Benson unveils aluminum drop deck, debuts Ironman Frameless Dump

Aug 28, 2007

At the Great American Trucking Show, Benson introduced its redesigned all-aluminum drop deck trailer, which features a newly designed front deck frame, transition and main-frame inner crossmembers that the company says offer superior strength and weight savings from the previous design.

Other features, according to Benson, include:

Load capacity rating of 52,000 pounds in a four-foot span;

10-foot front deck with models ranging from 48 to 53 feet in length;

Available with 22.5 and 19.5 rubber tires;

Five-year materials and workmanship warranty; and

Hendrickson HLS package with a five-year axle end warranty and extended service brakes.

Benson also has expanded its product line to include the Ironman Frameless Dump trailer. This application will allow the company to service the scrap metal and demolition markets with a “high-cube” frameless dump.

Features of the Ironman Frameless, according to the company, include:

High-volume construction offering increased payload;

Lightweight design with AR450 material for ultimate strength;

Spring plates in floor to lessen impact forces of materials loaded;

Fully welded construction for strength and longevity; and

Squared front to offering a higher cube capacity.
