About this file
This is a specifications document for a 10-12 yard heavy duty construction dump body issued by MaineDOT (Maine Department of Transportation) Fleet Services. The specification details the complete construction requirements for a dump truck body with a 13-foot length and approximately 132-inch California dimension. The body must feature unibody construction with a 10-yard water level capacity, designed for extreme service conditions with AR400 steel longitudinals and bracing, a one-piece 1/4-inch AR400 steel floor, and a 54-inch high headwall. The dump body must include a single piston front telescopic Class 80 NTEA-rated hoist with a minimum 50-degree dump angle, driver-controlled air-operated tailgate, and permanently attached body support for servicing. Additional required components include a grab handle on the driver side, a braced ladder on the right side with steps, mud flaps, and hardwood sideboards measuring 8 inches by 2 inches.
The specification requires all steel surfaces to meet SSPC #6 Commercial Blast standards with a two-part epoxy primer (6-8 mils dry film thickness) and 3.5 Imron Aluminum finish coat. All wiring must be protected by loom or conduit with soldered connections and heat shrink wrap. The vendor must supply and install LED marker and clearance lights and accommodate two stainless steel aerodynamic triple light housings to be welded to the rear posts, with provisions for Whelen strobe/halogen flashers and backup lamps to be installed by Fleet Services. The body hydraulics and controls must be compatible with systems currently in use by Fleet Services/MaineDOT, and the vendor must provide parts and repair manuals. No pricing, award date, response deadline, or contract term information is provided in this specifications document.
