Trailers and body builders
In this ultra-light tipper chassis 610 kg of Strenx® 960 Plus replaces 750 kg of S700MC steel. And in the body, 830 kg of Hardox® 500 Tuf steel replaces 1,000 kg of Hardox® 450. This means a total weight reduction of 18% for the upgraded parts. This doubled the life time of the body to 12 years, eliminating the need to change the body on this chassis. In addition to this the weight was reduced by 310 kgs, which increased the load capacity with the same amount.
