Construction Materials

  • AL version (Aluminium): lighter weight, suitable for frequent loads with higher payload margin.

  • STEEL version: heavier, more durable construction, suited for more abrasive, heavier materials or tougher usage conditions.

Features & Highlights

  • Designed for ease of unloading landscaping or bulk materials (soil, mulch, gravel, green waste) thanks to the dump-body arrangement.

  • Choice of material gives you flexibility: aluminium for lighter loads and better net payload; steel for durability under heavier/rougher loads.

  • Built by a specialist manufacturer (Metro Tow Trucks) with industry-standard body-attachment capability and likely compatible with truck chassis used in recovery/transport applications.

  • Suitable for operators who need a dump-body rather than full tilt/rollback or rotator recovery unit – e.g., landscaping firms, municipal maintenance fleets, transport of loose bulk materials instead of full vehicle recovery.

  • Sidewalls, tailgate and body geometry likely designed with landscaping workflow in mind—easy loading from one side or rear, tipping/unloading at job-site.

  • Likely includes hydraulic hoist mechanism (single-ram or double-ram), heavy-duty body mountings, tie-down and mounting points to adapt to truck chassis.

Typical Applications

  • Landscaping companies loading and dumping soil, mulch, shrubs, green waste or small equipment.

  • Municipal or public works operations handling tree/green-waste haulage, maintenance debris removal, light bulk transport.

  • Light commercial operations where a tipping body is preferred to flat-bed for faster unload at job sites.

Specifications

  • Internal body dimensions: length, width, height of sidewalls.

  • Empty (tare) weight of the body (for both AL and Steel versions) so you can compute net payload.

  • Maximum payload rating of the body when mounted on your targeted truck chassis.

  • Hoist/tipping mechanism: single ram vs double-ram, tipping angle, max lift height.

  • Tailgate type: drop-gate, barn-door, self-lock, air/hydraulic assist.

  • Material grade: For AL version – alloy type, thickness; For Steel version – steel grade, thickness, reinforcements.

  • Mounting/chassis compatibility: Wheelbase, axle ratings, suspension, mounting brackets for your truck skeleton.

  • Finish & protection: For Steel version especially – corrosion protection (paint, galvanised), for AL version – maintenance/coating.

  • Road & regulatory compliance: Especially for India – permissible gross vehicle weight, axle loads, registration requirements, safety lights/markings.

  • Service & spares availability: Ensure local support for hydraulic hoist, body wear items, tailgate components.
