Celebrating Our First 10 Years 1997-2007! |

All of our dump bodies are built with the same material as
a trailer dump. We overbuild our bodies to last a long time not to just be
light. Light aluminum bodies don't make it in the work environment. All upright
aluminum for our headboard, sides and tailgate is 3/16" 5052 aluminum. Our
floors are plate style decks with 1/4" or 3/8" for extreme duty applications.
Our cross members are I-beam on 12" centers, Typically 3" on 1 ton bodies and 4"
on everything else. Our long sills on our dumps are heavy structural channel.
Our smaller bodies will have a 5" channel longsill with a .497" wall, compare
that to the lightweights available. We also have a unique latch system for our
tailgates. We developed a linear style cam latch for the tailgate that allows
the latch rod running from front to back to travel in a straight line. There is
no bell crank or rotating linkage like the conventional style latches. This
allows us to keep the toolboxes up much higher than the competition. Our rear
shaft for our lower latch is actually mounted in bronze bearings. Our latch dogs
are all billet aluminum as well. Our bodies are constructed to last many years
and possibly 2 or 3 chassis depending on how you take care of them. Please feel
free to call with any questions or needs you may have.
