The truck or dump body is made of metal casing that is specially fitted onto the chassis of the truck. It allows you an easy source of transportation of goods from place to place.
Most truck and dump bodies currently on the market are hydraulically operated with a few pneumatic operated bodies available. To unload the goods the hydraulic system is started. The hydraulic system contains the pump, cylinder, and pistons. An air compressor, not a pump, is used for the pneumatic system. With the help of these mechanical supports, the front part of the vehicle can be lifted to unload. In the end the body returns to its normal position.
There are many different types of dump bodies made from numerous types of materials. The kind of goods to be transported will determine the dimensions of the truck body.
The design and shape of the truck depend upon the size and shape of the material to be transported on a regular basis. A truck used for the transportation of vehicles (such as cars or motorcycles) is shaped accordingly. If the truck will mainly transport regular goods, a body style that is created for universal applications could be used.
Every truck has limited carrying power. Chassis can get damaged if the load exceeds the specified limit. The base or body of the vehicle needs to be strong enough to support the loads for which the chassis was made. Therefore it is very important to choose appropriate material.
Some of the common types of dumpers are:
(1) Those used for the transportation of asphalt. This type of dump body can handle large loads and stand up to heat. Asphalt dump bodies have rounded edges, allowing the substance to be dumped smoothly, as well as a hydraulic lift system.
(2) A high lift tail gate truck body is designed off the hydraulic system for the transportation of construction materials.
(3) Conveyors and high lift installation bodies are commonly used for lifting loads to a higher level throughout the city. Conveyors and a high rising lifts are included as part of this body. A professional in the roofing business would need such a truck.
Many other shapes are also available on the market for truck bodies. Chassis manufacturers and external after-market manufacturers sell truck and dump bodies directly to the public. Bodies custom made to your requirements and budget can be purchased through an after market manufacturer.
