Abstract
A semi-end dump trailer body employs hollow rectangular rubrail along each side of the trailer body with crossmembers of U-shaped configuration with outwardly flared sidewalls welded to the inner vertical wall of the rubrails and to inward, relatively short horizontal extensions of the rubrails and to a floor sheet extending across the body between the inward horizontal extensions of the rubrails whereby to strengthen the body increase its acceptable length, height and load carrying capacity without a significant increase in weight and at little increase in cost.
