More About The 14K Dump Trailer

What do you haul?  Probably a lot of different things – and a lot of it – which is why this 14K Dump Trailer is exists.  If you want to build the best, then start with these plans.  Make the trailer to meet your needs.

Even in the mature world of dump trailers, we have found ways to improve the designs.  Certainly the proper use of materials to make sure it is super strong, but not overburdened.  Next, we optimized placement of the scissor hoist so it can lift the load without interference or excessive stresses.  That is just part of doing great engineering.

In the process of design we looked at many material sizes and configurations for the tilting box.  We settled on a design that will work hard, but not limit your loading.

In the front we incorporate a pump box for the hydraulics.  All the parts shown are off-the-shelf (and available from Johnson Trailer parts as a Dump Trailer Parts Kit.  All the steel materials are made from standard stock sizes.
