Used Dump Trailers
Pre-owned dump trailers for crews on a budget, with a hydraulic inspection guide.
A used dump trailer can save a contractor or landscaping crew real money, but dump trailers work harder than almost any other type. Years of rock, concrete and debris hitting the floor and repeated lifting put stress on the bed, hinges and hydraulics. A careful inspection will tell you whether a pre-owned unit has plenty of life left or a list of repairs waiting.
Start with the hydraulics. Raise the bed fully and lower it a few times, watching for slow or jerky lift, leaks at the cylinder, hoses and fittings, and any drifting down while it holds. Check the battery and charger. Look at the bed floor for buckling or thin spots, inspect the rear hinge pivots and gate latches, and look under the bed at the frame and scissor or cylinder mounts for cracked welds. Verify the VIN matches the title. Call (435) 776-6528 or visit us in Salem.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if the hydraulic pump is in good shape?
A healthy system lifts a loaded or empty bed smoothly and steadily without straining. Grinding noises, very slow lift or a bed that will not hold position are signs to look closer.
Is a bent dump bed floor a deal breaker?
Minor dents are normal on a working dump trailer. Severe buckling, cracks or rust-through may need repair, so factor that into your decision.
What about the brakes on a used dump trailer?
Check that the brakes engage evenly and that the wiring and breakaway system work. Given how heavy dump trailers get, working brakes are essential.
