J&J Truck Bodies & Trailers, a leading manufacturer of dump bodies and trailers, today announced the completion of a new tipper trailer for a customer in Trinidad, who will use it to haul grain and other similar materials. The high polished aluminum trailer has a capacity of 104 cubic yards, is 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, 13 feet 10 inches high, and features a possum belly style bottom. In addition to top loading the trailer, the operator can also place palletized materials through the large double doors located on each side of the trailer. It was designed and custom built to haul the maximum payload allowed in Trinidad and is the first of three that will be shipped there.

Because of the trailer's height, special permits were required to get the trailer to Baltimore, Maryland, where it was placed on a ship bound for Trinidad. In addition, the driver's routes were carefully selected to allow the trailer to safely pass under bridges and alternate routes were found to avoid tunnels on the way.
