The NST offers fleets up to one half-ton additional payload compared to a standard aluminum dump trailer and uses aluminum alloys for flooring and side material for improved durability.
East incorporates lightweight and longer-lasting components into the narrow spec dump, including its smooth-sided Genesis sidewalls. The 2-inch-thick, double-wall extruded aluminum panels are robotically welded together vertically inside and out for longer life and improved durability. The ¼-inch-thick rear corner posts on the trailer wrap completely around the top and bottom rails and inter-lock for add strength and to reduce side-to-side distortion.
The NST is also available with:
Standard lift axle system or automatic lift axle system, developed for varying load operations.
Coal/Grain Doors in 12- and 20-inch widths.
Zero-Maintenance Damping Suspension air springs designed to replace the function of a standard shock absorber.
Two-Speed Jost Alumilight AX150 with a 10-year warranty.
