Rugby Manufacturing recently added a new aluminum dump body to its line of Class 3-5 truck bodies, featuring lightweight fold-down sides that provide versatile and easy access to the body.

The unit’s aluminum construction provides the strength of a work truck in an attractive dump body. Aluminum weighs over 30 percent less than traditional carbon steel, decreasing fuel expenses and increasing payload.

The hardened aluminum alloy material provides long-lasting durability and eliminates the need for paint. The Rugby aluminum fold-down side body features a stainless steel EZ-LATCH upper tailgate mechanism and is available with a crossmember-less understructure. Aluminum fold-down sides and tailgates are also available as options on standard Rugby steel bodies. Rugby backs each of its dump bodies with a three-year warranty.
