Half-round Dump Box

I have been wanting to try and build one of these for a while but hadn't really found the time so when a customer asked if I would be interesting in doing one I was excited. I put the order on the to do list and it's time has come up.

This will be going on an extended chassis with a drop axle.

Here's what I have so far...

I put in a false floor so that the screwdrive is hidden a little more. I didn't just want to leave a hump in the middle of the box floor so double walling the bottom was the only option.

Re: Half-round Dump Box

Hmmmm I Love it! looks awesome!!

Re: Half-round Dump Box

Sweet work Reg! I love the half round tubs. Yours looks great.

Re: Half-round Dump Box

Thanks a lot guys. I think something similar to this will go on my "options" list. I don't believe anyone else is offering this type of box but I could be wrong?

Re: Half-round Dump Box

That gives me a inspiration as was contemplating the build of a Half Pipe frameless dump trailer. I just ordered a really nice ScaleArt Multi-stage ram that would work perfectly for a build like that!!

Re: Half-round Dump Box

nice!!! i may have to add a dump to my fleet one day soon.your dump bodies are looking real good there reg and i see how happy mario is with his dump body:D

Re: Half-round Dump Box

That's the only body style that I use on my 1:1 Mack! I don't like sqaure box's anymore.

Look great so far Reg!
Cheers, Neil.

Do you feel that the tub is more top heavy than the square box... I remember pulling a rock box and man was it up a lot higher than the hilbilt I had been pulling...

Reg...this is the first tub I have seen...looking good so far...how long will it scale out to be?

Re: Half-round Dump Box

No it's not bad , some operators can't seem to put enough on.
I haul a lot of demolition, so I like not having corners to hang up on.
High lift tailgate is super too!
Cheers, Neil.

Thanks Neil. I'm starting to notice more of this type around here on the 1:1 stuff. Seems like most of them are like my original design or else have rounded bottoms with straight sides though.

Re: Half-round Dump Box

Hey Reg, yes you have an elliptical style bed, https://picasaweb.google.com/1086024...ndersonMagnum#
Half round is closer to what I have, http://www.dragonproductsltd.com/tra...nd%20dump.html
Cheer's, Neil.

Re: Half-round Dump Box

Those are great links Neil. I may try one of those beds the next time I make something for "stock".

I welded up the ladder this afternoon... I cheated and used mild steel.:cop: Soooo much easier! I have made ladders out of aluminum welding rod before...that's why I made a special trip to buy 1/8 steel!lol
