Abstract

La présente invention concerne des camions de roulage, ainsi que des bennes basculantes pour ces camions de roulage. Selon un aspect, l'invention concerne une benne basculante de camion de roulage qui comprend une coque de benne, un cadre portant la coque et une pluralité d'amortisseurs de chocs interposés entre la coque et le cadre. La coque de benne et le cadre sont tous deux constitués principalement de matériaux composites, et les amortisseurs de chocs absorbent et amortissent les chocs transmis lorsque le matériau est lâché dans la benne basculante, réduisant jusqu'à quel point la coque et le cadre doivent absorber ces charges de choc.
