Reply:There was once a heavy truck body builder in town who offered a "shot rock" option for dump beds used in operations where shot rock was hauled.Their option was fabricating a timber liner to cover the floor to take the brunt of big rock falling into the bed. Timbers of up to 10" and 12" were used.The guy operating the loader or excavator filling the dump bed has much to do with how much damage gets inflicted.If you have an operator who thinks its cool have the bucket load high above the bed and dump it all suddenly, the bed will suffer more than if the bucket is tipped somewhat gradually.But, no matter what loading technique is used, eventually folks like admswelding will get a call.
Reply:not looking to put anyone out of work but wouldn't some type of thick rubber mat absorb some of the shock/abrasion of falling rocks and maybe prolong the life of the bed or has this idea been tried and discarded ages ago?i.u.o.e. # 15queens, ny and sunny fla

on't think any rubber mat would survive that abuse very long. But hardfacing is an effective (and somewhat expensive) way to reduce wear.
Reply:Hardfacing would not work on thisAnd sometimes try as you might you can only be so gentle with big rocks...bounced my buds head into the roof of the rock truck several times but those were all a 988B could liftSome were so big i could not lift them and when in reverse the rear was off the ground...Had to put it in forward to put rear back down and take them to the disposal area my selfBacked my CATMA over your CARMA oops clusmy me What would SATAN do ??
