New dump trailer

[Chris]

I searched and searched but couldn't find a dump trailer I liked that had what I wanted so I has one built. 14 foot long to hold my tractor, 14,000 pound capacity with all the bells and whistles. What do you think?

thats a nice looking trailer, I think you need a bigger truck to pull it.

I can see that there are slots to add a 2x12 to make the sides higher, but why did you have the sides built that low?

Looks sweet!

 

[Chris]

Did the low sides because we mainly haul asphalt and concrete. If I did higher sides my guys would over load it all the time. With the wood it will be 7' x 14' x 3' deep. That plenty of space.

I've always like those low walled trailers, especially for dumping concrete.

Got the wood on it and fit the tractor in. Fits with room to spare, I love this thing.

Betcha your truck isn't quite as thrilled as you are, though!

 

[Chris]

The cummins barely knows it's back there. Tows it like a champ!

I'm sure the tranny is screaming though.

Almost 12,000 pounds with the tractor in there.
