Aluminum Landscape bodies from Crysteel offer increased payload, lower maintenance costs

Crysteel Manufacturing's Aluminum Landscape bodies combine the strength and convenience of Crysteel's Landscape Tipper with the lightweight efficiency and durability provided by aluminium construction.

Crysteel's Aluminum Landscape bodies offer up to 13 per cent more payload capacity than comparable steel bodies. They also have lower maintenance costs and greater durability, since aluminium doesn't require painting and won't rust, according to the manufacturer.

“Our new Aluminum Landscape line is a great choice for contractors in the landscaping, refuse/waste and recycling industries who need a reliable body to take on the toughest jobs,” said Joe Paulsen, general manager of Crysteel Manufacturing. “Crysteel Aluminum Landscape bodies are lightweight and corrosion resistant, so they haul more, use less fuel, last longer and cost less to maintain than other landscape bodies. And they look good, too.”

The Crysteel Aluminum Landscape line is available in 9- and 12-ft. (2.7 and 3.6 m) body lengths. Each comes standard with a two-piece barn door in the rear for easy loading and unloading and a 50-in. (127 cm) side door for accessibility. Options include a full cabshield, bolt-on pull-out ladder kit, pull tarp and plastic fenders.

To save customers time and money, Crysteel's Lo-Boy hoist (p/n LB510) is mounted to every Aluminum Landscape body at the factory. The standard Lo-Boy hoist includes a full-length subframe for added strength and a factory-installed body prop for added safety.
