Chassis

A high tipping point aids the stacking of produce in the field.  The chassis is built from 355 grade (structural) Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS), with 8mm steel used in the raised rear sub frame. The chassis is manufactured in a wide format for increased trailer stability. Rear anti jack rams are standard on the HMDT16, but extras on the smaller sizes.

Top Buck

Where possible, the floor sheets are one pieced for extra longevity. When lowered, the tipping buck sits on rubber blocks fixed to the chassis which provide a cushioning to the shock being transmitted from the chassis to the buck.

 Bespoke alterations for Hiab cranes or any other alterations are gladly undertaken. Prices are available on request.

Running Gear

All trailers have sprung suspension to provide a cushion between rough terrain and the trailer. This reduces the high stress levels that are imposed on a chassis with a single mounting system, it also makes the trailers more stable when tipping as the drawbar is less likely to lift. All trailers have suitable under-body, chassis and wheel-to-wheel clearance for flotation tyres.

Side panels

HM dump trailers all have the side panels folded horizontally in their centre and into the floor plate. This increases the side sheet strength, reducing the risk of distortion from welding or loading. The top rails are made from folded sections, replaceable if they become damaged.
