Brute Advantage

The Brute is a leak proof live floor system, designed for use in material handling trailers where leaking loads are unacceptable, and unlawful. This system is also designed to accommodate the most severe loads, such as general and demolition waste, as well as the usual commodities used in the live floor industry. Bulk wood and agricultural products, medical waste, etc, are some examples.

The Brute (known also as the 8000) also has a proven success record in the waste industry, noted for being reliable, tough, and long lasting. It is also customer friendly with its simple, straight forward design, that anyone can understand.

Trailers can accommodate the Brute leak proof system with a few moderate modifications. With only the addition of two support arms that extend out the trailer front 16" and attach to the king pin plate support area, and a front opening that is 28" wide and 7" tall, the rest of the trailer can remain as originally manufactured.
