RSSSwedish steel manufacturer 4877 SSAB is offering a new tipper truck body design that is said to be light in weight and durable. Called Arc Design, the new body combines the versatility of a conventional box tipper with the light weight of a half-pipe tipper. The key feature of the new design is its convex-formed bottom made of Hardox wear plate, which absorbs heavy loads, increases durability and reduces weight. This innovative design also features space for exhaust heating to prevent materials from sticking and is particularly suitable for tippers used to transport sand, gravel, rocks and asphalt. The design is said to protect the body's underlying structure from damage, such as dents from big stones. With the new Arc Design, tippers can now be manufactured that are 30-50% lighter and without sacrificing volume according to SSAB, while also being more durable and able to tip backwards or to the side.
