Abstract: Apparatus and methods directed to a panel for use on a trailer. The panel includes a panel member core with a length that can have a first segment of thermoplastic foam extending the length and a second segment of thermoplastic foam extending the length adjacent the first segment. The first segment can have a first density and the second segment can have a second density. The first density can be greater than the second density. A sheet can extend over the first and second segments and can be laminated to the panel member core. The panel member can be formed through extrusion.

Abstract: An electric motor includes a gear assembly having at least one gear arranged within a stationary gear support. The stationary gear support includes an outer surface having an axial retainer mounting element. A drive shaft is operatively coupled to the at least one gear. An output shaft includes a first end and a second end. The second end is operatively coupled to the drive shaft. The output shaft is axially shiftable relative to the drive shaft in a first direction and in an opposing second direction. A clutch assembly is supported on the second end of the output shaft. The clutch assembly includes a clutch shell having a first end and a second end. An axial retainer is detachably mounted to the axial retainer mounting element. The axial retainer is configured and disposed to engage the second end of the clutch shell to limit axial travel of the clutch assembly.
