Dropside Body

The Dropside Body is required to be light and strong, able to withstand high-intensity impacts and work well in harsh environments. The aluminum alloy dropside body is lighter than the steel body, and the use of special aluminum alloy makes it as strong as steel. Of course, the biggest advantage of the aluminum alloy body is that it will not rust, and its service life greatly exceeds that of the steel body.
