This week, we’re featuring a unique dump truck conversion by Warren Truck & Trailer, where a tandem axle Volvo tractor was transformed into a fully functional dump truck in our Birmingham, AL, facility. This unit showcases our MSFL Series frame-type dump body, equipped with an optional tarp system, sturdy wood boards, and insulation, all complemented by polished aluminum panels for enhanced durability and style.
At Warren, we receive many requests to convert tractors into dump trucks, a practical choice for owners of older tractors who want to extend the utility of their vehicles. Most older tractors have single frames, and for these, we recommend using a frame-type dump body, as it provides the ideal balance of support and performance. However, if you have a double-frame tractor, we suggest a frameless dump body made with AR-450 high tensile strength steel for maximum resilience in heavy-duty applications.
Tractor To Dump Truck Conversion
The process of a dump truck conversion starts with key details like the CT/CA measurement (cab-to-tandem for tandem axles or cab-to-center for single axles), which allows us to customize the setup for optimal fit and performance. Often, tractors come equipped with wet kits, and when possible, we repurpose these existing PTOs and pumps, especially if previously used for dump trailers. This reuse can save on costs while ensuring efficient functionality for the converted dump body.
With four Warren-owned installation facilities and an extensive dealer network nationwide, customers can easily access our services to convert tractors into dump trucks. For expert assistance on your dump truck conversion needs, Warren is here to provide dependable, cost-effective solutions, ensuring your vehicle is ready for heavy-duty tasks with a custom-designed dump body that meets your requirements.
