Industry Trailers and body builders

In this tipper body, the hardness of the abrasive-resistant steel plates was increased from a 400 HBW steel to Hardox® 450, saving 1.3 tons of weight – equivalent to a weight reduction of 30% for the upgraded parts. This means an increase in the trailer’s load capacity from 27 tons to 28.3 tons, or about 5%.
