Dec.
31, 2011 – Towmaster is improving efficiency and safety by installing a
high-performance 12-volt vibration unit on virtually all of its dump bodies.
Located at the centre front on the underside of the body, the powerful vibrator
helps quickly release sticky materials, avoiding the need to raise the body to
its steepest angle, or to do sudden start/stops to release stubborn loads.

Also, with easier dumping, workers avoid the risks involved in cleaning out the
bed with a shovel or other tools.
“We’ve
been using Cougar vibrators since we first started building dump bodies,”
commented truck equipment sales manager Tim Erickson. “Customers have been very
pleased with their performance. Without the vibration, their jobs would be a
nightmare.”
