First, think about how you want your cargo dumped. Most dump trailers will use a side dump or end dump. Both approaches offer perks.Side dumps:
- deposit the payload on a side of the trailer
- are efficient for laying out material, such as putting down soil for a landscaping or gardening project
- allow for easy control of how much of the payload gets dumped
- require more space to operate
- tend to be heavier
End dumps:
- deposit the payload out the back
- deposit all of the material at once
- take up less space, which makes towing and storage easier
The Size
Once you pick a dump style, the next step is to consider what model size you want. Most dump trailers range between 8 and 30 feet. The most common size is 14 feet.It's not always as simple as getting the largest option that you can afford. You'll need to check in with your tow vehicle's restrictions and see how much weight it can handle. Remember that the weight limitations include the weight of the cargo and any passengers, not just the weight of the dump trailer.
You'll also want to consider the weight of your payloads. Here you are aiming for a balance. You don't want to undershoot your needs and end up making multiple trips to get your cargo hauled. But you also don't want to overestimate your needs and pay for cargo capacity that you'll never use.
The Gates
A standard dump trailer will be designed with a back gate. To load the cargo, you open the rear gate and push the items towards the back. To unload the cargo, you open the rear gate and push the items towards the front. This can be tedious, especially if your loads are on the heavier side.Some dump trailers come with side gates. You'll be able to access the cargo from the side, which makes loading and unloading much easier. It'll also make using tie-downs easier. Not everyone will need a side gate option, but depending on your cargo you may benefit from investing in this style.
