Hamelex White launches next-gen tipper

Tipper trailer manufacturer Hamelex White has pulled the covers off its latest steel tipper, the model boasting many improvements and benefits

Just in time for grain season, trailer heavyweight Hamelex White has released an updated steel tip over axle trailer, the STOA3.

Hamelex White says the trailer incorporates a raft of improvements over the existing model that go well beyond its all-new look, with a new design that is stronger yet lighter – for higher payloads and enhanced durability – taking centre stage.

According to Hamelex White General Manager, Craig Wallace, no aspect was ignored in the new model's creation.

"Everything from the wheels up was re-considered in order to come up with a ground-breaking new design," he says.

"The first thing people will notice is the striking new appearance. The rounded sides are gone in favour of a new, squarer look. Operators will also notice new designs for the front wall and tailgate. However, the most important part of the STOA3 is the reduced tare weight."

Wallace says Hamelex White's engineers were able to produce a trailer that is 250kg lighter than the previous model, giving customers 250kg of additional payload and, subsequently, greater productivity.

"This has all been without loss of trailer strength," he says.

"In fact, the new design is actually more robust than the previous model."

Strength has been enhanced by the use of squarer side walls and a new tailgate and top rail design, while the trailer also incorporates a new user-friendly mudflap arrangement.

"On previous designs you would often see drivers tie up the rear mudflaps behind the trailer so that they didn’t break off when tipping, which significantly reduces their effectiveness," says Wallace.

"The new hinged design means that the mudflaps automatically fold underneath the trailer when tipping, with no adjustment required from the driver. This means the mudflaps work more effectively out on the road and have increased durability."

Hamelex White’s new STOA3 steel tip over axle model is a tri-axle trailer, available in single, B-Double or road train configurations. The manufacturer says it's ideal for carrying bulk products such as grain, gypsum and lime. A quarry-spec model is also available, as is a bogey-axle STOA2.

The STOA3 is now available through Hamelex White’s Australian dealer network.
