Key Technical Features

  • Air Suspension: Provides a smoother ride, protects the chassis from stress fractures, and allows for easier load leveling on difficult sites.
  • Tipping Stability: Side-dumping geometry reduces the risk of rollovers on soft or unlevel surfaces.
  • High-Tensile Steel Bins: Designed to resist "sticking" and withstand abrasive materials load after load.
  • Braking System: Dual-line pneumatic brake system for maximum stopping power under full load.

Features Checklist

  • Air Suspension: Superior vibration damping and axle protection.
  • Heavy-Duty Bin Liners: Maintained for smooth material discharge.
  • Reinforced Chassis: Ladder-type construction for maximum torsional rigidity.
  • Standard 5th Wheel Height: Compatible with all standard 6x4 truck-tractors.
  • Safety Equipment: Includes standard fire extinguisher boxes and safety markings.
  • Easy Parts Sourcing: Both Afrit and Top Trailer have extensive support networks across South Africa for affordable spares.
