Benefits

Metso Truck Body is 20-30% lighter than a conventional steel-lined truck body.

Higher payload

The Metso Outotec Truck Body is 20-30% lighter than a conventional steel-lined truck body.

This lets you haul more payload per round, improving operational efficiency.

Less maintenance

The rubber lining in Metso Truck Body lasts up to 300% longer than conventional steel lining, drastically reducing the need for maintenance.

Once it's time for maintenance, the elemental composition of the rubber lining means that only the worn parts of the lining need to be replaced.

Thanks to the bolted fixing method, this is done quickly and easily without welding.

The rubber lining in Metso Truck Body lasts up to 6 times longer than conventional steel lining, drastically reducing the need for maintenance.

Metso Truck Body is an investment in the well-being of your staff.

Better working environment

The Metso Outotec Truck Body is an investment in the well-being of your staff.

Thanks to the rubber lining, the Metso Outotec Truck Body is much more comfortable to drive than a conventional steel-lined truck body.

The proven benefits include 50% less perceived noise and 97% less vibrations, which significantly improves the working environment for truck drivers.

No carry-back

Each Metso Outotec Truck Body is engineered with a customized lining solution fit for the operation's specific requirements.

This means that the body is suited for all applications. Metso Outotec's Flexible Lining option can prevent sticky material that builds up in the truck body, also known as carry-back.

With no carry-back, the entire capacity of the truck can be fully utilized to haul payload, which further improves operational efficiency.

Metso Truck Body is engineered with a customized lining solution fit for the specific requirements of the operation.

The lower weight of Metso Truck Body in combination with the increased payload equals a lower fuel consumption per hauled tonne.

Better fuel economy

The lower weight of Metso Outotec Truck Body in combination with the increased payload equals a lower fuel consumption per hauled tonne.

The benefits add up during return rounds when the truck is empty - it simply takes less fuel to move a lighter body.

Features

Maximized wear protection at the lowest possible weight

The elastic rubber in Metso Outoec Truck Body absorbs the energy of every impact during operation, preventing it from reaching the frame and thus allowing for a lighter-than-usual, high structural strength steel frame beneath the rubber. Thanks to this, the body can absorb maximum shock at the lowest possible weight.

Bolted rubber elements require no welding during maintenance

The rubber lining in Metso Outotec Truck Body consists of elements that are bolted in place, utilizing pre-welded studs. Worn elements can be changed individually, and replacing them requires no welding or oxycutting.

Up to 300% longer wear life

High-quality rubber is excellent for damping impact and vibrations and is widely used to reduce stress and strain in different applications. Due to its high elasticity and material characteristics, the energy of an impact is efficiently absorbed into the rubber and spread out as heat.

The rubber lining in the Metso Outotec Truck Body outlasts a conventional steel lining by up to 300%. For best results, the lining in the Metso Outotec Truck Body is always custom-engineered to fit your application. Different thicknesses can be used in different spots, depending on factors such as load angle and drop height.
