Dump Trailer FAQ
End-dump vs. side-dump trailer — what is the difference?
An end-dump discharges from the rear by raising the front of the body. It is the most common configuration for aggregate and construction materials. A side-dump tilts sideways to discharge in a windrow — it is more stable on sloped terrain and faster to cycle, but requires more clearance width. Side-dumps are common in road construction and mining.
How do I inspect the body on a used dump trailer?
Check the floor and wall thickness for wear — aggregate loads are abrasive. Inspect welds along the floor seams and corners for cracks. Test the hydraulic system for leaks, proper pressure, and smooth operation. Check the tailgate hinges and latch mechanism. Aluminum bodies are harder to repair in the field; check for delamination and cracks at welds.
