The Payload Size
When shopping for dump trailers, start by considering the size and weight of your payload. You'll want to purchase a model large enough to handle what you need. However, you don't want to buy the largest model possible and end up paying extra for capacity that you don’t need. Aim for a strategic middle ground that gives you enough space without more than you'll use.
You’ll also want to keep in mind the size of your work site. You want to ensure the size of dump trailer you pick is compatible with the amount of space you'll have to work with. For those working in tight spaces, you'll want a smaller model that offers better agility and maneuverability. For those with the luxury of larger work spaces, you won't be as limited.
Side Dump Vs. End Dump
The two most common styles of dump trailer are side dump and end dump. This relates to how the equipment disposes of its payload and each style offers unique advantages.
Side dumps work by tilting to one side. Common uses for this style include spreading out rows of material, such as depositing dirt on a farm. A key benefit is that the user can easily control the amount of payload that is distributed at one time. The downsides are that they require more space to use and they tend to be heavier.
End dumps work by lifting the front of the trailer up so that material is deposited out the back. Newer models utilize conveyor belts to shift the material out instead of lifting the front end up. The benefit of both these model types is that you won't need as much space to operate this equipment, which can be ideal for those operating in cramped work spaces. The downside is that it deposits all the material at once, so you'll need to do extra work to distribute it evenly.
