Why Choose a Dump Trailer?

A dump trailer lets one person load and unload heavy, loose material quickly. Raise the bed and the load slides out, so there is no shoveling at the job site.

Landscaping and Construction

Haul mulch, gravel, soil, sod, pavers, demolition debris and yard waste, then dump exactly where you need it.

Cleanouts and Hauling Jobs

Dump trailers are a common choice for junk removal, roofing tear-offs and property cleanouts because unloading is fast and easy.

Farm and Property Use

Move firewood, feed, stone and brush around your property without making repeat trips with a pickup bed.

Side Equipment Dump Trailer Specifications

Towing Your Side Equipment Dump Trailer

Before you hit the road, confirm that your tow vehicle, hitch and ball are rated for the fully loaded weight of the trailer, up to the 16000 lbs GVWR. Use a brake controller when the trailer has electric brakes, and check tire pressure, lights, safety chains and coupler before every trip.

Load heavier items slightly ahead of the axles so the trailer has proper tongue weight, and secure every load with rated straps or chains. For general towing safety guidance, see the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Choosing the Right Dump Trailer

Before you choose this side equipment dump trailer or any other trailer, start with your heaviest load. Add the weight of the cargo, straps, tools and anything else you carry, then compare that total to the trailer’s payload, which is the GVWR minus the empty trailer weight. Leave some margin so you are not running at the limit on every trip.

Next, measure. Check the length and width of what you haul, plus room to walk around it and secure it. Then confirm that your tow vehicle’s rating, hitch class and brake controller match the loaded trailer.

For dump trailers, consider side height, gate style (spreader, barn door or combo) and lift type, since these affect what you can haul and how cleanly it unloads.

Side Equipment Dump Trailer Care and Maintenance

• Check tire pressure and tread before every trip, including the spare.
• Test the lights, wiring and breakaway system, if equipped.
• Service wheel bearings on the schedule in the owner’s manual.
• Check brakes, suspension and U-bolts for wear or damage.
• Look over the frame, welds, deck and coupler for cracks or loose hardware.
• Check hydraulic fluid level and hoses, and keep the pump battery charged.
• Wash off road salt and dirt, especially after winter driving.

Following the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule helps your trailer last longer and keeps it safe on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GVWR and payload?

GVWR is the maximum allowed weight of the trailer and its load together. Payload is how much cargo you can add, which is the GVWR minus the trailer’s empty weight.

Do I need trailer brakes?

Brake requirements vary by state and are usually based on the loaded trailer weight. Check your state’s rules and the trailer’s brake setup before towing.

What is the GVWR of this side equipment dump trailer?

The GVWR is 16000 lbs. That is the maximum weight of the trailer plus its load, so subtract the trailer’s empty weight to find how much cargo it can carry.

Is this side equipment dump trailer new or used?

This trailer is listed as new.

What can I haul in a dump trailer?

Common loads include gravel, dirt, mulch, sand, debris and scrap. Always stay within the trailer’s GVWR and your tow vehicle’s rating, since dense materials get heavy fast.
