Dump trailer operators everywhere face the same problem. Rubber pads wear down. Replacing them means welding, drilling, or gluing into the frame. Until now.

BAY CITY, MI, UNITED STATES, July 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Michigan Dump Trailer Operator Invents No-Weld Klamp System for Rubber Pad Replacement

VanKlamps eliminates welding, drilling, and gluing from dump trailer maintenance—and the shop bills that come with it.

Dump trailer operators across the country have lived with the same problem for decades. Rubber pads wear down. Replacing them means gluing, welding, or drilling, into the frame—expensive, time-consuming, and damaging to equipment. Until now, nobody had built a better answer.

Enter Bryan VanOchten. A Michigan dump trailer operator who runs the same equipment as his customers, VanOchten got tired of the downtime and the huge bills every time a rubber pad needed replacing. His response? He engineered the fix nobody else did.

VanKlamps is the first and only patent-pending Klamp system specifically designed to hold heavy-duty rubber strips securely in place. VanKlamps attach directly to the trailer frame—no welding, no drilling, no gluing. Any operator can install VanKlamps without special skills or shop equipment in a fraction of the time it takes for traditional methods, and without damaging the trailer frame. If you can hold a Klamp, you can install VanKlamps.

“I built this because I needed it myself,” said VanOchten. “Every operator I know has dealt with this problem and just accepts it as part of the cost of running equipment. VanKlamps changes that. You install it, it holds through heavy jobs, and when the rubber wears at a fraction of the rate traditional pads do, you replace only what you need. No shop visit. No frame damage. No massive bill.”

VanKlamps provides continuous rubber coverage along dump trailer frames and cross members, reducing friction, impact, bouncing, and noise while extending the overall life of the trailer. Individual replacement components—including heavy-duty rubber strips and Klamps for steel or aluminum frames—are available separately so operators only pay for what they need.

The product is available in 1-foot to 100-foot kit configurations—sized for spot repair through full trailer coverage, with pricing starting at $19.99. VanKlamps is now shipping and taking orders. Wholesale and distribution inquiries are welcome. The U.S. market includes an estimated 400,000 to 500,000 active dump trucks, representing a substantial population of operators currently underserved by existing rubber-replacement options.

VanKlamps is fabricated in Michigan. Patent-pending.
