Looking for a dump trailer

[bagged97taco]

Looking to buy a bumper pull, tandem axle dump trailer in the 12-14’ range. Would like to buy a nice used trailer. But we know how pricing works in today’s market. Anyone selling? What brands are better if I’m buying new? Thanks for the info. I’m in Tucson but willing to travel for the best deal

 

[Mandelon]

I bought one last year. Just a 6x10 and it was $5600 new all in. I couldn't find any used ones in my area.

 

[RandyH]

I went B&B. Farley iowa. Lots of options. A bit more dollar than the big names. Don't go with HD axles with newer 2500 trucks. GVWR goes into CDL territory. I am no expert. But my 16 duramax is fine. But a 21 duramax I am over in my state.

 

[NicPaus]

I have 2 Carson and 1 PJ. Finding used is tough. I would buy new as a write off if I had to currently. I will keep my eyes peeled.
My Carson 12' are rated at 9,999 to avoid class A. I upgraded the tires and build sides for them. Currently $11,700 plus fees new. 2 years ago they were $6700.

 

[hallett21]

I have a 12’ x 7.5’ innovative. 3ft sides, 6000 lb axles, 14k lb scissor lift. It’s tagged at 9990lbs.

I paid 10k OTD in 2018 at Norco Trailers.

Edit. I think you can get the same trailer for 12-13 plus tax. Nvm looks like they’ve gone way up.

Was just considering the idea of selling mine. 14’ PJ 2 years old or so.

I have a 12’ Carson and over load it all the time ! It really works great for what I use it for - small enough to get around in parking lots and in my transfer station (dump)

if I had a 14‘ I think I would over that also! And that would be to much weight and length.

so with that being said I’m glad I’m limited to the 12 ft. It’s easy to tow & the ram always works ( dumps the load )

I think I saw that trailer when I visited the DLC headquarters of global operations.

I looked at new ones and PJ and Big Tex are made at the same factory in Texas and come powder coated, they are nice well built trailers.

although due to Covid labor is short at the plant in Texas and metal has like doubled in price!

the scissor ram system works the best!

That’s a BAD Ass Trailer!

 

[NicPaus]

When I first bought my 12' Carson I dug a basement right down the street from the landfill. Before the weight police took over Torrance. It was $40 a load to dump whatever it held. I piled it as high as I could. And it always dumped. The lead guy at Chandlers was working the scale house 1 load and ripped me a new 1. He had me scale it to show how overloaded I was. 18,000 of dirt.

I let my insurance agent borrow it back then to gut the plaster in his house. He told me the price to dump and I didn't believe him. He pulled out the ticket and sure as shit he put 7 tons in it and towed it to the dump with his Tahoe. Said it lifted the back wheels off the ground as the load slid out.

Yes both axles went out about 7 years ago and I bought the 7k ones each time I replaced them.

Tires are rated at 3,970 a piece.

How much??

This....

I was at the landfill some years back and one of those cheap single ram trailers failed due to being overloaded, the ram went through the bed and threw debris all over the place.

 

[monkeyswrench]

@bagged97taco , I don't know about down your way, but up here they've become DOT Nazis! Have two customers that got popped. Both were unloaded at the time, but the GVWR's of both the tag, and the tucks, added up to being CDL level. Unloaded!
One customer already had new tags made by the manufacturer...the other it just happened to.

 

[wet hull]

Here is mine. Rated at 9,999 as well. Just a matter of time until I get a fine. But cheaper then a new trailer. 16' box with 5' walls. Scissor lift with ram rated at 20,000lb. Beefed up leaf springs, brakes and 8 lug rims and heavy duty tires. Also hide away ramps. Typically use as a onsite dumpster for construction trash, and to haul skidsteer and excavator around. Rarel more then 5-6000lb. Largest load was 18,000lb of rail road ties but with the new laws and price on those you make 1 trip. Sorry couldn't help OP but just showing off construction nerd shit.

 

[SCHIADATROUBLE]

I am going to be selling this one. I bought it about a month ago to help me move. I’ll be done next week. It’s a 2022 with 6,000 lbs axles. Works great. $6,000 firm. $8,400 new. May need a bobcat for the house. Willing to trade the trailer and cash for a skid steer or small tractor.

Hey bro, you can borrow mine if you like. Have not touched it in a yr. 8x16 Thiokol with a pintle hitch (i have multiple pintle receivers) You just will not want to take it on the freeway. Its not a hyd dump but it release dumps and winches down.

[Waterjunky]

I have a friend with one he mentioned selling just the other day. PM me if you are interested in it and I can reach out to him. Of course it is up here in Northern Ca. Might be able to meet in the middle somewhere if things get serious.

 

[pronstar]

Just sold mine…2 years old, for $2k more than I paid for it.

Bumping this thread instead of starting a new one. I am looking for a 12' - 14' dump trailer. Anyone selling one??

Where are some good places to look at them? Want to be between $8k - $10k.

Watch the capacity plate.
Buddy had one for his junk hauling business. However truck + trailer, but him over 26k and he got popped multiple times.
On the 3rd stop his truck and trailer got impounded since he did not have the right DL license, etc. Needless to say, his wife made him close down the junk hauling business.

 

[MeCasa16]

I have a Lamar dump trailer. When I compared it side by side to the PJ, it looked better to me.
It is a 5x10 with the ramps underneath and 10k weight rating. It’s been a life changing tool to have this one is real easy to manage in the city.
I also included a pic of the hitch lock. It at least would slow someone down a little longer..

I'd hate to sell mine but I could use the cash for the house build. see post #11 for pics. 14', 10k lbs.

https://skytrailers.net/ These guys are in Colton. I have a 12'er from them. So far works great. We have been abusing it for a couple years now.

What do you want for it?

What do you want for it?

$8,500

 

[johnnyC]

I bought a 14 ft dump rated for 14,000 lb during covid...... best thing i ever bought just use it here and there ..... got tired if watching people at the dump push a button and go wile i unloaded by hand..... had the big tex dealer derate the capacity of the trailer to under 10,000 so i couldnt have a problem....you still have the strength to over load without breaking things ..... just dont get caught

 

[D19]

Seriously just buy a brand new one and sell it when you’re done if you want to. You’ll be money ahead.

 

[SCHIADATROUBLE]

$8,500

Nice trailer. Wheres it at?

 

[Deckin Around]

As said above, Sky trailers are not only the cheapest but I haven't had any issues with the 3 Sky dumps we have.
I have a similar story to Nic where a friend borrowed an 8k dump trailer and filled it with 15k of stucco. It would not lift to dump and he had to pull stucco out by hand at the Brea landfill until it did.

SOLD in 12 hours
I've been saying for a few years I'm going to sell my littlest 10' dump trailer with 2' sides. (I took the pics below last year when it was out of storage.) It doesn't get used much as I have a few 10 & 12 with higher capacity. It's got the 5 lug wheels so it's stickered 4000lb max capacity.
I'd sell it for $3800 and I'm pretty sure it has newer tires and a brand new spare judging by the pics.

wish i had seen this sooner, i would have bought it and drove it back to texas two weeks ago…

Ended up purchasing a 12' x 72" PJ D3. It has 2 - 5200 axles and 7200 lbs payload. I was going to go smaller but the price difference made more sense to do this one.

Creating a separate company for this that we will work in with our water and mold mitigation/remediation.

Nice trailer.
Watch the GCVWR. Buddy did junk removal and hauling and got nailed for not having the A license and truck and trailer was over 26k. Commercial CHP like to make dump trailer life difficult

 

[bagged97taco]

I just picked up this one up last week.

. Already built extended sides for it. Had to have orange so made the trek to El Paso. Red barn trailers was the cleanest, nicest facility I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend using them.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Ok so let's talk about securing this thing. I already put a couple Milwaukee pucks on it that are hidden. It has the removable coupler so I am thinking that I take the coupler off and run a couple pad locks through the holes.

Are there any quick release pins that I can use instead of these screws and lock nuts or do I just have to un screw every time.

Plan is to keep it at our office. It's a pretty secure lot with security and cameras but just want to be safe.

 

[NicPaus]

Even without the coupler. You can drag it off with just the chains.

Is the lot open or behind a gate. If open they can scope it out. Plot a way and return. But removing wheels on 1 side gets old when you use it a lot. With a portable grinder not much is safe anymore.

That's a nice dump trailer.

If they want it, nothing will stop them. Removing all wheels would be the only real way to stop them.

I am going to keep it at the house for now. Got the daughter's SUV backed right up against it at night and we have multiple cameras. Going to look at some storage spaces tomorrow. We have an indoor storage for equipment and consumables right now so going to see if I can find something outdoors. Our indoor storage has outside storage too where people store trailers, cars and RVS. That's probably the best option since you need a code to get in and out.

Wish we could do a small warehouse with office but they all want 3 year leases. Screw that.

 

[SCHIADATROUBLE]

I think the best way to secure any trailer is to have something hooked to it. A lot of vehicles you can use to do that. If you have an area where you’re shuffling vehicles it’s hard to beat a short wheel base jeep.

 

[NicPaus]

I have a extra truck I use. But they stole the cats off it. I occasionally leave them on jobs chained up. But I lose sleep. They are 20 years old now and not pretty.

One of them was stolen years ago before I bought it from a buddy. Stolen out of his driveway in Redondo Beach while remodeling and not living there. Deep driveway you couldn't see it from the street. They cut the locks. He bought another. Years later he got a call from PD. Someone called because it was in there driveway. Thief was using it on house next door and parked it in neighbor driveway. They ran plates and called him. Got it back. They didn't even swap the plate.

 

[wet hull]

Cables through all 4 rims, also can pull the electric emergency brake tab. Best is to get it painted and company signs permanently mounted. Makes it really hard to blend in with all the other trailers just like it. Mine is lime green with large steel signs bolted to it.
