Genesis™
Smooth Wall
You can't have tomorrow's trailer riding on
yesterday's technology. Others have tried to imitate the patented
Genesis design, only to find no other design is as strong!
For
added versatility, the
hollow-core panels can be
filled with insulation, ideal
for hauling asphalt.
|
 |
Unique
top rail is flush with the
outside, overhanging inside to add
strength and facilitate loading.
Designed specifically for the Genesis
sidewall,
it becomes and integral
part of the wall to help protect
against side bowing. |
The
extruded aluminum
double-wall panels are
2" thick, and supported
by internal ribs every 3".
The panels are continuously
welded
together vertically
to form a strong, highly
stable sidewall. |
Unique
system secures the critical
point for trailer strength the welded
union of cross-members, floor plates
and side walls. Cross-members and
floor plates interlock into the bottom
rub rail, which in turn forms a pocket
to accept the side wall panels, for a
super strong floor-to-wall
attachment joint. |
Smooth
sidewalls can be left polished as they come
from the factory or used as the base for company
names, logos, and attention-grabbing graphics. |
|
The
3" spacing of the interior
ribs gives 8 times more
wall support than external
posts positioned every 25",
so the inside wall remains
flatter, creating fewer high
points that accelerate
body wear. |
The
unique double-wall
construction protects the
outer panels from being
marred by dents and bulges -
an attractive plus for
maintaining trailer appearance
over the years, enhancing
resale value. |
Optional
thicker aluminum in higher wear areas, like
the inside last 4 feet of the trailer. |

Superior
fuel savings
with GENESIS®
Skip
Becker, an owner-operator
in Diamond, Ohio, has carefully
tracked the fuel consumption for
GENESIS and other trailers over
the past year. And these
measurements are not based
on laboratory tests, but on real-world
driving: “Some hill country, some
flat, stop-and-go driving plus
freeway miles, about 400 to
500 miles a day.”
GENESIS® Trailer
Survives Brutal
Punishment
“A
year ago last April, we had a
28-foot GENESIS® triaxle that
ran off the road and into a ditch
at 60 mph and laid right over. When
we got there, no repairs were
needed. We just had a wrecker
set it back up, reloaded it,
and dumped it."

Genesis™
Swinging Tailgate
|
Cross-section
of Genesis™ transfer trailer side wall
|
| Available
on all refuse and dump trailers and dump bodies,
the Genesis tailgate is much lighter than a traditional
sheet-and-post design, yet doesn’t sacrifice
strength or durability. The smooth surface of the
tailgate is easy to clean, and it leaves nowhere
for dirt, mud, snow and ice to build up.
Genesis™ transfer trailers
are now available with an optional air-flow tailgate
to reduce fuel consumption on backhauls The air-flow
gate opens inwardly so the air flows easily through
the trailer for less drag, less fuel consumption,
and easier handling for the driver. The East Genesis
air-flow gate has been specially engineered. The
outer frame consists of aluminum extrusions with
a built-in lip. The inner gate moves easily on
piano hinges and nestles tightly onto the frame
lip when closed. This unitized design provides
a better fit and finish, resulting in a stronger
gate.
The East Genesis dump trailer
tailgate features a lightweight over-slung hinge
that offers more bearing surface for longer hinge
life. The gate is designed to accept a special
rubber seal without the use of adhesives for easy
maintenance and/or replacement. The seal is recessed
to protect it from the elements, allowing it to
do its job for longer periods of time.
East also offers an optional mechanism
that simplifies conversion of the tailgate from
top-swing to side-swing for outboard-style Genesis™
dump trailers. It also makes this switch safer
for the driver, who can accomplish this conversion
from ground level simply by actuating a handle
located at the bottom of the driver’s side
rear post. The apparatus that engages and releases
the top pin is hidden and protected inside the
rear post itself. This new mechanism eliminates
the need for the driver to climb a ladder or otherwise
get to the top of the rear post in order to pull
or insert pins.
