Rugby Manufacturing www.rugbymfg.com has introduced a new aluminum dump body to its line of class 3-5 truck bodies. The aluminum construction is said to provide work-truck strength while saving weight — aluminum weighs over 30% less than traditional carbon steel, decreasing fuel expenses and increasing payload.

The hardened aluminum alloy material provides durability and eliminates the need for paint.  Like other Rugby dump bodies, it features the stainless-steel EZ-Latch upper tailgate mechanism. 

Rugby, a brand of Truck Bodies & Equipment International, says its dump bodies have a three-year warranty.
