What is the difference between the Tread Unibody and Treadbed bulk truck platforms?

The Unibody platform integrates the explosives body and chassis into a single structural unit, offering a lower center of gravity and compact footprint. The Treadbed platform mounts a separate explosives body onto a standard truck chassis, providing more flexibility for chassis selection and serviceability. Both platforms are available in ANFO, BLEND, PUMPER, and QUAD configurations.

What types of bulk explosives trucks does Tread Corporation manufacture?

Tread Corporation manufactures four configuration types: ANFO trucks (for augering dry ANFO), BLEND trucks (for augering a blend of ANFO and emulsion), PUMPER trucks (for pumping straight or pre-blended emulsion), and QUAD trucks (capable of augering, blending, and pumping any mixture). These are available on both the Unibody and Treadbed platforms.

What is a MEMU or MMU bulk truck?

MEMU stands for Mobile Explosives Manufacturing Unit, and MMU stands for Mobile Mixing Unit. These are bulk explosives trucks used in mining and quarrying to transport, mix, and load bulk explosive products such as ANFO and emulsion directly at the blast site. Tread Corporation has manufactured MEMU and MMU trucks since the 1960s.

What regulations do Tread bulk trucks comply with?

Tread bulk trucks are designed and manufactured to comply with OSHA, MSHA, ATF (BATF), DOT, TC (Transport Canada), and IME (Institute of Makers of Explosives) regulations. Compliance documentation is available upon request.

Can Tread customize a bulk truck to my operation's specific needs?

Yes. Tread's commercial engineers work with each customer to specify the right chassis, tank capacity, pump system, control system, and add-ons for their application. Custom configurations are built at Tread's manufacturing facility in Roanoke, Virginia.

Does Tread Corporation offer bulk truck rebuilds and field service?

Yes. Tread offers full rebuild services including chassis swaps, new controls, and pump or augering equipment upgrades for existing Tread units. Tread also has field service technicians located globally who can provide on-site assistance.

The Solution

The Tread Unibody design is a direct result of customers requesting a convertible bulk truck body that has the capability of being reconfigured to deliver the right mix of products required for any particular job.

The Solution

The Design

The Unibody style configuration is made out of four product compartments. The two outer tanks are dedicated prill product bins, and the two center tanks can be converted to house either prill or emulsion. The Unibody style can be configured by adding hose reels, water, DFO, Gassing, and product pump modules to accommodate a Quad that is capable of augering/pumping multiple blend products.

The Design

Innovation

With safety, reliability, minimum maintenance, and reduced operating costs as initial guidelines for the Tread design team, the Unibody was an introduced solution that has successfully achieved these objectives, plus versatility, expandability, and lightweight construction.
