Truck and Trailer Guide

DuraClass recently introduced the newly improved HPT "tub" body line. The line has been redesigned to meet all heavy duty dump body needs.

The HPT-B1 features a closed fender design, and comes in 14- to 18-ft. (4.3 to 5.5 m) lengths in either carbon steel or stainless steel. The HPT-B1 has capacity ranges from 10- to 20-cu. yd. (7.6 to 15.3 cu m).

The HPT-B2 features an open fender design, which decreases the possible areas for rust and the overall body weight. The body comes in 10- and 11-ft. (3 to 3.3 m) lengths in 3/16-in. AR400 carbon steel, and 14- to 18-ft. (4.2 to 5.4 m) lengths in 3/16-in. hi-tensile carbon steel. The HPT-B2 also has an option for stainless steel.

DuraClass designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of premium Class 3 to 8 dump bodies, hoists, and related equipment and offers more than 100 years of engineering and manufacturing expertise.
