The Fruehauf Bathtub is engineered for exceptional strength, making it one of the toughest and most durable models in our tipping trailer range. Specifically designed to withstand the rigours of demanding work environments, its resilient, ribbed body construction is built to handle the heaviest loads with ease.
Known for its strength and endurance, the Fruehauf Bathtub is the go-to choice for industries such as agriculture, aggregate, construction, and waste management. It is engineered to transport a variety of materials with efficiency, including grain, farm produce, aggregate, wet products, and rendering materials. The ribbed body structure not only enhances the trailer’s strength but also improves impact resistance, ensuring longevity even in the harshest working conditions.
With a focus on robust design and dependable performance, we ensure that each unit is engineered to suit the specific demands of your industry.
Fruehauf trailers are designed with weight efficiency in mind, providing the strength and durability required without unnecessary bulk.
