East End Dump Trailers

East-Genesis
While conventional hauling trailers often get the most attention on the road, dump trailers are actually the star of the show in the trucking industry. After all, without dump trucks and trailers, factories couldn’t be built to manufacture the goods hauled by conventional trailers.

Choosing the Right Dump Trailers

Choosing the right dump trailer really hasn’t changed all that much, but the technology behind dump truck trailers certainly has evolved. At the end of the day, you want a trailer that can handle the largest load with the most efficiency for the least amount of money.
Older trailers for dump trucks were traditionally manufactured using steel construction to handle a lot of abuse, but modern options offer durability and dependability using aluminum construction. For example, the East Genesis from East Trailers is built to stand up to tough conditions while saving you money through advanced aerodynamics and fuel economy.

Aluminum Offers Opportunities

The East Genesis utilizes double-wall extruded aluminum panels that are two inches thick and features a smooth exterior that prevents dents from showing through. Speaking of the exterior, the trailer’s design was crafted to improve fuel economy. In addition to the aerodynamic design, the aluminum exterior of the East Genesis means that mud, ice and debris don’t build up, further reducing weight in tough conditions.

Forging techniques and additives make modern aluminum products stronger than ever. In fact, according to The Aluminum Association, today’s aluminum can be made as strong or even stronger than steel. All of this comes with a lighter weight and a more malleable surface that can push the trucking industry forward in the years to come.

Traditional Trailers Still Drive the Industry

Although aluminum offers plenty of benefits, steel construction dump trailers are still a proven solution when you need to haul heavy loads in tough conditions. That’s why East Trailers also manufactures a full line of traditional trailer options, including frame and frameless trailers, quarter frame and hybrid trailers as well as steel dump trailers. The rugged dependability of steel is still a mainstay for hard working men and women across the world, and East Trailers delivers options for a wide variety of jobs.
