Multiple-Gauge-Steel
We offer a broad range of steel types, to build a dump body that accommodates any field application, from 10 gauge mild (36,000 lb yield), to ¼” Hardox 450 (145,000 lb. yield). Whether you’re hauling sand and gravel, or a steady diet of demolition rip-rap, Ox Bodies will design and build the right body for your needs.
Rugged Body Understructures
We build our dump bodies with two basic understructures
-
a traditional stacked style, with tubular steel longsills and cross-members on 12” centers, or
- a western style (crossmemberless) understructure, in a tubular or “I” beam design.
Custom built understructures are available as well.
Floors
Ox dumps use a standard 3/16 hi-tensile one piece floor design on our traditional square bodies, with no seams, and 45 degree corners for easy clean out. Our elliptical bodies feature ¼” Hardox 450 material on the floor and 26” radiused side panels.
A lapped seam between the floor panel and sides are full length welded, top and bottom, for unparalleled strength.
