The PF-85 also had enough other "sores". The hydraulic cylinders were not attached to the frame rigidly enough, with a backlash. The vertical gap between the ends of the strips and the support sheet turned out to be greatly overestimated - as a result, a bulk load was clogged there, and the strips themselves gradually sagged. In addition, the slats "danced" in height up to 3 mm relative to each other: this caused unstable movement of some types of cargo inside the body and, over time, would certainly lead to deformation of the most protruding slats. The hydraulic valve, which ensures the cyclicity of loading and unloading processes, turned out to be unsuccessful, since the design of its drive did not ensure the stability of the settings during operation. It was also not possible to ensure the proper quality of sealing the movable wall, as a result, when unloading, part of the bulk cargo fell off it. Internal welds on the side walls of the body were so rough that they tore the bags and bales when unloading. And in the design of the awning winding mechanism, they forgot to provide a retainer that holds the fully folded awning near the right side of the body.
