Truck and Trailer Guide

Rugby Manufacturing recently unveiled the newly redesigned line of Eliminator LP dump bodies to better meet distributor and customer needs. The Eliminator LP line is available in carbon steel, aluminum and stainless steel construction in 9 and 11 ft. (2.7 and 3.3 m) lengths with interchangeable parts. A 12 ft. (3.6 m) model is available in carbon steel and aluminum. The steel model now features a seamless, one-piece 10 gauge steel floor for optimum strength and durability. A lower mounting height improves stability on all models, while a full 9-ft. inside diameter allows for full sheets of plywood or other materials.

All Rugby Eliminator LP models are available with fold-down sides and feature Rugby’s EZ-LATCH upper tailgate mechanism, which releases the tailgate quickly and keeps it more secure when closed. New features also include a front corner post, standardized cabshields throughout the line, understructure with installed wire harness loops and bolt-on tarp hooks.

The stainless steel Eliminator LP is corrosion-resistant and highly durable. Rugby aluminum Eliminator LP bodies weigh up to 50 percent less than traditional carbon steel and provide an exceptional strength to weight ratio, resulting in increased payload, improved fuel efficiency and corrosion resistance.

Rugby backs each of its dump bodies with a three-year warranty.
