As part of a collaboration between Borcat Trailers, Haulmark, and Mack Trucks, a new truck featuring a Gincor Werx Live Bottom body – an Australian first – has officially hit the road.
Imported from Canada, the Gincor Live Bottom system offers a safer, more versatile alternative to traditional tipping bodies.
With both rigid and trailer live bottom configurations, this innovative unit can handle anything from hotmix asphalt, gravel, and sand to agricultural products, mining materials, chemical fertilisers, dry lime, potash, calcium, coke/fly ash, and milings.
The project centres around a specially designed Mack 10×4 Anthem, equipped with a 13-speed crawler gearbox, tailor-built for this unique application.
The truck is paired with a 3.2mm Hardox 450 steel body, manufactured with insulated sides to maintain the precise temperatures needed for asphalt – reducing sticking and maximising payload quality.

It will be used for hotmix and waste material operations.
The rigid body also lifts to 22 degrees – not for tipping, but to provide safe access to the chassis for maintenance, a first-of-its-kind feature in Australia.
“This collaboration is a game-changer,” said Tony O’Connell, Vice President Mack Trucks.
“We believe this will set a new benchmark in operational safety and material versatility.”
