GLT truck bodies are designed and built using the same level of detail as all our trailers.
If you are ordering a dog trailer with the truck body, then our engineers will design both bodies to match each other in both overall height and looks. The complete range of body styles are available. See below for options.
Combination is the chassis tipper lead with a 6 axle dog chassis tipper GLT has the ability to build bodies onto all popular brands of trucks. All nuts, bolts and washers are stainless steel. Grain scrapers, shovels, brooms and grain chutes are equipped as standard. Every truck body is professionally detailed before it is delivered to the customer.
Truck body
Detail: | Measurement: |
---|---|
Length: | 14’9″ to 23′ |
Height: | 4′ to 8’6″ |
Capacity: | 13 to 44 cubic metres |
Tare Weight: | 1.3 to 2.1 tonnes |
All GLT aluminium bodies are fabricated from European sourced marine grade aluminium plate. Floor and wall sheet thicknesses can be customised to suit the application.
Straight Body – This standard body type is a strong, cost effective and a light weight option. Choose from two body widths: Narrow – 2,330mm or Wide (standard) – 2,480mm.
Plate – 4mm to 12mm thickness. Choose from either mill finish, mill bright (polished), painted or vinyl.
Standard Lower Curve – The GLT lower curve is an exclusive extrusion. The side sheet and floor sheet slot into the extrusion before they are hand welded into place.
Pressed Sides – GLT can remove the lower curve and press the side sheet to meet the floor sheet. This will reduce the tare weight by around 70kg. It also increases the strength of the tubs making it an ideal option for carrying liquid based goods.
Plank – GLT custom extruded planks. These are ideal for maximum height bodies as they reduce the amount of side wall bulge. This option will increase the trailer tare weight by around 80kg depending on length and height.
Standard Flat Front Sheet – This is our standard front sheet which is 5mm thick with a polished finish. Other thicknesses and finishes are available.
Rounded Front Sheet – This option is ideal for carrying liquid based products. The front sheet is specially rolled before being welded into the place. As liquids move forward when decelerating, the shape of the front sheet reduces the liquid’s impact. We recommend a thickness of 6mm to add stiffness to the front sheet which reduces fatigue.
Each truck body is mounted to our sub frame which is fabricated from a mixture of RHS, 700 grade and 350 grade profiles.
Sub frames are sand blasted and then painted to match your truck chassis colour. Body Rear pivot points are fabricated onto the sub frame and also bolted onto the truck chassis.
Ringfeder assemblies are custom built to suit each truck. Our team fabricate the assembly from 700, 350 and 250 grade steel. Just like the sub frame, all steel parts are sand blasted and painted to match the truck chassis.
By far our most popular option. The tarp rolls up neat and tidy out of the way when loading. When unrolled, the tarp offers a high level of cover to protect your load. Compared to the QLD style tarp, the roll over is easier for the operator to use, reducing OH&S risks. Side drop is 300mm standard and can be increased to 600mm. A full range of colours available. Razor electronic tarp upgrade available on this tarp.
If you want the most water proof tarp option, tick this option. Tarps come standard with 300mm long flaps front and rear which are pull down tight to seal the front and rear of the tub. The side drop is standard at 600mm. This gives you a bit of extra room to roll over the heaped loads while still getting a tight seal along the side of the tub. A full range of colours are available.
These tarps retract forward to allow loading. The rear part of the tarp has a flap end which is pulled down tight to seal the rear of the trailer once loaded. The tarp supports can range from 200mm to 350mm high. Retractable tarps are not waterproof and leaking can occur. A full range of colours are available.
Our standard light spacing interval is 1300-1500mm. If you want more light bling then we can go as close as 300mm between lights. We also offer lights at the top of the side sheets at matching intervals.
Tailgate pivots from the top only.
Tailgate can pivot from either the top of the side. A parrot break and pivot bold is needed to allow the 2 way system to work.
This door style uses container style locks and stainless steel hinges. The doors can be fixed open with latches.
Our most popular type of hinge. This hinge sits outside of the body.
This hinge allows for the rear door to close flush. Some people say that this hinge type is pretty good looking, too.
The rear of the tailgate has the internal support posts exposed. This style door is our lightest door.
This style gives the door a clean finish. There is a weight penalty of around 50-80kgs. The inside of the door is still a flush finish just like the standard tailgate.
The fingers and assembly are fabricated from stainless steel. You can choose from either manually operated or air-operated. Air-operated 4-finger locks have a single air ram, which provides locking force.
The fingers and assembly are fabricated from stainless steel. You can choose from either manually operated or air-operated. Air operated 7 finger locks are 2 air rams which provides the locking force.
Select from either single or double manual grain locks. Our grain lock handles are fabricated from stainless steel. The wear pads are mounted to the tailgate and made from stainless steel.
We offer 2 different types of air grain locks. The upright and the horizontal verison. Both options give exceptional sealing pressure. Air grain locks are syncronised with the air finger locks - all off the one push/pull switch.
Recommend for operators wanting to cart products such as hides. These locks are manually operated and provide excellent sealing pressure. The door plug seals the grain door water tight.
This option is suited to tailgates where clearance with the ground or other trailers is an issue. We can do a single or a double split. The split is controlled by a single or twin air ram.
A popular option. The vinyl is applied in 1400mm wide drops with a slight overlap. Each drop can be replaced if they get damaged, making it less expensive to maintain compared to paint. Select from a large range of colour options.
Dress up your radius guards with chrome dress strips. These look great and finish off the guard area nicely.
This special lining will give the floor sheet extra protection as well as provide a slick surface to reduce friction. This style of lining will increase the chances of contamination if you are hauling different loads.
Choose from either aluminium or steel. We have a range of thicknesses to suit your needs. Wear plate can be added to the floor or walls.
Are you needing to protect your side sheets from abrasive loads? Rock sheeting will extend the life of your trailer. We use 4mm pressed plate and can be added to the sides, front sheet and door.
