Dump-Pro Dump box

[BigEddy]

Caught an ad for these in Compact Equipment. Looks pretty slick to me - not sure how much they are yet, but if I can retain all my limbs, I could be persuaded.
Dump-Pro
Anyone have any feedback?

Thanks

And it even holds water!!! LOL.....Good luck going very far without getting soaked.

Seriously though it would be handy. There have been plenty of times something like that could have been put to use.

I have the EZ-dumper, made out of steel, works great and I take in in and out of my truck with my tractor, takes about a half hour including bolting it down and hooking up the 12 volts. I like the non-rusting concept, but wonder it it will hold up to hauling stone. The EZ-dumper uses a hydraulic pump and cylinder instead of a winch.

The Dump-Pro looks pretty neat. Anybody know what they cost?

Oh about $1,900. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

3 months..................................

Thats how long I think it will be before someone here builds one just like it using scrap.

Doesn't have all the functionality, can't move fluids, but this is a cheap alternative:
Loadhandler Anyone out there used one?

Lots of threads on this. Did a Search and here's a link to one of them.

The loadhandler doesnt work as well as the dump-pro. I had a loadhandler and had a load of gravel and could barely get it out, just imagine a thousand pounds of gravel and basically a tarp to roll it out.

I watched a site being dewatered with dump trucks, once. They couldn't lay a discharge line across a busy street, so they pumped the water into dump trucks with rock bodies (no tailgate), trucked it across the street, and dumped it into the river.

I suspect it was expensive and they didn't have to go far.

Yep I have a loadhandler, works great, have dumped 1800 lbs. of 3/4 stone no problem, drove down the driveway and dropped as we went. But, had a load of asphalt shingles went to the dump and they got caught up behind the wheel wells and had to hand unload. They make an add-on mat for your bed to decrease friction (easier to unload) only drawback is once you start to unload you cant stop and close tailgate. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

That is what I was worried about when looking at one. If you fill the box there will be a ton of stuff sitting in front/back of the wheel wells.

CTyler its made for a pickup truck, not a 10 ton dumptruck ( what in the world do you fill your bed with???) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif, you can easily make some plywood "wings" to block stuff from filling the between the cab and the wheel wells and it doesn't matter between the wells and the tailgate
