East debuts narrow spec dump trailer

East Manufacturing has introduced its new narrow spec dump trailer, the NST, designed for hauling sand and gravel or commodity loads.

East says the NST maximizes payload with lighter weight components while still delivering strength and durability to meet the needs of an application. The narrow spec dump trailer provides up to one-half ton additional payload compared with a standard aluminum dump trailer. It's lighter weight when compared with a standard 96-inch wide dump trailer, depending on the options and features. Like all East frameless dump trailers the narrow spec dump, uses only premium aluminum alloys for flooring and side material for long life and durability.

East incorporates lightweight and longer-lasting components into the narrow spec dump. The East smooth-sided Genesis is an aerodynamic design that is easier to clean and will not show dents from the inside, improving resale value and keeping the trailer looking good, the company says.

Its 2-in. thick, double-wall extruded aluminum panels are robotically welded together vertically inside and out to provide superior strength and resistance to twisting, resulting in long life and durability. This results in the trailers being easier to maintain and repair, delivering maximum return on investment, East says.

The 1/4-in. thick rear corner posts on the trailer wrap completely around top and bottom rails and inter-lock to add strength, reducing side-to-side distortion. And, lighter weight sheet-and-post tailgate 90-degree wall joints are continuously welded rather than stitch welded to maximize strength-to-weight ratio and joint integrity of the tailgate, the company says.

East says the NST is available with options, including:
