East Trailers Unveils New Dump Trailer
April 2, 2010
RANDOLPH, Ohio (March 22, 2010) — East has combined the
advantages of a square-box dump trailer with the advantages of a half-round dump
trailer, and joined them together in one trailer – the newest Genesis trailer
from East. So new it doesn’t even have a name yet, East will display the
prototype of the new trailer at the 2010 MATS (booth no. 34035) to invite
customer comment and input.
For quite some time East engineers have been working on
an answer to customer requests for a dump trailer with a lighter tare weight,
like a half-round, yet with the better handling and stable dumping
characteristics of a square-box dump trailer.
The result is this hybrid (so to speak) concept – a
square-box trailer with a round bottom. A durable dump trailer with the
advantages of both kinds of trailers. And a striking, revolutionary new look for
dump trailers.
The newest patent pending trailer from East to carry the
Genesis name offers multiple benefits:
Total weight in the 9,500 to 10,000 lbs.
range, depending on options.
2 + yards greater capacity than a
traditional half-round trailer, giving you even greater payload
opportunity.
A center-of-gravity that’s 7 + inches
lower than a traditional half-round for:
Better cornering/better
stability
More operational
peace-of-mind
A stronger, more rigid body for better
stability and more resistance to body twisting.
After the Mid America Truck Show the new Genesis trailer
will be road tested to ensure it meets the company’s stringent criteria. East
expects the trailer will have a new name and be ready for sale by mid-summer.
Headquartered in Randolph, Ohio, East Manufacturing Corporation offers a
full line of aluminum dump, platform and refuse trailers, steel and aluminum
dump bodies, and heavy duty trucking accessories. Ranked in the top 25 trailer
manufacturers in the U.S., East has a network of over 50
trailer distributors and 400 accessories dealers nationwide.
