Half-round, half-square end dump
Feb 1, 2002 12:00 PM
THE new Transmax end dump is called the Evolution because it is the third generation shape in dump trailers. The first generation was the flat-floor, rectangular dump body, followed by the half-round shape. This third generation is half-round in front, but square at the rear. The advantage is that traditional doors work better with the square rear end.
The dump body is constructed of Hardox 450 steel. The floor is 6 mm (.236") and the sidewalls are 4 mm (.157") thick.
