Haul truck bodies
Optimize Your Haul Truck Bodies
Haul truck bodies experience extreme wear due to harsh operating conditions. Stancor Special Steel provides tailored wear plates that ensure durability and longevity.
The wear problem
Haul truck bodies commonly suffer from sliding abrasion and impact wear, leading to thinning and structural failure. The areas most vulnerable to wear are typically the bottom and side walls, where constant friction and heavy loading occur.
Recommended plate by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side Plates | Stanhard 450 (450 HBW) | 10-20 mm | Provides exceptional resistance to sliding abrasion, offering a longer service life. |
| Floor Liners | Stanhard 500 (500 HBW) | 12-25 mm | Extended life under heavy loads, reducing maintenance intervals. |
| Corner Guards | Stanhard 550 (550 HBW) | 8-15 mm | Improved impact resistance to protect vulnerable corners from gouging damage. |
| End Plates | Stanhard 475 (475 HBW) | 10-20 mm | Enhances durability in high-wear zones, decreasing frequency of replacements. |
| Wear Strips | Stanhard 360 (360 HBW) | 6-12 mm | Cost-effective solution for lower-impact areas, minimizing wear-related costs. |
