Trailers and body builders
This truck is operating in a mountain environment, with steep incline. This makes saving weight even more important. The new tipper body design is made of Hardox® 450, increasing the heavy duty tipper’s load capacity by about 8% compared to similar solutions of standard design. In addition to this, the life-time of the body is doubled from 5 years to 10 years.
SSAB EcoUpgraded
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.
