See the Difference

The steel dump body on the left is only 6 years old and is completely rusted out, good for scrap. The aluminum dump body on the right is 11 years old, still looks like new and is ready for another 15+ years of service.

Side-by-Side Comparison

	Aluminum	Steel
Weight	Weighs Less = More Savings 25% Higher Legal Payload	Weighs More Low Legal Payload
Cost	Slightly higher initial cost is quickly offset by lower fleet life-cycle costs due to low maintenance and longevity	Small savings on initial purchase are quickly lost due to higher fleet life-cycle cost due to high maintenance costs and short lifespan
Appearance	Will Not Rust Does Not Require Painting Professional Appearance for Years	Rusts in a Short Period of Time Requires Regular Painting Very Poor Appearance after 5 years
Longevity	Lasts for 20+ Years Outlast a Steel Body 4:1	Short life span, max 8 years Needs to be Replaced Frequently Not Worth Changing Over
Resale Value	Lower Depreciation Factor High Resale Value	Higher Depreciation Factor Minimal Value After 5 Years
Environment	100% Recyclable Aluminum is one of the few metals that can be endlessly recycled	Less Environmentally Friendly
