[QUOTE="Andrew, post: 6692200, member: 93"] We have 2 muck trailers, built by Gull for Bartlett carrots in about 1995. They have done a lot of miles at Bartletts, and moved an awful lot of cow muck for us. The chassis are in really good nick, and very high spec, but the skips are rotten. I am wondering about making new skips for them, but what do I make them from? Steel, (as they are now, which has lasted 25 years). I have good contacts for aluminium and stainless fabrication as well. A lot of tipper trucks are aluminium, for weight reasons, but I’m looking at it for it’s anti corrosion properties. Alternatively would stainless be better again? They are 14t trailers and once in a while the forklift has hit them with the grab, so they need to be strong I know 25years is a good lifespan, but steel doesn’t seem as good quality now, and due to our system they will sometimes be left half full of cattle slop etc etc. Any recommendations?
