Michigan Dump Trailers
Michigan Series Dump Trailers
East builds a wide variety of frame dump trailers with multi-axle configurations that meet the requirements of hauling in the State of Michigan. Both East Genesis® and external post styles are available for triple- ten (gravel train), super-train, break-up double, 12 wheelers and up to 8-axle semi-trailer configurations. East Michigan Series Dump Trailers are also available in steel.
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.
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
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.
Both 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 control flow, each 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 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.
