Products - All Purpose Body 2

 
 
  The industry’s first true All Purpose Body, the APB 2 utilizes a unique removable conveyor system which minimizes switch over time from dump body to spreader body. The APB 2 also features a simple to operate coal chute style metering gate to regulate the material flow to a quick detachable spinner mounted to the conveyor rather than the truck frame.
 
The APB 2 is a cross memberless body with 13” stainless steel rear corner posts. The floor in the APB 2 is made of 3/16” High Strength Low Alloy steel and the body longitudinals are manufactured of 3/16” Corten steel. The APB 2 is a rear spread only unit with a single acting tailgate, but with the optional “barn door” style hinge the tailgate can be moved off to the side to enable the hauling of brush or other large objects. The APB 2 also features a 3/16” High Strength Low Alloy removable conveyor cover that quickly converts your spreader body to a conventional dump body in minutes. The conveyor system uses a 6:1 spur gearbox on a 2” drive shaft with 8 tooth sprockets to move the 22” wide conveyor chain. A 21,000 pound tensile strength pintle type conveyor chain and 3/8” x 1-1/2” x 18-3/4” crossbars on 4-1/2” centers is standard equipment on all APB 2s.
 
The APB 2 features a hoist system that includes a cylinder with a 2-year warranty, and the cylinder tubes are manufactured of steel incorporating a nitriding metallurgical process that increases wear resistance, is corrosion resistant, and is harder than chrome plating. A simple U-Cup seal design does not require packing in the event of seal replacement. The trunion mount of the cylinder eliminates the necessity for a doghouse, and a unique oscillating collar feature prevents side loading of the cylinder in case of body sway, while extending the cylinder on an uneven surface. The APB 2 spinner assembly consists of an 18” polyurethane disc with 6 vanes formed into a single unit. The spinner frame is adjustable from side to side to allow for variable spread patterns.
