aluminum dump trailer

[Builder]

well, that certainly makes sense, but have you hauled heavy items like tractors in a dump trailer?

very icky feeling.

wayyyy up high, feels real top heavy and "wobbly", not solid like an equipment trailer.

Yeah man, it sure is. I didn't even like my deck-over equipment trailer. That machine is kid of high on the center of gravity, too.

Nothing better than a low between the fenders equipment trailer. They can carry a lot of weight and they handle great.

well, I guess I can put this purchase off for a bit anyway, since my new machine is legal on my 12000# deckover. So I will use that for the time being until I sell my gravel truck.

what exactly are you loading into a dump trailer that
a. weighs 10,000lbs
b. fits into 16 feet

thats easy to do with skid stears and mini-trackhoes these days.

Those Aluminum dumps are pretty sweet.

Price is high compared to US, but even a 12 footer in steel here is $8000 or so. And that would be a plain model without upgrades like LEDs etc.

Aluminum dumps have really taken off on highway trucks. Im seeing alot of the MAC smooth sided aluminum trailers locally.
