TBS/TBH Standard & Heavy Duty Bodies

TBS/TBH Bodies

Solid Bodies For Demanding Jobs

Both our TBS and TBH bodies are built to withstand heavy use, so you can haul brush, concrete, or even cars without a second thought. Unrivaled durability means fewer maintenance headaches, less downtime, and more work done.

Dump 40,000 pounds: A hoist that can dump 4x the legal payload

Bodies That Take a Beating: Heavy gauge steel, and a unique design that uses the floor to reinforce the sides

Minimize Human Error: Positive locking mechanism keeps the barn doors shut tight

Petersen’s model TBH trash dump body was designed for heavier operations like sidewalk removal, large stumps, and C&D waste. Heavy duty style body is also mandatory for higher volume bodies.

  • Sizes range from 20-45 cubic yards
  • Three-year structural warranty
  • Achieves a 45-degree dump angle without ground contact
  • To avoid rust, design incorporates no 90-degree angles on lower portion of body sides
  • All body lights are recessed or flush mounted
  • Body hinges are greaseless 3/16″ fabricated plate, three on each side
