames,

For
do it yourself installers,
a 53 foot long semi-trailer

foot box truck it costs

for both sides. Add about
$650 if you do the back
of the truck or trailer
with a decal.
