Horizon Round Bottom Dump Trailer
Finally you can have all the advantages of lightweight, strength, durability and good looks – all in the new Horizon® Round Bottom Trailer. This new design gives the trailer a lower center of gravity and a greater payload capacity compared to a typical half-round trailer. In addition the round-bottom shape allows it to empty cleaner and faster than traditional square-bottom trailers. Designed with the needs of aggregate, sand and gravel as well as agriculture loads in mind, the Horizon maximizes payload by incorporating lighter weight components while still delivering strength and durability. Its base weight is 9,860 pounds*, which is lighter weight when compared to the East Hybrid dump trailer.
Like all East frameless dump trailers, the Horizon round bottom uses only premium aluminum alloys for flooring and sidewall material for long life and durability.
Standard Features
Replaceable stainless steel saddle receiver assembly bolted into a lightweight aluminum sub-structure for reduced tare weight and maximum durability.
The aerodynamically designed fenders protect the trailer from road debris and provide a nicely finished look.
Top hinges and bottom latch are bolt-on for easy replacement. Anticorrosive coating and shims protect steel-to-aluminum connections.
Steel tailgate pins are zinc-plated and shrouded with stainless steel insulators to protect steel-to-aluminum connections.
An air filter in the service and emergency lines protects the ABS module from micro-particles entering the system.
The READY-TO-ROLL HXL5® is designed to maximize uptime and efficiency and reduce wheel-end maintenance. The preassembled and adjusted HXL5 features a premium seal, high-performance synthetic semi-fluid grease and a PRECISION320™ spindle nut system, which allows for ultra-precise bearing adjustment.
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.
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-lb. static rating and a 55,000-lb. lift, the landing gear comes standard with a 10-Year Warranty.
Ultra ONE® 22.5″ x 8.25″ aluminum wheel is standard. At just 39 pounds, the wheel is the lightest wheel in its class and strong enough for demanding applications.
Steel components are carefully prepared, primed and coated with a baked-on paint, producing a durable, attractive finish that resists corrosion.
Optional Features
Engineered for durability and enhanced performance, East offers a standard lift axle system or automatic lift axle system, developed for varying load operations.
Available in 12- and 20-inch widths, 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.
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.
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.
