Dump trailers are extremely useful for several different purposes, from hauling debris away to clearing away piles of dirt and mud at a construction site. But they’re not a cheap item to purchase, so it’s important that you think carefully about what it is you need from a dump trailer, since there are several different options on the market.APC Trailers, located in Tucson, is your Arizona dump trailer dealer, and we’ve been a local family-owned and operated business for over 30 years. Read on to learn more about dump trailers and how to shop for one.
What Size?
Your first order of business is to consider the size of the dump trailer you need. This will depend in part on the size of your towing vehicle, which can only handle so much weight. You’ll want to check the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of your towing vehicle to see what its capacity is, bearing in mind that the weight of material hauled is another important factor. Dump trailers come in lengths between 8’ and 30’, although the most common size is 14’ because of its maneuverability.What Type of Lift?
Dump trailers have a variety of lifting mechanisms, and you'll want to choose one that suits your needs and budget. Try to find one that has gravity-down lowering instead of power-down lowering, since your battery will last longer this way.The types of lifts include dual-piston, telescopic hydraulic and scissor lifts. The dual-piston style has two pistons that push the trailer up. The hydraulic lift uses one cylinder to raise the trailer. The scissor lift is similar to the hydraulic lift, but it spreads out the footprint of the lift to better cope with uneven loads.
Do You Want Side Gates and Ramps?
Finally, you’ll need to think about whether you want your dump trailer to have side gates. These will prove useful with especially heavy loads, since you would otherwise have to push your payload towards the back gate to unload it. Side gates allow you to unload cargo more easily, and they also let you use tie-downs. If you want a ramp for loading and unloading cargo, you can choose between ramps that slide under the bed or along the side of the dump box or those that are built into the tailgate itself.Browse our website to check out our full stock of new and used dump trailers for sale at our Tucson dealership.
