Philippi-Hagenbuch expand steel options
Company adds zero-emission SSAB steel option to off-highway truck customization solutions portfolio
PHILIPPI-Hagenbuch Inc., a global leader in off-highway truck customization, are expanding the steel options for their custom solutions portfolio by offering zero-emission SSAB Zero steel for their haul truck equipment.
SSAB Zero is available as an option for Philippi-Hagenbuch’s entire line of custom products, including HiVol truck bodies, Rear Eject bodies, HiVol water tanks and the company’s full line of off-highway trailers.
‘Philippi-Hagenbuch have a history of being at the forefront of the industry when it comes to the materials we use and the designs of our products,’ said Josh Swank, chief growth officer at Philippi-Hagenbuch.
‘Zero-emission steel is part of that ongoing mantra we’ve had over the last 55 years. This provides customers with high-quality, fully customized equipment with the same toughness they’ve come to expect with our products, but in a package that also helps minimize their environmental impact.’
SSAB Zero uses recycled steel, which supports the circular economy – a model of production and consumption focused on reusing products as long as possible. Zero-emission steel is available for Philippi-Hagenbuch’s entire line of engineered-to-order products, but is most impactful on complete body replacements, such as HiVol bodies, HiVol water tanks, and rear eject bodies.
Philippi-Hagenbuch say the zero-emission solutions provide the same benefits and specifications as those manufactured with traditional SSAB steel, and do not compromise in terms of durability or abrasion resistance.
They add that alough opting for zero-emission steel will increase the product cost, the dividends through carbon credit and potential to take on projects calling for more sustainable practices can assist users in achieving their sustainability goals.
Philippi-Hagenbuch will provide calculations for both options, allowing customers to make an informed decision about the steel selection for their products.
