The Anvil’s body is a constant radius half-round shape, which makes it lighter and more dent resistant than an elliptical or flat-bottomed round-side body trailer. It will also center the load more precisely, resulting in reduced off-center loading.
To increase stiffness, reduce sway and increase stability, the entire perimeter of the round body and bulkhead is welded to a thick-wall, boxed structural member. Ranco has also developed fabricated box members for the upper coupler/king pin plate, as well as fabricated the draft arm from thick-walled rectangular tubing which is then trussed with the rectangular tubing set at 45 degrees. This provides maximum torsional stiffness for ultimate stability for all the end dump trailers for sale on the lot.
The inverted trunnion style hydraulic dump cylinder has a lower maintenance and a longer service life than an end pin style cylinder. There are dirt wiper seals on the bottom of each stage to prevent dirt from settling and building up in the cylinder. The combination of an inverted cylinder and dirt seals keep the cylinder cleaner, instead of pushing through the dirt and working it into the cylinder like pin style cylinders do. This results in a longer life and less maintenance.
The cylinder moves away from the body during dumping which results in greater cubic capacity regardless of the length of the body. Unlike pin style cylinders, there is no need for a dog house or any space taker to accommodate cylinder intrusion into the body, which takes away from the trailer’s capacity. This means that the Anvil gains approximately 1 cubic yard of additional capacity by using the inverted trunnion style dump cylinder.
In addition to greater capacity and stability, the inverted trunnion design also provides easier hydraulic cylinder maintenance. The vertical mounting of the cylinder has open top access, readily accessible and easy to remove externally mounted trunnion bearings, and an independent rod end bearing shaft. This means that the cylinder can be easily disconnected and lifted straight out for repair or replacement, and then easily reconnected. This can all be done without affecting any other parts of the trailer.
Round bottom end dump bodies fabricated of AR400 heat treated alloy plates are able to withstand tremendous punishment of impact and abrasion from large, hard and sharp rocks and broken concrete. AR400 steel is strong and tough plus it provides adequate formability and welding capabilities so it can be fabricated directly into a structural body instead of being used as a liner over a lower strength steel body. This results in thinner body steel and thus a lighter body that will easily outlast any conventional steel body—including bodies made out of T-1 high strength heat treated alloy steel.
The thickness of Anvil’s body shell increases at the rear of the body. In all end dump trailers the wear of the body’s shell is more rapid near the rear or dumping end, so increased body thickness in this area of the Anvil extends the life of the trailer’s body.
Four sets of dual tires with suspension equalization spread the load over a large area and reduce the degree of body sway that may occur due to uneven compaction and surface elevation.
There is a vertical, rear body cut off and rear bolster. The vertical body cut off increases the cubic capacity of any given length of the Anvil’s body, and the vertical rear bolster and body cut off allow for interchangeable tailgates. For example, the standard high lift tailgate with its air lift cylinder can be replaced with a conventional top hinged, gravity opened tailgate or a barn door style tailgate, providing several options for each end dump trailer for sale here at Ranco.
The Anvil or Ranco end dump trailer body is designed to dump at a 46° angle with the standard cylinder and up to 51° angle with an optional cylinder. The steep dumping angles ensure that virtually all materials hauled will be dumped out of the dump body.
The Anvil has a very rugged high-lift tailgate and hinge design. The high-lift tailgate reduces the chance of expensive damage that can occur from an occasional large rock bouncing and impacting the gate during the dumping cycle.
