The company i pull for bought a Ravens frameless spread axle,40'x 102"x60".NICE is all that i can say. It is not new but has a bed that looks it.previous owner pulled non-abrasive material it seems.Anyway,we haul scrap metal and truly need to install a liner but can't locate one.
Who sells liners around Georgia or close by? How far up the sides does the liner need to go? any and all info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks-

Shame to have to use a nice aluminum wagon on hauling scrap, they take a beating. Can't help with finding a liner, but the whole inside will get roughed up hauling scrap.
-
yes no doubt.won't always be hauling the rough stuff but will at times.i've been conversing w/the guys that load and they do load the aluminum trls easier,as in not throwing it into/onto the bed.i get loaded by a magnet crane often and they are super easy when placing the material into the wagon.it seems to me that the beds suffer more during rough loadings than when the load slides out.
i am working on my third month of pulling end dumps so i still have a looong way to go before i can truly make assertions regarding end dumps.i love it so far! -
i can't really says a beating from scrap.
the damage i've seen from my end dump experience. is them big boulders that literally get dropped in. and big chunks of concrete.
only scrap we hauled is building demolition. which didn't happen often. and was usually loaded with a trackhoe. nice and easy.
but i guess if you haul scrap on a daily basis. -
I appreciate the replies and would really appreciate some info on liners.I know there are plastic ones and steel ones,or at least have been told that.ANY INFO whatsoever will be greatly appreciated.thanks-

Try calling any local trailer dealers near you? Finding one near you may be a stretch, may need to just order one in...
There's not much to them. Of all the liners I've seen, they only go up maybe 12-16" up the sides and there's a like a railing piece that runs the length of it, that you weld to the sides that will hold the liner in place... Here's a couple links for more info

Here's a link to what is probably the best liner in the industry:
http://www.quadrantplastics.com/na-...tandard-175-f/quicksilver-R-truck-liners.html
They are NOT cheap. About $5000 for a 30' trailer, installed.
I had a 3/8 "rock" liner put in my 26' rust-bucket. It cost $2000, and may last another year or two.
I'll probably suck it up and buy the Quicksilver next time.
Even my cheap liner (if you can call $2k cheap) makes a huge difference in dumping. I never have to raise my trailer all the way up. That will help prevent turning over.
At only a 10-15 degree tilt, you can't stand up on it. It's really slick.x#1 Thanks this. -
I will say that the Quick Silver is the way to go, have many load's hauled and little wear show's on the this liner
x#1 Thanks this. -
I regularly haul scrap metal to the SIMS facility in Mobile to sell scrap metal. My dump truck liner is way beyond its prime now. It has seen enough wear and tear and I think Ill have to go in for a new one pretty soon! I see a lot of options here, guess Ill try one of them. Thanks!
