4000D-X® 101
4,085 Cubic Feet of Productivity
A full 101 1/4&\#34;of interior width from lining to lining and 101&\#34; from wearband to wearband, this 4000D-X dry van provides 4085 cubic feet for greater productivity.

4000D-X® 100
Deeper Side Posts with Increased Stiffness
Ideal for “bulge” loads. Utility’s patented 80,000 psi galvanized-steel side post design offers more specification versatility to meet your dry vans hauling requirements...and still provide 100&\#34; of interior width.

“Squeeze” Riveted Lining Panels
80,000 psi lining panels are “squeeze” riveted to both the outer skin and side posts, forming a snag-free, high-strength sandwich panel with fully recessed fasteners that won’t work loose, ensuring greater durability.

12" High Galvanized Steel Wearband
Low-profile, 80,000 psi high-tensile galvanized steel wearband provides added impact protection, strength, and stiffness to the interior of the 4000D-X.

Rugged Side Posts
Our 4000D-X dry van features 80,000 psi galvanized steel side posts that are designed and torture-track tested for maximum strength and durability. Type “A” logistic slots on 8&\#34; or 4&\#34; vertical centers (depending on model) provide added versatility for cargo securement.

Stainless-Steel Rear Door Frame
Utility’s stainless-steel rear door frame is engineered for lower maintenance, lower life cycle costs, and greater durability. For added stiffness to resist dock impact damage, the stainless-steel buckplate features a 3/8&\#34; thick bang plate and light protection bars. Utility’s design provides up to 110&\#34; of door opening height.

Strongest Integrated Threshold Plate
For maximum strength and durability, the threshold plate is fully welded to both the buckplate and the 24&\#34; deep side gussets. Extra floor support is built in with two 5 1/8&\#34; deep steel channel crossmembers welded to both the slider subframe and the bottom of the threshold plate.

Heavy-Duty King Pin Assembly
The entire king pin assembly on the 4000D-X dry van trailer is completely sealed, inside and out, with a rust-preventive coating. 3/8&\#34; diameter “squeezed” stainless-steel rivets positively attach the king pin section to the bottom rails. For increased pick up strength, the approach plate is turned up a full 12&\#34; and is supported by six formed, high-tensile steel channels.

Reliable Support Legs
For greater strength and lower tare weight, aerospace-style wingplates feature collared holes and embossed ribs while additional reliability is provided by formed channel “X” braces. Web stiffeners between front and rear pairs of crossmembers are designed to absorb uncoupling impact.

High-Strength Front Wall Reduces Maintenance
Extruded aluminum, 4 3/4&\#34; radius corner posts provide square loading and are easy to maintain. Steel “tees” and corner post end plates are welded to the approach plate for the added durability of this dry van.


Utility’s patented design uses .050 skin in high stress areas to provide strength and .040 skin in low stress areas to lower tare weight and increase payloads.

Modular Electrical System Lowers Maintenance and Downtime
Externally mounted gladhands and nose box allow for easy access and maintenance. Modular, sealed wiring harness provides 100% plug-in connectors. Lower rear side clearance lights are recessed and protected, and stop, turn, and tail lights are grounded through the harness.

D.O.T. Rated Dock Bumper
Utility’s high-strength bumper assembly is integrated into the rear threshold assembly and fully complies with D.O.T. requirements.

Roof Designed to Keep Freight Dry
Utility’s uniquely engineered roof structure features bi-directionally tensioned .040 roof skin with reinforcing plates at all four corners, plus full-length edge-capping strips to prevent moisture entry. The 4000D-X roof skin is supported by epoxy-bonded, 1&\#34; deep, anti-snag roof bows. Our wrap-around front rail and mechanically formed roof skin edges keep your payload dry.

Floors Reinforced for Strength, Durability, and Cargo Protection
80K, pre-coated steel crossmembers are attached to the bottom rails with four 3/8&\#34; squeezed rivets for superior strength. Flooring planks are also pre-undercoated for 100% coverage to extend floor life, and special sealant is applied between each floorboard seam. Utility-designed gaskets are installed between the outer boards and bottom rails for protection against leaks.

White Lining Panels
.019&\#34; 80,000 psi galvanized steel interior lining panels are pre-painted white for maximum durability and greater light reflection. Fork truck drivers see better, reducing interior damage.

Air Ride Suspension
Standard air ride suspension is designed to provide load protection as well as driver comfort. Integrated axle mounting design reduces fatigue and increases service life.

Stemco Platinum Performance Wheel End System
The Stemco Platinum Performance Wheel End System includes the Stemco Guardian HP Oil Seal, Stemco PRO-TORQ Spindle Nut, and the Stemco Integrated Sentinel Hubcap and includes a 5 year limited warranty on parts and labor.

Hendrickson Quik-Draw Pin Puller
Hendrickson’s Quik-Draw pin-pull mechanism is a fully pneumatic device that operates with simple pull of a handle. The unique design enhances driver productivity and reduces effort when repositioning the sliding suspension.
