FAQs for Dump Trailers
In the market for a dump trailer? Here are some of the most common questions we hear, along with answers that can help you in making the right purchase.
Have more questions? Contact us anytime.
Q: How do I know what size dump trailer I need?
A: The size of dump trailer you need depends on the type and volume of material you plan to haul. Common sizes for dump trailers range from 5′ x 10′ for smaller jobs to 7′ x 14′ or larger for heavy-duty tasks. Consider the capacity, dimensions, and weight limits that best suit your work.
Q: Should I choose a bumper pull or gooseneck dump trailer?
A: Bumper pull trailers are easier to maneuver and are ideal for lighter loads and tighter spaces. Gooseneck trailers offer better stability and higher weight capacity, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Q: What materials can a dump trailer handle?
A: Dump trailers are designed to handle a wide range of materials, including gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, debris, and construction materials. Ensure your dump trailer has the appropriate capacity and durability for your specific needs.
Q: How do I know if my vehicle can tow a dump trailer?
A: Check your vehicle’s towing capacity in the owner’s manual. Compare it with the dump trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), which includes the trailer’s weight and load. Your vehicle should be able to safely tow the full GVWR.
Q: What type of hydraulic system is best for a dump trailer?
A: Most dump trailers use either scissor lift or direct push hydraulic systems. Scissor lifts provide more stability and are better for heavier loads, while direct push systems are more straightforward and cost-effective for lighter loads.
Q: How do I maintain my dump trailer?
A: Regular maintenance includes checking the hydraulic system, inspecting the tires, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring all lights and brakes function properly. You should also clean the trailer bed after use to prevent material build-up and corrosion.
Q: What are the benefits of high-side vs. low-side dump trailers?
A: High-side dump trailers offer increased capacity, making them ideal for hauling bulkier materials. Low-side trailers are easier to load and unload, especially with smaller equipment like wheelbarrows or skid steers.
Q: How do I ensure I’m getting a quality dump trailer?
A: Look for dump trailers made with high-quality materials like reinforced steel frames and durable hydraulic systems. Read reviews, ask for recommendations, and buy from reputable manufacturers who stand behind their products with warranties and customer support.
