Tipper Refuse Trailer
Tipper Refuse Trailer
The East Tipper Refuse Trailer stays on the job longer, reducing downtime and increasing profits. By incorporating lightweight and longer-lasting components into each and every trailer, East has earned the reputation of time-tested performance and higher resale value.
The East design uses high-quality aluminum with 33% more yield strength than the industry standard. The unique 2-inch thick, double-wall extruded aluminum panels that are tongue-and-grove design, are robotically welded together, vertically inside and out for superior strength and resistance to twisting.
The flooring of an East Tipper is supported by V-shaped cross members 9 inches apart. This means it will have more support front-to-rear and less susceptibility to floor wave.
Stronger Floor
Competitors use either I-beam supports on a 14-inch center, or U-channel supports spaced 11 inches apart (Fig. 1). The flooring in an East Tipper is supported by V-shaped cross members 9 inches apart (Fig. 2). This means an East Tipper will have more even support — front-to-rear — and less susceptibility to floor wave. All with less cross members — and less weight than you would find on competitive tipper trailers.
East V-shape cross members provide a major performance advantage: More structural support. East refuse trailers have less unsupported space in the trailer floors. That translates into more support in top-loading operations, and more support if the customers run a fork lift into the trailer.
Greasable tailgate hardware is designed for longer life, reducing maintenance. Landing gear features extra-wide wings, diagonal support braces and C-channel cross members to withstand frequent shocks.
The new Lightweight East Tipper is designed to maximize payload and still provide the strength to handle the stresses of hauling refuse day in and day out in the harshest conditions. As part of our continuous improvement and commitment to increase value to you, East has reengineered the Tipper to increase payload by removing over 1,000 pounds of excess weight by converting many steel components to aluminum and yet maintaining maximum strength.
The East external post Tipper has been a long-time leader in performance and durability. The durable design of the East external post Tipper, proven to perform with top efficiency and minimum downtime, gives you a better bottom line.
