Buyers BTL030B656 – 2.5 Inch Wide Drop Forged Lower Dump Hinge Assembly For 1.25 Inch Diameter Post
The Buyers Products BTL030B656 Drop Forged Lower Dump Hinge Assembly is engineered for maximum strength and long-lasting performance in the most demanding dump body applications. Built with durability and ease of installation in mind, this hinge assembly welds directly to your dump body or tailgate to securely latch the lower portion of the gate when in the closed position, providing reliable tailgate retention and safety during hauling and dumping operations.
This hinge assembly is drop forged from high-quality C1045 steel, offering significantly greater tensile strength, impact resistance, and ductility compared to traditional cast components. The drop forging process realigns the internal grain structure of the metal, resulting in a denser and tougher part that’s ideal for heavy-duty use where performance under load is critical.
A thicker rib design enhances the overall robustness of the assembly, ensuring that it can withstand frequent use, vibration, and harsh working conditions such as off-road or construction environments. Whether you’re transporting gravel, soil, scrap, or other heavy materials, you can count on this hinge to keep your tailgate firmly locked and aligned.
The C1020 steel base is chosen specifically to simplify welding during installation, providing a clean and reliable bond to the dump body frame or tailgate surface. This design consideration saves time during the mounting process while ensuring a secure, long-lasting attachment that won’t loosen or fatigue under stress.
Ideal for use in municipal, construction, agricultural, and commercial hauling applications, the Buyers Products BTL030B656 is part of a proven lineup of dump body hardware trusted by industry professionals across North America.
