About Us

Understanding the Core Functionality of Live Bottom Trailers

Live bottom trailers are an alternative to dump trailers. They’re most suitable for hauling massive quantities of small, loose materials like gravel. As such, these trailers include a unique hydraulic design that makes loading and unloading materials easier while controlling how fast you can dump the cargo. 

Live bottom trailer features include an integrated floor or high-quality asphalt conveyor belt within the hopper. This allows you to easily control the pace at which you release materials from the hopper. Unlike dump trucks that tip backward to unload their cargo simultaneously, live bottom trailers offer more unloading control, making them ideal for paving, agricultural, and construction work.

Essential Features of Live Bottom Trailers

Durability is crucial for a live bottom trailer with superior construction. For instance, heavy-duty yet easily maintainable materials like aluminum and stainless steel are common for chassis construction. Abrasive-resistant hopper liners with superior hardness levels increase the equipment’s durability and longevity.

Other features include tar and asphalt reversing belts with four-inch roller chains and a double pinch. These chains have a payload of 70,000 pounds on both sides with a maximum pull strength of 140,000 pounds.

These live bottom trailer features and others like safety indicator lights, bolt-on light housings that conceal and protect wiring assemblies, and solid construction for added stability make these trailers safe for the road and any job site.

The Advantages of Utilizing Live Bottom Trailer

Look no further than live bottom trailers for optimal efficiency when hauling and unloading loose materials. Thanks to heavy-duty conveyor belt flooring and high payload capacities, these trailers have a reliable continuous flow discharge system, perfect for spreading asphalt, sand, and other aggregates within large areas.

Instead of dumping materials in one place and manually transporting smaller quantities to their final destinations, you can do the job easily with a live bottom trailer. You’ll have excellent control over how much cargo you unload at once and the speed at which you do it. Live bottom trailers also don’t have tipping risks like dump trailers — only the floor moves, not the whole hopper, allowing for improved job site safety.

Selecting the Ideal Live Bottom Trailer for Your Needs

Despite the benefits of a live bottom trailer, it is important to purchase the right option for your hauling needs. When exploring trailers, consider factors like size, construction materials, and conveyor belt types to make the most informed decisions. 

For instance, Gincor offers four-inch roller chains, asphalt conveyor belts with reversible direction, and a Hardox™ 450 steel body as standard features. Yet, you can customize your trailer to include everything from secondary gate locks to camera systems to ensure the highest level of control when unloading materials. 

Customization options might seem endless. Still, with help from Royal Truck & Utility Trailer, you can accommodate your hauling requirements and get the right live bottom trailer customizations.
