How to identify my dump trailer

[garry]

I have a 5x8 dump trailer with 24 inch sides. It has a monarch pump. I don't know what kind of a trailer it is and I don't know how to research it. I cannot find any numbers on the trailer. It may have been painted. I think it has a 5000 pound axle. would anyone know how I might research the manufacturer?

If factory built it had a label on it probably around front end. Look on frame.

If painted over you probably can carefully remove paint off enough to read it. But do you have a title or bill of sale on it?

Manufacture really dosnt matter. You need to measure the axle tubes and look the size up and compair it to tire load rating.

Not perfect by any means but a 3500 lb axle will sometimes have 5 lugs and 5k have 6 lugs. 7K having 8 lugs. The lug bolt pattern circle gets correspondingly larger also.

As another poster mentioned check load rating on tires and inflation pressures though also!

Post a pic or two especially showing the rear tailgate as manufacturers seem to use different methods to mount them.

Maybe someone can identify it.

Look on your title , it will state the manufacturer
