DSH Dump Bodies Elliptical   Aluminum  Back

J-CRAFT's  DSH line of dump bodies are constructed of only the finest high strength steels available...boasting Tensiles up to 235,000 psi, yields up to 190,000 psi, and Brinell Hardnesses up to 500 BHN.  These bodies are designed to be dent free, with superior strength construction and, best of all, hard-wearing when it comes to hauling the "rough-stuff".  Built for the multipurpose application, you can easily haul products from demolition, to sand, to hotmixes, without giving in to a heavy body, or sacrificing ruggedness.  Don't sacrifice hard-earned dollars on some other "would-be" dump body.  Go for the one destined to set the hauling industry standards....go for the best....DSH !

Aluminum Dump Bodies

Aluminum

Back
 
J-CRAFT produces all-aluminum dump bodies for all sizes of trucks, in both the Conventional "Square" type body, as well as the "Elliptical" version.  These bodies have the same style characteristics as their steel counterparts,  but feature some unique standards that are only available in Aluminum.  These bodies are typically constructed with .190 5052-H32 fronts & sides, .250 -or- .375 6061-T6 tailgates, and .250 -or- .375 5086 alloy floors. 

J-CRAFT's aluminum body includes the unique, specially extruded tubing top rails and (optional) extruded walk/tarp rails.  These two extrusions match for styling, and add ruggedness to the body that is not available with standard tube & flat extrusions.  Our exclusive Huck-Bolted I-BEAM longsills give you unmatched strength in our crossmemberless understructure.  

J-CRAFT's elliptical body is especially designed for the ability to line the interior cavity with Heat-Resistant Plastic sheeting for the Asphalt Industry.  This poly material will extend the life of your body 4:1, and also aid in the immediate release of asphalt products.  Each body is wire-feed welded, utilizing our 20+ years of experience in aluminum construction, to give you the best appearing, best durability, and the best styling available in the industry.
