Truck Dump Body
Truck Dump Body
The aluminum truck dump body is custom engineered and manufactured to your demanding specifications. Only premium aluminum alloys for flooring and side material are used for long life and durability. The East Genesis® smooth-side construction permits the side walls to be insulated for asphalt operation.
Standard Features
Solid box extruded cross-member design provides support under floor seams for longer floor life. U-shaped cross members have special contact point flanges for extra support, and welds are positioned away from high-stress areas.
Chassis cross member gussets are bolted – not welded – to allow the assembly the flexibility to give under normal stresses and vibrations, yet still maintain a positive connection.
The ¼-inch-thick rear corner posts wrap completely around top and bottom rails and interlock to add strength, reducing side-to-side distortion.
Available in 12- and 20-inch widths, East coal/grain doors are equipped with UHMW plastic bearings and self-lubricating grease fittings at the pivot point, providing smooth, easy operation and low maintenance. For precise control flow, each door locks over center with the ability to lock at various positions.
Top hinges and bottom latch are bolt-on for easy replacement. Anti-corrosive coating and shims protect steel-to-aluminum connections.
Steel tailgate pins are zinc-plated for easy replacement. Anti-corrosive coating and shims protect steel-to-aluminum connections.
Uniquely engineered for longer life, the dump hinge shoe is crafted from hardened ductile steel, with twin grease valleys machined inside for easy 360° lube around the pin.
An air filter in the service line protects the ABS module from micro-particles entering the system.
Sealed plug connections are designed to prevent moisture infiltration and corrosion.
Plug-together wire harness eliminates all junction boxes, and comes with a 10-year warranty. Sealed wire harness enclosed in water-resistant rear panel. Water-tight conduit and sealed beam lamps complete the system, resulting in fewer corrosion-related lighting problems.
Steel components are carefully prepared, primed and coated with a baked-on paint, producing a durable, attractive finish that resists corrosion.
Standard wheel-end parts are warranted for 5 years/unlimited mileage. The assembly is filled with synthetic oil, which resists high-temperature breakdown.
Optional Features
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 itself.
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.
