Live Bottom Trailers for Northern Ontario

Move aggregate, asphalt and other bulk materials efficiently with live bottom trailers built for demanding hauling and unloading applications.

GINCOR Werx manufactures live bottom trailers and truck-mounted live bottoms for paving, construction, mining, municipal and other bulk-material hauling operations throughout Northern Ontario.

Controlled Unloading Without Raising the Trailer

Live bottom trailers use a moving conveyor floor to discharge material from the rear of the trailer rather than raising the trailer body.

This provides controlled unloading while keeping the trailer in its normal operating position. It can be particularly useful at jobsites where overhead clearance, unloading conditions or site configuration make conventional end-dump unloading less practical.

For contractors and fleet operators moving material between plants, pits, stockpiles and jobsites, a live bottom provides another option for building the hauling operation around the conditions in which the trailer actually needs to work.

Why Consider a Live Bottom Trailer?

The right unloading system depends on the material, jobsite and operating requirements.


A live bottom may be worth considering when your operation requires:

  • Controlled rear discharge of bulk material
  • Unloading without raising the trailer body
  • Operation where overhead clearance needs to be considered
  • Asphalt and paving-material hauling
  • Aggregate, sand or gravel transportation
  • Repeated loading and unloading between pits, plants, stockpiles and jobsites
  • A trailer configuration matched to specific axle and hauling requirements

The goal is not simply to select a trailer by capacity. Material, route, unloading location and operating conditions should all be considered together.

GINCOR Werx Live Bottom Configurations

GINCOR Werx manufactures live bottom equipment in multiple trailer lengths and axle configurations to support different hauling requirements.

Live Bottom Trailer Applications

GINCOR Werx live bottom trailers can support a wide range of Northern Ontario hauling operations.

PAVING & ASPHALT

Transport and discharge asphalt and other paving materials for road construction, resurfacing and highway projects. GINCOR identifies live bottoms as a core part of its paving equipment lineup.

AGGREGATE & CONSTRUCTION

Move sand, gravel, aggregate and other bulk materials for construction, roadbuilding and site-development applications.

MINING & QUARRY OPERATIONS

Transport aggregate, sand, gravel and other bulk materials between pits, processing areas, stockpiles and work sites. The ability to unload without raising the trailer can also be beneficial where site configuration or overhead clearance needs to be considered.

MUNICIPAL & ROADWORK

Live bottom trailers can be used for controlled unloading of aggregate and other bulk materials used in municipal roadwork, infrastructure and material-handling applications.

Choose the Live Bottom Around the Application

Before selecting a live bottom trailer, consider how and where the equipment will actually be used.

Important requirements can include:

  • Material being hauled
  • Required payload and capacity
  • Trailer length
  • Axle configuration
  • Tractor and overall vehicle configuration
  • Provincial weight and axle requirements
  • Loading method
  • Unloading location and available clearance
  • Paving or material-transfer requirements
  • Frequency and distance of hauling
  • Tarp and load-covering requirements
  • Maintenance and service requirements

GINCOR Werx offers multiple live bottom configurations, so identifying these requirements early helps narrow the equipment options to those suited to the operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

A live bottom trailer uses a conveyor system in the floor of the trailer to move material toward the rear for unloading. Unlike an end dump, the trailer body does not need to be raised during discharge.

Live bottom trailers are commonly suited to bulk materials such as asphalt, aggregate, sand and gravel. The appropriate configuration depends on the material, capacity, operating conditions and unloading requirements. GINCOR specifically promotes its live bottom trailers for asphalt and aggregate hauling.

A major difference is the unloading method. A live bottom discharges material using its conveyor floor rather than raising the trailer body. This can be useful where overhead clearance, unloading conditions or site configuration make conventional dumping less practical.

Yes. Live bottom trailers can be used to transport aggregate, sand, gravel and other bulk materials between pits, processing areas, stockpiles and work sites. Their non-tipping unloading method can also be useful where overhead clearance or site configuration needs to be considered.

Yes. Live bottom trailers are used for asphalt hauling and paving applications, and GINCOR Werx identifies live bottoms as part of its paving equipment lineup.

Yes. GINCOR Werx currently offers multiple steel live bottom trailer lengths and axle configurations, including 30-, 35-, 39-, 45- and 48-foot models. Truck-mounted live bottoms and a microsurfacing configuration are also available.

Yes. GINCOR Werx currently offers 15LBTM and 20LBTM live bottom truck-mount configurations for applications where a truck-mounted system is preferred over a semi-trailer.

The right configuration depends on what you are hauling, required payload, trailer length, axle requirements, tractor setup, operating routes and unloading conditions. GINCOR Werx can help review these requirements and identify a live bottom configuration suited to the application.
