Has anyone with a dual-axle dump trailer installed one of those thick poly truck bed / trailer bed liners? I'm not talking about the ones the haz-mat boys use... the ones like large over-sized garbage bags. I'm talking the ~3/8-1/2" thick ones installed on serious materials delivery dump trucks and trailers to protect the steel bed and cause problem materials to slip out easier? Seems that would be a nice addition to my little 10K dump trailer if I can find a place that sells & fits them for a not-too-extravagant price.

If you can find one of the plastic walled small swimming pools the sides would be great for that, the one I have is 1/8 inch thick and 3 feet wide and about 30 feet long
and all free, side of road shopping LOL :D

Now that's funny! :D You sound like you are cheaper than me! :)

But I am actually looking to get the real deal... 1/2" thick and a piece 8 or 10 feet wide... although not necessarily from the "established" trucking suppliers.

Sounds like it may take us about one or two cases of beer to just get started
Too bad we live so far apart, I think we could have fun swapping stories

Jim, I can out-cheap, out-frugal, out-poor-mouth anyone. :) In my most famous story ever, I was working down in Louisiana when I was approached on the street by a bum looking for change. To make a long story short, we got into a conversation about our relative sorry situations... and by the end of the conversation, HE was digging into HIS pockets to come up with spare change for ME! :eek: This is not a made-up story. :eek: Can you beat that??? ;)

But back on topic before this gets moved to "Miscellaneous"... Someone out there must have gone out and bought themselves a dump trailer bed liner... yes??? :confused:

How about you just spray some used motor oil in your bed before loading it? and it would keep rust down at same time LOL
:D :D :D

Here is the stuff you're looking for. Better put your seat belt on it ain't cheap.
HMWPE Truck Bedliner
Hi Ed - I don't think that's so bad at all. $37.03 per foot for 1/4" thickness and 10-ft wide. Heck, I'd only need 7 feet for my little toy dump trailer... $259.21 plus whatever. Of course, I am looking for 1/2". Gotta be more. Maybe $350.00 like I had kinda sorta figured? :confused:
