East introduces Genesis II for frame type dump trailers
RANDOLPH, OHIO — Smooth bottom Genesis II floor technology
is now available for East frame type dump trailers. The announcement
was made by Charlie Wells, director of dump trailer products for East
Manufacturing.
Genesis II frame dump trailers offer the added advantage
of a totally smooth bottom that improves the trailer’s aerodynamic
performance while simplifying maintenance. The smooth surface
underneath the trailer eliminates exposed cross-members where ice, mud
and snow can build up. It also provides for more efficient air flow,
promoting less drag and lower fuel consumption.
The Genesis II floor is a patented design that is stronger
than the traditional cross-member supported design it replaces. The
floor panel extrusions have internal stiffeners specifically designed
to efficiently support trailer loads. They are also made of a new
aluminum alloy that is stronger and more wear resistant. In addition,
the “hollow” extruded floor panel design provides improved insulation
opportunities to reduce the likelihood of loads freezing in the trailer.
Built into the Genesis II design is additional trailer
protection from the adverse weather conditions. Electrical wiring and
airlines are almost completely enclosed and virtually unexposed to the
elements.
East always thinks about driver safety. The new Genesis II
floor design allows a unitized wall — floor construction, which
improves the torsional stiffness of the trailer. This reduces twisting
during dumping, thus increasing dump stability and driver safety.
East revolutionized trailer performance with the
introduction of Genesis, the first smooth side design to offer the
maximum combination of payload capacity, durability, and operating
savings. East took the Genesis design one step farther by applying
their patented aerodynamic, smooth side technology to the floor of a
frameless dump trailer.
Now, the Genesis II floor technology is also available for frame type dump trailers.
