MACKS Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Anybody have a Brandon dump body? looking at them but not sure how heavy (thickness of 450 brinell steel to go with) They offer a fha body with 3/16 floor and 5/32 sides and a fhd body with1/4 inch floor and 3/16 sides, I haul mostly dirt and asphalt but occasionally concert and broken asphalt.The difference in price is. Couple thousand+. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50349-brandon-dump-body/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Don't know the weight difference, but I would go with the heavier body, you won't regret it. The thicker body will stay straighter for alot longer. terry Edited July 1, 2017 by terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50349-brandon-dump-body/#findComment-373920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 agreed. think of the biebeau and beauroc dump bodies from canada. the bibeau will dent very easy. the beauroc will not.

polracer01 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Got 4 of them 1/4" floor 3/16" sides won't buy any other box hold up extremely well. Hauled cement rubble for the past 3 yrs hardly a dent. They are heavy we generally weigh in at 26k to 27k with 16ft box on our rd's 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50349-brandon-dump-body/#findComment-373963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 same here we use heavy steel bodies without liners.and it takes a very large piece of concrete to even put a small mark in the steel.

Bill Ran Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I put a Bibeau BMT on my 87 in 2004 and there are no dents in sides and none in floor. The top layer of the floor is getting thin about the last 3 foot of it. I work as a for hire truck and haul everything from concrete slabs and foundations, broken asphalt, ledge, and processed materials. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50349-brandon-dump-body/#findComment-374519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
