RANDOLPH, Ohio – April 10, 2013 – For harsh conditions, East refuse trailers are designed to maximize payload and still provide you the strength to handle the stresses of hauling refuse day in and day out.

Combining the aerodynamics of the Genesis^® smooth-side design with the advanced system of floor-to-wall attachment adds strength to East’s refuse trailers. Genesis^® extruded side panels are 2-inch thick and formed with internal ribs every 3 inches, giving the side wear surface eight times the support of external posts positioned every 25 inches.

Its unique double-wall construction protects the outer skin from dents and bulges, allowing the trailer to look great for years to come. And, this unique wall is welded inside and out for maximum strength and easier repair. To withstand loading abuse, East’s extruded top rails are ½-inch thick on top and inside edges.

A 4-inch increase in the width of the tipping platform trailer provides up to 5.75 cu. yds. of additional payload.

East Unloader^® are also available in traditional sheet-and-post style. Its extruded bottom rail allows continuous welding of side posts and side walls for increased durability. East has incorporated a beefed up 5-1/2-inch by 9-inch by 5/8-inch top rail with integral rail reinforcement to help eliminate side bow and damage to the side wall from overhead loading.

East’s stronger 5-1/4-inch extruded I-beam floor cross-members offer 30% more bending resistance over 4-inch cross members.

Refuse trailers are offered with value-added features, including:

• Proven Keith® and Hallco® floors ensure fast, efficient unloading with specifications matched to customer needs, and the subframe with integrated push block has been redesigned for greater durability
• Landing gear features extra-wide wings, diagonal support braces and C-channel cross members to withstand frequent shocks
• Side-swing, overslung, center-split, airflow and leak-resistant tailgate options
• Plug-together wire harness eliminates all junction boxes
• Stainless steel banded fifth-wheel assembly, designed for maximum load-bearing strength
• Standard East Elite wheel-end parts, warranted for 5 years or 350,000 miles

Since 1968, East has been dedicated to ensuring each trailer model is engineered and built to be the best in class.
