Aluminium half-pipe bodies
Once the HARDOX half skip design had established itself on the market, it was soon followed by the demand for a higher load capacity. In response, the construction of aluminium designs was extended and adapted, and the first aluminium half skips were delivered in 2000. Besides its excellent tipping properties, this skip makes it possible to increase the load capacity by more than 1100 kg in comparison with the lightest variant in HARDOX. The skip, which is characterised by its special spring suspension principles (the so-called "membrane effect"), the skip gives way when loaded and counteracts the adherence of critical cargo. Furthermore, the continuous guiding of the skip on the chassis guarantees a low centre and optimal handling qualities.
Our aluminium half skips are available in thicknesses of 6mm and 8mm, from an internal height of 1360mm. This corresponds with a load volume of approx. 21m≥ in relation to the standard length of 7.4m.
Aside from this, you can also draw from a variety of designs, dimensions and optional features, selecting the vehicle concept that's tailored to your needs. Our product range also includes variants with steel inlay shells at the bottom, as well as insulated half skips for asphalt transport.
