Dump trailer size

Lifting mechanism of dump trailer

When buying a dump trailer, the height of the sidewalls of the car body is a factor to consider. Generally speaking, the standard height of the trailer is 24 inches. If you want higher sidewalls, you can choose to customize the trailer or purchase removable extensions. If your budget is not enough, you can even choose to build your own sidewalls and front walls out of wood, but it is not very strong.

Metal Thickness

Different trailer manufacturers may have different metal thicknesses. Consider this when buying a trailer. The thicker the metal of the car body, the more wear-resistant it is. If the cargo you are loading is gravel or concrete, the thicker the metal, the better.

Axle Options

Larger axles can withstand more weight. Torsion axles and leaf spring axles are common choices. When your dump truck is often overloaded, you should choose leaf spring axles because when the leaf spring axle is damaged, you only need to replace the leaf spring, while if you use a torsion axle, once it is damaged, you need to replace the entire axle, which is very expensive.

The above are some of the factors to consider when purchasing a dump truck. If you need to buy one, you can consult us. We are a trailer supplier from China, with our own factory, providing high-quality products.
