The wear challenge
Tipper bodies and mining trays see impact from loaded material and abrasion on every dump cycle. Hardox 500 Tuf bodies stay in service longer, carry more payload, and need fewer supporting beams.
Dump bodies face sliding wear from aggregate, rock, and scrap combined with impact at the tailgate and floor. SSAB shows that reducing plate thickness from 6 mm to 5 mm Hardox 500 Tuf saves 17% weight while increasing wear life and payload.
Recommended Hardox grades
Grade selection depends on abrasive material, impact, and operating conditions. Claims below are from SSAB published material.
- Hardox 500 Tuf
- Tipper floors, sides, and structural body panels
- Hardox 500
- Tailgate and high-impact zones
- Hardox 450
- Light-duty extensions and wear strips
