Hey everyone,
I’ve been wondering, what materials are commonly used to manufacture dump trucks? I know the bed and frame need to be tough, but are there differences in materials depending on the type of truck or what it's hauling?
For example, do some use aluminum instead of steel for weight savings? What about special coatings or reinforcements for handling heavy-duty loads?
Would love to hear from anyone with experience in the industry. What are the pros and cons of different materials in real-world use?
