Benson International is introducing two new trailer models – an aluminum drop deck and a frameless dump trailer. The new 524-Model aluminum drop deck features a front deck frame, transition and mainframe inner cross members that offer superior strength and weight savings from the previous design, according to Benson. It offers a 10-foot front deck, with trailer lengths running from 48 to 53 inches, five-year materials and workmanship warranty, plus a Hendrickson HLS axle package, which also comes with a five-year axle end warranty and extended service brakes.

The company’s new “Ironman” frameless dump trailer is designed to allow carriers to better serve the scrap metal and demolition markets with a high-cube frameless dump design. This model comes with spring plates in floor to lessen impact forces during loading, fully welded construction for strength and longevity, and a squared front to give it more cube capacity, said Benson.

Benson International is a manufacturer of Class 6, 7, & 8 specialty trailers. For more information, call 877-489-9020 or go to www.bensonintl.com.
