Frequently Asked Questions

What can I load into a Belted Body or trailer?

You can load practically anything into a Belted body that you would normally put into an aluminium tipper body. This includes sand, aggregates, sandstone, soil mixes, mulch mixes, and materials from excavation sites.

Can I build it higher if I cart lighter products?

Absolutely! Our trailers and bodies can be customised to any height you need.
Thanks to our square design, there’s no height restriction, giving you the flexibility to carry lighter products.

How often will the belt seals need replacing?

You won’t have to worry about replacing the belt seals. Our unique belt seal design is built to last, so seals don’t wear out.

Live bottom tailgates often have sealing issues. How is yours different?

We use a standard tailgate that has been trusted on tipper bodies for over 50 years. It doesn’t have rubbers that can wear out, and the belt is fully enclosed to ensure a tight seal, like what you expect from conventional tippers.

How does the tailgate open without rams?

Once the locking jaws are released, the load will push the tailgate open. As the load builds up, a tailgate prop will automatically drop down to hold the door open securely. It’s a simple, reliable mechanism without the need for complex rams or levers.

What truck combinations can I use with your design?

Our design is flexible and can fit into any truck or trailer setup you need, from rigid trucks to B doubles. We tailor the design to fit your specific requirements.

How fast does it unload compared to traditional tippers?

Our live bottom floor trailers unload just as quickly as a traditional tipper truck. You can expect efficient unloading, even while idling.

How do I order a Belted trailer?

Call 1300 4 BELTED or fill out the form. We will talk through your trucks,
materials and the height and configuration you need, arrange a demonstration if you would like to see it work, and organise your quote through Moore Trailers.

Is it more stable than other live bottom trailers?

Yes. A narrow-belt ‘V’ shaped body carries its load higher, which makes it less stable on the road. Belted’s square, wide-belt body keeps the load lower and wider, for more stable handling.

Can I see one working before I commit?

Yes. Request a demo and we’ll arrange one, including on your site.
