University Grounds — Dump Trailer Leaf Vacuum Modification

Christopher Newport University’s grounds maintenance team needed a way to safely mount a large leaf vacuum to an existing dump trailer. We designed and installed a reinforced steel framework and mounting system that tied into the trailer’s structure without compromising capacity or balance. By combining proper load paths, gussets, and weld procedures, we delivered a durable, serviceable solution that stands up to daily campus use.

• Custom steel framing and brackets for leaf vacuum mounting
• Reinforced dump trailer structure for long-term durability
• On-site fit-up to match existing equipment and workflow
