I thought a dump body made of poly should be much less expensive than a dump body of steel?
Some people perceive poly (plastic) as being cheaper and not as good as steel. This is an incorrect assumption. Go to your local hardware store and price identical wheelbarrows; one with a steel body and one with a poly body. Guess which one costs more? The steel reinforced poly body always costs more. Why? Because it brings MORE VALUE and won’t rust out. Some poly wheel barrow manufacturers are now giving a lifetime warranty on the plastic body; you won’t find that warranty on their steel wheelbarrow bodies! Why is that?! The Dump-Pro poly dump body gives you value and is upwards of 1/4″ thick. Have you ever seen those large industrial rolling trash or material carts that are used in factories and food processing plants? It’s the same type of material. Besides being much lighter in weight than steel (which gives you more payload capacity), it takes a lot of abuse and doesn’t rust, so there is no painting maintenance like on steel dump bodies. The poly body stays slippery and that alon
