Steel Dump Trailer
Steel Dump Trailers
You’ll make more profit per payload with an East steel dump trailer. That’s because we build East steel dump trailers to give you more payload per trip, yet we maintain strength, so you don’t waste your profits with downtime and repairs.
The life cycle advantages alone make an East steel dump trailer one of the most cost-effective trailers you can buy. You get the added value of our one-year limited warranty, support from our nationwide network of trained dealers and the higher resale value that East quality brings.
Standard Features
All East steel and aluminum chassis are constructed from one-piece I-beams. This design results in fewer welds and joints than a fabricated beam, and provides more efficient use of material – putting the strength where it’s needed. Chassis cross member gussets are bolted – not welded – to allow the assembly the flexibility to give under normal stresses and vibrations.
We offer longer floor life with longitudinal beams that reduce contortion. We build extra support into our floors so you get extra service life. Twin longitudinal 4-inch x 4-inch box beams are full length to reduce body twist.
The hoist base assembly is made of ¼-inch thick, 3-inch x 5-inch seamless tubing for extra strength in this high-stress area.
Up to 50 pounds lighter per set and no external gearbox, the AX150 Alumilight includes a galvanized inner lower leg, crank handle and cross shaft. With a 160,000 static rating and a 50,000-lb lift, the maintenance free landing gear comes standard with a 10-Year Warranty.
The long-life tailgate hardware is bolt-on, cast steel for easy replacement. For maximum strength and resistance to cracking, our rear hinge mount is attached to the mainframe web then connected to an outer pocket gusset. The hinge shoes are mounted on a 2-3/4-inch diameter high Brinnell hollow tube for longer wear life and tight tolerances.
Sealed beam lamps and isolated ground wiring are used for all lights. A sealed wire harness is enclosed in a water-resistant rear panel, reducing exposure to corrosion and failures in this vulnerable area.
To guard against corrosion, the harness has been designed as a closed system by integrating a molded plug with two sealing surfaces rather than just one.
Ultra ONE® 22.5″ x 8.25″ aluminum wheel is standard. At just 39 pounds, the wheel is the lightest in its class and strong enough for demanding applications.
East steel dump trailers are sandblasted, primed and coated with a baked-on paint finish to give your East steel dump trailer a durable, classy look.
Optional Features
ZMD air springs are designed to provide continuous damping over the life of the air spring. The shockless suspension reduces maintenance. Robust down stops provide maximum durability which reduces labor, costs and maintenance over the life of the trailer.
East offers a choice of axle, suspension and wheel assemblies, building the assembly that best meets your specific needs – in your choice of tandem, tri-axle, multi-axle or lift axle.
The power lift tailgate is designed to lift the tailgate up and away from the rear of the trailer to assist in loading larger materials.
East coal/grain doors are equipped with UHMW plastic bearings and grease fittings at the pivot point, providing smooth, easy operation and low maintenance. For precise flow control, the door locks over center with the ability to lock at various positions.
An actuator handle located at the bottom rear of the body enables you to convert the tailgate from side swing-to-top swing and vice verse. The latch that engages and releases the top pin is hidden and protected inside the rear post.
The Side Swing Tailgate Guide Ramp Roller prevents top pin misalignment by guiding the gate and top pin back into position during closing, making the gate much easier and faster to close.
