WESTECH® BODIES

The WESTECH® range of dump bodies delivers reliability, durability, and efficiency. WESTECH® dump truck bodies are designed to lower operating costs and maximise fleet capabilities.

Westech dump truck bodies are available in three distinct body types—hard rock, coal, and coal/overburden combo. A variety of wear packages are available to suit specific mining and construction applications.

Why Choose Westech

  • Special-grade steel bolsters, ribs, and structural components for increased durability
  • Optimised welding for improved structural integrity
  • Maximised payload potential to suit gross vehicle weight for the lowest cost per tonne
  • Highly refined design proven to reduce hang up
  • Superior load stability and operator comfort for improved safety

    WESTECH® FLOW CONTROL BODY®

    The WESTECH® Flow Control Body® has a revolutionary floor design that controls the flow of materials during the dumping cycle, keeping the load’s centre of gravity in front of the rear axle longer.

    This unique design reduces a surge of materials from the truck body and eliminates lift at the front of the truck, increasing stability and safety.

    Why Choose a Flow Control Truck Body:

    • Reduces dust generated during the dumping process
    • Extends body life by causing less friction on the floor
    • Enhances lift cylinder life by keeping them in compression
    • Improves crusher life and efficiency

    The WESTECH® Flow Control Body® is available for all truck brands and models in coal, coal/overburden combo designs.

    ULTIMA®

    The fully customisable Austin ULTIMA® dump truck body weighs less and is stronger than current OEM bodies which translates to a 10-15% weight saving without sacrificing payload. For worksites that demand an exceptional solution to machinery weight issues, look no further than the ULTIMA®.

    • Carries a greater payload
    • Reduction in carry-back
    • Delivers the lowest cost per tonne in the world market
    • “V” profile floor channel the load to the centre of the tray
    • Empty is achieved at ¾ tipping
    • Available in both “straight floor” and “flow control combo”
    • Meets all OEM Specifications

    JEC™ BODIES

    The JEC™ body is a lighter-weight modular design that improves payload and reduces overall operating costs.

    The truck bodies feature an easy-to-remove replaceable floor, eliminating the need for heavy-wear liner plates. This saving in overall body weight improves the carrying capacity and increases payload potential.

    Why Choose JEC

    • Lighter weight modular design
    • A replaceable canopy plate
    • A skeleton frame to last for the life of the truck
    • Curved internal transitions to reduce hang-up
    • Customised floor and sidewall thickness to suit the loading tool
    • Compliance with OEM specifications

    JEC™-LD

    The JEC™-LD truck body is a high-performance dump truck body designed to increase productivity and reduce hang-ups.

    The body design is fully customisable to suit any mine-specific application and fatigue requirement and is available in both ‘straight floor’ and ‘combo gate-free’ designs to cater for fixed or varying specific gravity (SG).

    Other features include:

    • Optimised body structure for real-world loading conditions
    • A true 10–15% weight saving over standard conventional dump truck bodies
    • Increased fatigue resistance over conventional dump truck bodies
    • Tapered sides over the full length of the body resulting in less damage from loading equipment
    • Impact resistant plates
    • Large radius transitions assisting in the reduction of material carryback
    • Compatibility with all OEM chassis
