Safety

Fruehauf has always been at the forefront when it comes to tipper safety, believing that it should be a fundamental part of the design, not just ‘added on’.  This approach has been proven to be cost effective, helping reduce insurance premiums and providing drivers with a safe working environment.
All Fruehauf tippers come fitted with features such as EBS braking and rear ladders as standard.  In addition the easy discharge body is designed to avoid potentially dangerous load ‘hang ups’ while the smoothsider has profiled top rails to encourage loose material to fall into the body and not on the road. And of course when it comes to stability, Fruehauf has always been ahead of the game. Fruehauf was the first to carry out vehicle stability tests to meet the “A” class stability criteria set in the IRTE’s ‘Guide to Tipping Vehicle Stability” way back in 1981 and today is the only manufacturer to achieve this standard across its entire tipper trailer range.
This means Fruehauf tippers have an improved margin of safety for drivers and other workers and this helps avoid the costs associated with roll-overs and makes for reduced insurance premiums.
Because Fruehauf’s tippers are designed to last longer, be more productive and safer than those of its rivals, they are the best investment any tipper operator can make. Like for like a Fruehauf tipper will always sell first and will usually command a premium of at least 20 % over any other marque.
