Duratray Body Benefits

Noise and Shock Reduction

For me, this Duratray Body is the best mining invention - Personally wish all trucks carried Duratray Bodies! They absorb the shock of the loading impact, not me - nor the truck. ... I do not want a steel box no more!

  1. 63dB is related to internal noise generated by excavator machinery. No measurable noise registered from impact of load on rubber floor.
  2. Noise generated by bucket trap door closing.

Where operator health and safety is a concern, or in operations where environmental noise pollution is expected to be an issue, the use of SDBs should be evaluated.
