Lightweight, high‑strength aluminum for heavy‑duty haulage

Novelis supplies advanced aluminum plate solutions that boost payload, durability and efficiency across commercial haulage. TipperLite® delivers abrasion resistance, bending capacity and weldability for aluminum tipper bodies and dump trailers, while ALUSTAR® (AA5059) enables lighter, safer bulk tank and silo trucks with high strength and corrosion resistance.

Applications Overview

Tipper trucks
& dump trailers

Side dump and end dump bodies, quarry/aggregate and construction haulage.

Bulk silo trucks

High strength shells and cones for dry bulk (food/feed/industrial) targeting weight savings with robust yield/elongation.

Tank trucks

Novelis offers solutions supporting thinner wall designs with equal or higher safety margins compared to conventional 5xxx alloys.

Key Benefits

Higher payload, lower total cost of ownership
Lightweight aluminum bodies and tanks help fleets carry more with each trip and cut energy use per ton moved, supporting productivity and cost efficiency across quarry, construction and bulk transport routes.

Durability for harsh service
Engineered surface toughness and corrosion resistance deliver long life in abrasive, wet and chemically demanding environments, reducing unscheduled downtime and extending maintenance intervals.

Proven manufacturability
Novelis transport solutions are designed for efficient bending/forming and conventional welding processes, enabling fast build times, consistent quality and straightforward repair in the field.

 

Design flexibility
Wide dimensional ranges and processing options support both drop‑in replacements and new designs – whether you’re optimizing tipper bodies, dump trailers, silo shells or tank sections.

Global footprint, local support
Backed by Novelis’ manufacturing network and application engineering, we offer value‑added services (e.g., contour sawing, pre‑cutting/machining) and dependable supply tailored to transportation needs.

Compliance‑ready configurations
Solutions can be engineered to meet relevant transport regulations and standards (e.g., PED for dry bulk, ADR/EN norms for dangerous goods) with documentation available per project.
