Next Generation Falcon® Live Bottom Trailers

Easily Haul Material with Etnyre Live Bottom Trailers

Move over dump trucks; there’s an easier material transport in town! Since their inception, live bottom trailers have become a popular option for contractors, farmers and businesses looking to haul large loads of raw materials. While dump trucks are still effective for resolving this task, live bottom trailers have unique advantages that the average truck can’t beat. And when it comes to offering high-quality live bottom trailers for any contractor or business, Etnyre has our Falcon® Live Bottom Trailers.

The Advantages of Live Bottom Trailers

For years, dump trucks have been the industry standard for hauling and unloading large amounts of raw materials. However, recent years have shown growing popularity for live bottom trailers, and it’s not hard to imagine why! Live bottom trailers offer numerous unique benefits that other trucks cannot. See our infographic for some of the primary benefits of using live bottom trailers, including:

• No Trailer Rollover – Due to the placement of a truck’s dump box, its center of gravity is much higher than that of a standard truck. Unfortunately, this higher center of gravity increases the risk of potential rollover accidents when unloading. Conversely, live bottom trailers keep their center of gravity low, eliminating the cause of most rollover accidents.
• Empties Clean – When cross-contamination of materials can become problematic, dump trucks don’t provide effective enough unloading. Depending on what your truck carries, its dump box must be thoroughly cleaned between each load. However, live bottom trailers run into no such issue. Live bottoms unload in a smooth, controlled manner, making cleaning much easier.
• Precise Unloading – Dump trucks empty their dump boxes by lifting the back of the truck and allowing its contents to slide out. However, this method for unloading can prove unsafe and imprecise. Live bottom trailers instead unload using conveyor belts to move materials out the back. This allows for greater control of materials being unloaded.
