MaxiTRANS unveils Landslide tipper liner
New proprietary tipper liner reduces tip angle by up to 30 per cent, manufacturer saysAustralian trailer firm MaxiTRANS has unveiled a new tipper liner which it says reduces the required tipping angle significantly, thereby affording a safer, more stable tipping platform.
MaxiTRANS says its tipper liner, dubbed 'Landslide', is the only proprietary product of its type available in Australia, and is the product of the company's extensive knowledge and expertise in tipper engineering and manufacturing.
Initially available as an option on all Hamelex White standard-width trailers and bodies, MaxiTRANS says Landslide reduces the tip angle by up to 30 per cent when unloading an end tipper, compared to a tipper with no liner installed, reducing the trailer's centre of gravity and providing a safer more stable tipping platform.
As a further safety benefit, the height of the tipped trailer is also lower, reducing the chance of it making contact with overhead obstacles.
Kevin Manfield, MaxiTRANS General Manager of Products and Markets, said that fitting Landslide during trailer manufacture improves price and delivery.
"Due to it being a proprietary product, MaxiTRANS is able to install Landslide during the primary manufacturing process, rather than being installed after completion by a third party," he said.
"This provides us with lead time and cost efficiencies that we're able to pass on to our customers.
"Landslide is affixed to the trailer using a unique method which eliminates the need for rivets. The removal of unsightly rivets from the outside of the tub improves aesthetics and also means there are fewer catch points inside the tub, resulting in better product discharge."
Landslide also features UV protection and impact and abrasion resistance for durability.
"Fitting the Landslide tipper liner to trailers absorbs many of the effects of materials being loaded and unloaded, protecting the trailer body from a large degree of wear and damage," said Mr Manfield.
Landslide is available now via the MaxiTRANS dealer network as an option on all new Hamelex White standard-width rigid, dog and semi tippers.
