Asymmetrical Underground Bodies

PHIL HiVol® Asymmetrical Underground Bodies are engineered for each client based on the material density of what they are hauling, using the patented Load Profiling® process. This style of body is designed for operations that load consistently from one side of the truck in underground environments where space and flexibility are challenged. The non-loading side is higher to act as a "backsplash" to contain the load and the body itself is positioned optimally on the chassis from side to side and front to back to achieve proper distribution of the load per OEM specifications. Each Asymmetrical Body is paired with a uniquely engineered Autogate® Tailgate to contain the load and to maximize haul truck efficiency.

Optimal Distribution of Weight on Chassis

Maximizes Loading Efficiency

Built out of 450–500 Brinell Steel throughout

Paired with unique asymmetrical Autogate® Tailgate

Engineered for underground environments

Achieve 100% full truck payload

Maximum Payload

Specifically engineered to minimize body weight and maximize payload. PHIL engineers work with clients to determine the proper body weight-to-payload ratio.

Our Sizing is Legit

We provide SAE volumetric measurements along with the actual volume utilizing our patented Load Profiling® process — not the industry's overestimated 15–20% figures.

Safety is Paramount

Built with the lowest loading height, lowest center of gravity, and best weight distribution possible — wider bodies provide a larger loading target and minimize vibration.

Unlimited Customization

"Stock design" at PHIL is an oxymoron. Each design is custom-engineered for each client's needs for any make/model of off-highway truck.
