HARDOX BODIES GO THE DISTANCE
Our advanced high strength steel is harder and tougher than any other steel. Reduced weight and increased service life means increased payloads, improved fuel economy and less maintenance.
Thanks to the long sheets of high strength steel, truck bodies and trailers built with it comprise fewer parts, further improving strength and reducing weight. Smarter design with our highly ductile steel dramatically reduces the risks of cracking and is quicker and easier to fabricate.
Our industry-leading forming capacity enables single-piece sides and floors that reduce fatigue, improve strength and truly stand the test of time.
“Our harsh East Coast environment is tough on gear and shows no mercy! With Hardox we’ve enjoyed significantly reduced wear on our truck and trailer bodies. Finally a product that withstands the damage of the bigger rocks we cart. We can throw in five tonne rocks with no dents! We cannot endorse Hardox and T&G enough.”
Hardox in my body
If you want a truck body or trailer that’s hard, tough and cost-efficient, it’s a good idea to turn to a licensed Hardox In My Body® manufacturer. It’s your guarantee to get a body that will weigh less, perform better, carry a higher payload and last longer.
UNCOMPROMISING PERFORMANCE
Only with Hardox. We do more with one piece of precision-folded steel than others can do with ten
We form tipper sides and floors from one piece of Hardox 450. Only one weld, from coaming rail to bottom skirt, headboard to tailgate. No seams, no laser welds, no weaknesses. You get reduced tare weight, increased payload and unparalleled service life.
Strenx High Tensile Steel
Strong and reliable from surface to core
All steel has the same specific weight, so the only solution to less weight is to use thinner steel that is stronger. Strenx steel solves the equation with yield strengths of 600–1300 MPa, while still being as welcome in the workshop as regular steel.
With a Strenx chassis weight can be decreased significantly by using thinner plate that is also stronger. Depending on the chassis design, Strenx can reduce the total weight by 30–50%.
A lighter trailer allows for an increased payload so not only can it cart more material, it will weigh less when empty. Increasing payload and reducing fuel consumption is a huge win.
Reduced plate thickness enables a quicker and much cheaper welding process. 10-metre sheets of Strenx combined with our 8.2m forming capability means larger profiled and formed parts requiring fewer welds. With this in mind total production costs can be reduced by 30%.
REACH HIGHER AND FURTHER with strenx
Strenx steel enables increased reach both upwards and outwards. Achieve greater performance without compromising on safety and without making the complete unit too heavy.
High capacity and low weight are important to agriculture and forestry. Low weight minimizes soil compacting on crop fields and ground damage in the forest. Strong and light machinery means less fuel, less wear and less hours worked for the same result.
