Steel – The important part that carries your loads. Clement uses only certified steel, to Clement’s fussy spec’s. Supporting documents accompany each load. Not cheap off spec end-runs. All premium steel. We know just how our steel will form & weld to match our strict engineering standards.

Paint – We all know how hard it is to keep paint on steel. Well, Clement attacked this problem with a vengeance. Today your trailer goes through a grueling 6 step prep & paint process. Clement does all it can to deliver a 5-year paint job.

Cylinders – With Clement’s inverted outboard mounted cylinder option, there’s no doghouse. Material flows freely. Packing life is greatly extended because dirt & debris can’t lie on the packing glands & work into your hydraulic system. Your standard cylinder is theexpensive custom hoist, with adjustable packings.
Not a cheap, hope it doesn’t leak, cylinder. You get the dependability you deserve.

Clement frameless dump trailers are the most stable. Look at the facts.

Stability – A solid base. You get a wide base on the ground, 102″ wide axles, and all 8 tires on the ground through 80% of dump cycle. 36,000 lb. and 50,000 lb. suspensions. Strong outboard draft arms helps hold the body at the center from swaying. The only thing holding the body on a frame type trailer is the hinge pin, and that’s really far away from the action at the front of the box!!!

“Bathtub” body design – The 8″ curved corners at the floor. The beefy front. The full massive boxed main frame with side bolster system; make your Clement’s body torsion sally far more ridged to help prevent too much “body flex”. Plus you get far more payload.

Lower center of gravity – When Clement frameless dump trailers start to rise, the rear of the trailer goes down, lowering the “cg” prox 2 feet lower than frame type trailers. Also the loads slide out of Clement bodies far easier & faster than square or aluminum bodies.

Clement’s world-class engineering, premium components and meticulous attention to the details are just some of the reasons Clement is America’s leading selling dump trailer in the USA.
