Dump trailer for personal use?
I bought a dump trailer that was destined for the scrap pile.
$500
Bought a scissor dump off a 1 ton dump truck previously to build a trailer. $400
bought a pile of steel to rebuild trailer
$1,200
Misc parts,lights wiring hyd hose paint and a couple brake plates.
$5-600
Was a ton of work,but in the end i have a dump trailer with double acting dump cylinder.
Axles are 6 bolt 6,000 lb.
When i insured it i de-rated it as it was “home made”. I can get away with pulling it behind my 1/2 ton.
Hauled a dozen or so loads to the dump,its awesome!
Keep in mind 3500 lb axles-trailer weight will eat up capacity of one axle.
Buddy borrowed trailer and put 5200 lbs of rock and mud in trailer and dumped it.
I wish i got one sooner.
