PHIL patented Rear Eject HiVol® Bodies are specifically engineered for all operating conditions and the toughest applications. Whether you dump on the go, handle hard to dump sticky materials, have limited dump clearance or just want to dump faster and safer, PHIL's Rear Eject HiVol Body improves truck utilization for increased productivity. Available for all makes/models of off-highway trucks.

Whether you dump on the go, handle sticky-type materials, have limited dump clearances or just want to dump faster, PHIL's Rear Eject Body tackles your toughest applications and increases your truck's payload and productivity.

With dumping times typically better than rear dump trucks, our Rear Eject Body outperforms all other units by forcibly ejecting all materials, even the stickiest, and reduces carryback, all without raising the truck bed. Our ejector system increases truck stability with a lower load center, allowing trucks to dump in conditions where standard dump trucks would be unstable and unsafe. Dump on downhill slopes, side slopes, and softer underfoot conditions with confidence.

With its easy in-cab controlled operation, our Rear Eject Body spreads material as it ejects, reducing dozing and spreading workloads. The ejector body employs exclusive ejector guides – no rollers – for fast, smooth, low maintenance ejector operation. Its unique flat floor provides complete material shedding extending floor life.

Designed with a simple hydraulic system, one hydraulic cylinder controls the ejector and tailgate offering the fastest stationary or on-the-go dumping, reducing total haul cycle times. And our Rear Eject Body has only one lubrication point that needs greasing just once a year – no other regular maintenance required.

The PHIL Rear Eject Body is your ideal choice to handle haulage challenges associated with general construction, road construction, sand and gravel, mine reclamation as well as underground applications and on sites where overhead barriers such as trees, power lines, overpasses and conveyors inhibit dumping.

PHIL Rear Eject Bodies fit all makes/models of articulated trucks and are suitable for some rigid frame trucks and applications.
