DuraClass Dump Body Aimed at Contractors and Municipalities

The DuraClass Yardbird is a dump body designed for contractors and municipalities with a double-wall body side for more durability.

The Yardbird features a continuous formed body sidewall and a fully enclosed top rail for better resistance to moisture and corrosion. The Yardbird, like other DuraClass dump bodies, uses high tensile steel and a fully welded construction for high strength and lighter weight.

Full-depth rear corner posts, enclosed front corner posts and an interlaced understructure give the Yardbird high strength and rigidity. Yardbirds also come standard with quick release upper tailgate pins, a cabshield with window and heavy-duty tailgate hardware.
