Customised designs engineered to outlast, outperform, and elevate your operations.

Innovative Solutions, Proven Performance.

As the leading designer and manufacturer of dump bodies, Duratray delivers cutting-edge technology for mining applications.

The Suspended Dump Body (SDB), Duratray’s flagship product, features a lightweight design with a flexible rubber wear mat supported by high-capacity synthetic suspension ropes and an abrasion-resistant steel frame. This innovative design provides numerous benefits tailored to mine and quarry operations, including increased payload capacity, reduced carryback, and noise reduction.

As a hybrid dump body, the SDB combines the best of steel and rubber to offer a light-weight equipment designed to increase payload, decrease carryback and reduce noise.

Duratray’s Suspended Dump Body (SDB) redefines mining efficiency with its innovative design. It eliminates carry back, increases payloads by 20%, reduces noise by up to 10 dB, and cuts abrasion by 65%. Offering superior shock absorption and low maintenance costs, the SDB delivers unmatched performance and durability.

Benefits

Reduced Carry Back

The SDB’s suspended rubber floor remains in constant flexible motion during loading and discharging, preventing material build-up. Recent trials show carry back is almost entirely eliminated.

Increased Payload

Its lightweight design enables greater volumetric capacity, boosting average payloads by up to 20% within GVW limits.

Noise Reduction

Ideal for mines near populated areas, the SDB’s unique design reduces noise levels by 8 to 10 dB, minimising environmental sound pollution.

Abrasion Resistance

Enhanced engineering delivers up to 65% less abrasion, even in harsh conditions with abrasive or sticky materials.

Load Shock Absorption

The SDB dump body design provides up to 50% reduction of vertical impact g-forces and WBV whole body vibration at the operators position. 

Low Maintenance Costs

The SDB dump body’s suspended rubber floor lasts 2-3 times longer than steel in hard-rock applications and can be replaced in 1-2 days, unlike weeks of welding for steel repairs.

Extended Life of Asset

Given the durability of SDB’s, they are able to “out-live’ traditional Steel Trays, providing improved ROI and extended life of the SDB.

What the Industry’s Best Say About Us

Endorsed by Experts, Trusted by Clients

Duratray International is known for practical innovation and proven results. See what our clients, expert team members and partners have to say about working with us.

"Since fitting the Duratray SDB to our fleet, we’ve seen a remarkable improvement in our haul cycles. The significant reduction in carryback has allowed us to move more material with fewer trips, directly improving our daily output. It’s an operational upgrade that delivers on its promise."

Operations Manager, Western Australia

"What sets Duratray apart is not just the quality of their products but the reliability of their field services team. Their technicians were on site promptly and provided outstanding support during installation and after-sales service. It’s a level of responsiveness that’s rare in this industry."

Maintenance Superintendent, Chile

"The Duratray SDB has proven to be a commercially sound investment for our mine. Reduced maintenance, longer service life, and improved payloads have translated into measurable cost savings across our operations. The tray paid for itself far quicker than we anticipated."

Commercial Director, South Africa

"Carry-back does more than reduce payload. It shifts weight off-centre, increases derailment risks, and forces costly, hazardous cleanup. With Duratray, that burden is eliminated. The result is safer operations, higher throughput, and fewer unplanned shutdowns."

Ron Doucet, P. Eng., Ryke Consulting (Canada)

"Our trays are built for long-haul reliability. Clients regularly see 2-3x the lifespan of steel bodies, 10-15% fuel savings, and up to 50% less maintenance spend. It's not just performance – it's smarter economics."

Engineering Team, Duratray International

"Duratray’s flexible SDB design not only cut carry-back in our coal application, but opened doors for smaller payloads in highway applications. We saw improved fleet performance and lower fuel consumption, all while delivering safer, higher-capacity transport. It’s more than a tray – it’s a rethink of haulage economics."

Subzero North Research, Fox Lake Post Dump & South African Coal Applications (Canada / South Africa)

"Duratray consistently registered lower sound power levels during first-pass loading. Most readings were below 133 dB, while the standard tray peaked at 146 dB. This directly improves our noise compliance and creates a better environment
for our team on the ground."

Acoustic Study, Komatsu 830E-1AC Fleet, Yancoal Moolarben Coal Operations (Australia)

"Noise dropped by 5.5 dB(A) and vibration exposure halved. For our operators, that’s the difference between fatigue and a full shift without discomfort. The extended exposure limit of nearly 30 hours with Duratray, compared to just over 5 with steel, speaks for itself. It’s a major step forward in operator health and wellbeing."

Noise & Whole Body Vibration Study, Mt Keith Operations (Australia)

"The Duratray bowl solved our carry-back issues overnight. Compared to the OEM steel bowl, we saw a 30% increase in average payload, virtually no carry-back, and better tray capacity for mixed densities. It reduced our maintenance time and improved safety by eliminating unnecessary cleaning procedures. Financially, it made perfect sense."

Load Study Report, Anglo Thermal Coal New Vaal (South Africa)

"After just eight months, we’d already had to replace or rebuild several steel boxes. Switching to Duratray meant we stopped replacing floors altogether. Even in minus 50°C, they held up. We gained an 8% payload increase, saw smoother operation, and reduced tyre and suspension wear. It made sense to roll out Duratray across the fleet."
