East TIPPING PLATFORM TRAILER – TRADITIONAL EXTERNAL POST

East TIPPING PLATFORM TRAILER – TRADITIONAL EXTERNAL POST | Wallwork Truck Center

TIPPING PLATFORM TRAILER – TRADITIONAL EXTERNAL POST

With Genesis®, the East smooth-sided design offers the maximum combination of payload capacity, durability and operating savings. The aerodynamic design makes the Genesis tipping platform trailer easier to operate and reduces fuel consumption. No hydraulics required so there is no specially-equipped tractor required or additional weight, allowing greater payloads and a more versatile tractor.

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 tipping platform is supported by V-shaped cross members 9 inches apart (Fig. 2). This means an East tipping platform 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 tipping platform 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.

Specifications
TIPPING PLATFORM TRAILER – TRADITIONAL EXTERNAL POST SPECIFICATIONS
  • EXTRUDED ALUMINUM I-BEAM: The sub frame uses an 11-inch extruded aluminum I-beam, adding durability to reduce maintenance.
  • EASY BOTTOM CLEAN OUT: Inside bottom rail clean out facilitates efficient off-loading.
  • STEEL BOLT-ON BUMPER: Interfaces with equipment like dozers used at landfills push refuse trailers when they encounter muddy conditions.
  • LOW MAINTENANCE HARDWARE: Greaseable tailgate hardware is designed for longer life, reducing maintenance.
  • EXTRA-WIDE LANDING GEAR: Landing gear features extra-wide wings, diagonal support braces and C-channel cross members to withstand frequent shocks.
  • STRONG FIFTH-WHEEL ASSEMBLY: Fifth-wheel assembly is designed for maximum load-bearing strength with a stainless steel band to protect against galvanic corrosion.
  • INTEGRATED LIGHT PANEL: Rear-extruded light panel integrated into gate.
  • TROUBLE-FREE LED LIGHTS: Trouble-free operation from PC-rated marker lights in all locations, providing 180° superior visibility while drawing 10% to 25% fewer amps than traditional lights.
  • SEALED LIGHTING SYSTEM: Sealed plug connections are designed to prevent moisture infiltration and corrosion.
  • SEALED LIGHTING SYSTEM: Sealed plug connections are designed to prevent moisture infiltration and corrosion.
  • PLUG-TOGETHER WIRE HARNESS: Plug-together wire harness eliminates all junction boxes.
  • ELITE™ WHEEL-END WARRANTY: Standard wheel-end parts are warranted for 5 years or 350,000 miles. The assembly is filled with synthetic oil, which resists high-temperature breakdown.
  • OPTIONAL: Side-swing, overslung, center-split, airflow and leak-resistant tailgate options. From an in-cab screen, drivers can monitor air system pressure and load weight, or know if hoist is down and tailgate is latched.

Dump trailers were revolutionized with the smooth-side Genesis® design. The more aerodynamic design is easier to clean, and will not show any pings and dings on the outside like external post-style walls. And, the outboard Genesis design provides more capacity than external post-style trailers.

GENESIS® FEATURES
  • STRONGER SIDE WALLS: Genesis aerodynamic design has unique 2-inch-thick, double-wall extruded aluminum panels, robotically welded vertically inside and out for superior strength and resistance to bowing. This patented double-wall design protects the outer wall from dents, improving resale value – keeping your trailer looking good. Vertical panels are lighter than competitive horizontal panel systems, resist bowing better and reduce maintenance and repair costs. In addition to maximum strength, welding inside and out reduces corrosion from road salt penetration.
  • ADVANCED WALL-TO-FLOOR CONSTRUCTION: Advanced wall-to-floor construction secures the critical point for trailer strength – the welded union of cross members, floor plates and side walls. For a super strong floor-to-wall attachment joint, cross members and floor plates interlock into the bottom rub rail, forming a pocket to accept the side wall panels. The 3-inch spacing of interior panel ribs give 8 times more wall support than external posts positioned every 25 inches. And, the inside walls stay flatter, creating fewer high points to decrease wear. We offer optional thicker aluminum in higher wear areas, like the inside last 4 feet of the trailer. Tipping platform trailer width is increased 4 inches for up to 7.75 cubic yards of extra payload.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT, SMOOTH-WALLED TAILGATE: Less weight without sacrificing strength or durability. Dirt, mud, snow and ice don’t build up on the smooth surface.
