TISHOMINGO, MS – DuraClass now offers the Sidewinder, a solution for spreading material during the winter months. It also operates as a standard dump body in warmer climates.
The patented body sidewall, shaped into a continuous top rail, side, and running board configuration, prevents potential moisture and freeze problems. A front-mounted inverted telescopic hoist with hard chrome-plated sleeves eliminates the need for cylinder housing inside of the body and minimizes cylinder contamination.
