Unloader Refuse Trailer
Unloader Refuse Trailer
The East Unloader 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. The unique 2-inch thick, double-wall extruded aluminum panels that are tongue-and-groove design, are robotically welded together, vertically inside and out for superior strength and resistance to twisting.
Stronger Floor
Proven Hallco® live floors and Keith® walking floors ensure fast, efficient unloading with specifications matched to your needs. Our sub-frame with an integrated push block is designed for greater durability.
Competitive trailers rely on either a 4-sided tube or a U-shape extrusion (Fig. 3) for subdecking for live-floor support. East uses only the 4-sided tubular subdeck design to support all moving floors (Fig. 4), which is proven to be stronger than U-shape extrusions.
For moving floors, a U-shaped extrusion lacks in structural support, and can flare out under pressure. When this happens, the UHMW bearings can wear out prematurely, causing the flooring slats to detach. This problem is often not detected until it’s too late for an easy repair.
The East external post Unloader has been a long-time leader in performance and durability.
Standard Features
The subframe uses an 11-inch extruded aluminum I-beam, adding durability for strength and to reduce maintenance.
Inside bottom rail clean out facilitates efficient off-loading.
Access panel in the bulkhead provides plenty of room for technicians to work on live floor hydraulic systems, and to maneuver the necessary tools for the job.
Subframe has an integrated bumper with push block that’s designed for greater durability.
Top hinges and side swing hinges are greaseable. Greaseable tailgate hardware is designed for longer life, reducing maintenance.
Prevents contamination of the airlines.
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.
Fifth-wheel assembly is designed for maximum load-bearing strength with a steel band to protect against galvanic corrosion.
Landing gear features extra-wide wing mounting brackets as well as diagonal support braces and C-channel bracing to withstand frequent drops.
This standard lightweight landing gear provides increased durability and strength. A durable internal gearbox and standard JOST gear allows for easy interchangeability. The HX150 Magnum includes a galvanized inner lower leg and crank handle, and an aluminum outer leg. With a 200,000 static rating and a 70,000-lb. lift, the 5-year maintenance free landing gear comes standard with a 10-Year Warranty. See JOST Extreme Duty Double Cushion Foot for the HX150 Magnum Series Landing Gear.
The standard JOST Extreme Duty Double Cushion Foot provides the forgiveness and reliability a tough environment calls for. With twice the cushion inside the shoe, a trailer can withstand a greater impact than before, without risking damage to the landing gear. It reduces stress when a leg impacts the ground with significant force, protecting the integrity of the internal working of the leg. It retrofits onto any current cushion foot landing gear.
Rear-extruded light panel integrated into gate.
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.
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.
All air tanks have cable-operated drains
Optional Features
Customers have indicated that they have increased fuel savings when the gate is open when traveling empty.
58-inch, 74-inch and 102-inch wide hinged floor catwalk.
The door allows a driver access to the inside of the trailer without climbing a ladder.
Waterseal tailgates are standard on Genesis refuse trailers and optional on external post refuse trailers.
