New bumpers increase service life of transfer trailers

Steel bumpers are now standard equipment on all East live-floor and tipper transfer trailers. These new bolt-on bumpers provide additional strength and protection for the refuse and materials trailer, especially in a landfill or recycling environment, increasing the overall service life of the trailer. For East live-floor trailers, the bumper incorporates a slope plate designed to interface with the kinds of equipment – typically a dozer – used to push transfer trailers when they encounter muddy or sloppy conditions. For East tipper trailers, the bumper has built-in rubber pads designed to reduce the stress and impact where the trailer interfaces with a tipping platform. The bolt-on design utilizes special connectors to inhibit galvanic corrosion. East transfer trailers are available in Genesis fuel-efficient smooth-side, or classic sheet-and-post sidewall construction. Both versions are available as tipping platform or live-floor systems.
