Dump trailer rental

A dump trailer has a bed that tips to unload, which makes it the usual choice for loose material.

Typical jobsite uses

• Clearing demolition debris, soil and rubble from a site.
• Bringing in gravel, sand or mulch, and taking spoil away.
• Staying on site as a loading point for waste while the work goes on.

What to confirm with the supplier

The trailer a supplier actually offers is what decides whether it suits your job. What this page says is general, not the specification of any trailer, so check the offered unit against the list below before you choose.

• Deck or box dimensions, measured against what you plan to load.
• Payload, and whether it suits the heaviest load you expect to carry.
• How things go on and off (ramps, doors, a gate or a tilting deck), and whether that suits your equipment.
• The hitch and coupler size, and whether the vehicle that will move it is rated to tow it loaded.
• The brake and lighting connections, and whether they match that vehicle.
• How the bed tips and how the tailgate opens, and whether that suits where you unload.
