Genesis Trailers from East

East Manufacturing’s new Genesis aluminum dump and transfer trailers are designed for low operating costs and higher resale value.

The smooth sidewalls are made of unique double-wall aluminum extrusions robotically welded together in a patented process. Each two-inch-thick extrusion runs the full height of the sidewall, and has two internal ribs connecting the inner and outer skins. The result, the company says, is superior strength with better resistance against bowing than traditional sheet-and-post construction.

The double-wall configuration also prevents any dings on the interior from showing on the exterior, an attractive plus for maintaining trailer appearance over the years, enhancing resale value. With vertical ribs every three inches, the sidewall has eight times the support provided by external posts positioned every 25 inches, the company says. This means minimal deformation between the ribs. When wear is a major concern, Genesis trailers can be spec’d with thicker inner skins in the rear four feet where most wear occurs.
