New Advanced Fabricators Dump Body Parts For Sale

Advanced Fabricators dump body parts are typically selected by body style first, not just by overall body length. A chipper body, landscape dump, trash dump, and low-side contractor dump can all share the same nominal 12 ft, 14 ft, or 16 ft size, but the parts package is very different. Buyers usually need to match deck material, side height, crossmember spacing, longsill size, door configuration, and hoist compatibility before ordering replacement components. On newer builds, common construction details include 3/16-inch decks, smooth plate side walls, channel crossmembers on 12-inch or 16-inch centers, and channel longsills sized to the body’s intended payload and chassis class.

Material choice matters because it affects both repair strategy and payload. Advanced Fabricators bodies are commonly found in steel and aluminum configurations. Steel parts are common on landscape and general-purpose dumps where impact resistance and lower replacement cost are priorities. Aluminum parts are common on chipper and trash bodies where corrosion resistance and lighter tare weight help maximize legal payload. A buyer replacing sections of an aluminum body should verify plate thickness, post layout, roof design, and weld compatibility. On steel bodies, pay close attention to painted versus raw parts, formed panels versus flat plate, and whether the replacement piece needs to match V-stamped sides, sloped walls, or a solid-sheet design.

The most frequently replaced dump body parts in this category include barn doors, bulkheads, cab protectors, side panels, floor sections, crossmembers, longsills, tarp systems, hinges, latches, mud flaps, light kits, and hitch assemblies. Hoist-related parts are another key consideration, especially on electric-over-hydraulic setups such as Venco hoists used on some builds. Buyers should confirm body length, understructure dimensions, mounting requirements, pump and reservoir specifications, and clearances between the hoist, subframe, and chassis. Door dimensions also matter. A 24-inch barn door setup on a landscape body is a very different replacement item than taller rear doors on a trash or chipper configuration.

The best approach is to treat dump body parts as fit-critical components rather than generic accessories. Body width, side height, bulkhead height, roof presence, tailgate or barn door framing, and lighting requirements under FMVSS 108 all affect interchange. If the body will stay in commercial service, look closely at wear points such as hinge pins, latch hardware, tarp rollers, rear sill structure, and the floor area above the hoist pivot. Matching these details up front helps avoid fabrication delays, improper fit, and repeat downtime after installation.
