Trailers and body builders
This semi-trailer scrap box was designed to become super light, using laser welded sidewalls with integrated top beam and floor made of Hardox® 450. In addition, Strenx® 700 material was used in the trailer chassis. This means a total weight reduction of 3 tons compared to similar solutions of standard design. This increases the load capacity by approximately 10%.
Together with our customers, SSAB continually upgrades steel and equipment designs. SSAB EcoUpgraded saves CO2 both in steel production and during the full lifetime of the machine.
From the CO2 payback time and onwards, every extra hour brings additional savings.
