Performance Advantages
1. Maximum Payload Efficiency
The aluminum Wave construction + Wedge body allows superior cubic capacity without the extra weight of steel — perfect for maximizing loaded miles.
2. Faster Dumps & Cleaner Discharge
The Wedge taper reduces bridging and keeps your cycle times tight on busy sites.
3. Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Wave sidewalls outperform traditional flat sheet aluminum thanks to:
Internal structural webs
Dual-wall construction
Higher resistance to denting
Better lifespan under abrasive materials
4. Lower Fuel Costs Over Time
A 39' aluminum end dump can save thousands annually on fuel vs. heavier steel tubs.
5. Long-Term Durability
Aluminum construction resists corrosion from aggregate dust, road salts, and general wear — stretching your ROI over years of service.
Ideal Hauling Applications
Sand
Gravel / aggregates
Rock
Demolition debris
Asphalt / millings
Clay / dirt
Agricultural loads
Waste / sludge (with liner)
Oilfield materials
Construction site hauling
This size and configuration is especially suited for West Texas, the Permian, construction, asphalt, aggregate quarries, and large-scale dirt work operations.
