Size

When deciding the weight and size of your dump trailer, keep in mind the towing capacity of your tow vehicle. If you buy a bigger size than your vehicle can tow, you’ll end up damaging both. The size should also be compatible with the amount of material you need to move. Dump trailer sizes range from 8 to 30 feet, but the most common size is 14 feet because it’s easy to maneuver and has a good load capacity. 



 

Lift

When buying a dump trailer, pay attention to its lifting mechanism. Some of the common ones are: When you check out the mechanism for lowering the trailer, choose ‘gravity down’ instead of ‘power down’ as it prolongs your battery life.

Axles

Many people prefer large axles, but these need heavy-duty wheels, more wheel studs and bigger brakes. You can end up getting torsion axles bending if you overload your trailer often. When that happens, you’ll have the costly repair of replacing the entire axle. If you’re going to be moving heavy loads, opt for leaf-spring axles. These can be repaired by replacing the leaf springs and work much better on rough terrain.

Side Gates And Ramps

You might think that side gates are a non-essential feature, but they are extremely useful for heavy loads. With only a back gate, you have to load cargo and then push it back; for unloading, you have to push it to the front. With side gates, loading and unloading of heavy cargo gets easier, and using tie-downs is also more convenient. If you get ramps, you have the option to store them under the bed, place them at the sides of the box or just have them built into the tailgate.
