A-train tipper trailers
These THIN-WALL aluminum tipper trailers were custom-built to maximize payloads for waste hauling in the Rocky Mountain region, and led a transition from rail-based waste transportation to a more flexible system that ships by truck.
The “Rocky Mountain Double” configuration takes advantage of permits available in regions that allow truckers to run A-trains totalling up to 110 feet in length with payloads of up 41.6 tons per truck. These new A-train trailers come in at almost 95 feet long, and are capable of hauling 234 cubic yards (178 m3) of municipal solid waste on each trip. Patented THINWALL extruded aluminum sidewall panels reduce tare weight so the trailers can earn more on each run, and reduce fuel cost.
