The Fruehauf Halfpipe is built for strength and toughness, making it the ideal choice for transporting heavy-duty materials like stone aggregate, crushed concrete, hardcore, granite, sand, and gravel.
Specifically designed for quarry extraction and heavy aggregate work, the Halfpipe delivers durability and reliability for the most demanding applications. With trailer body volumes ranging from 40yd3 to 45yd3, it offers excellent load capacity while maintaining a robust structure to handle abrasive materials.
Engineered with efficiency in mind, the Fruehauf Halfpipe’s unique half-circle body shape enhances the trailer’s tipping performance, allowing for smoother material flow during unloading. This design minimises the risk of material sticking to the trailer walls, ensuring faster and cleaner discharge, which is crucial for operators working in fast-paced environments such as quarries or construction sites.
To cater to a wide range of operational needs, Fruehauf offers several build options for the Halfpipe. Customers can select from various tailgates, including standard tailgates, one side door, or two barn doors combinations.
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.
Our production process is 80% automated, ensuring precision, consistency, and efficiency in every trailer we build.
