Dump Trailers For Sale

Dump Trailers For Sale

Dump trailers turn your truck into a material-moving machine. Instead of shoveling gravel, mulch, or debris out of a trailer by hand, you raise the bed and let gravity do the work. At Prime Trail Trailers we stock hydraulic dump trailers in 5 to 14 cubic yard capacities with scissor-lift and cylinder-lift designs, tandem and triple axles, and barn-door or tailgate configurations.

A dump trailer is one of the most profitable trailers you can own if you work in construction, landscaping, excavation, or agriculture. Our dump trailers feature high-strength steel beds, hydraulic power units with onboard batteries, tarp kits, and heavy-duty axles with electric brakes. Whether you are hauling gravel to a driveway or debris off a demo site, a dump trailer from Prime Trail pays for itself in saved labor.

How to Choose a Dump Trailer

Expert guidance to help you make the right choice.

Dump trailers are rated by capacity (cubic yards) and GVWR (maximum loaded weight). The capacity tells you how much material the bed holds; the GVWR tells you how much the whole loaded trailer can weigh. A 6x10 dump trailer holds about 5 yards and typically has a 10,000–14,000 lb GVWR. A 7x14 holds about 10 yards with a 14,000 lb GVWR. Match the capacity to the volume of material you move and the GVWR to your truck's tow rating.

The lift system is the heart of a dump trailer. Scissor-lift systems use two cylinders in an X pattern under the bed, providing a steeper lift angle and better weight distribution — ideal for sticky, heavy materials like wet dirt or asphalt. Single-cylinder (piston) lifts are simpler, lighter, and less expensive, and work well for most general dumping. If you haul heavy or sticky materials regularly, choose scissor lift.

The gate style determines how you unload. A barn gate opens like double doors for dumping in a pile. A spreader gate opens at the bottom to spread gravel, mulch, or stone in a line as you drive forward — a huge time-saver for driveway and road work. A combo gate does both. Also confirm the hydraulic system: most dump trailers include a 12-volt hydraulic power unit with an onboard battery, charged by your truck's 7-way plug or a wall charger.

Key Considerations

  • Match cubic-yard capacity to the volume you move and GVWR to your truck's tow rating
  • Scissor-lift systems handle sticky, heavy materials better than single-cylinder lifts
  • Spreader gates save hours on driveway and road material spreading
  • Onboard hydraulic battery charges from the truck's 7-way plug — no PTO needed
  • Most dump trailers require a 3/4-ton or 1-ton truck — check your tow rating
  • A tarp kit is required by law in many states to prevent debris blowing off
