Dumper trailers can be very useful for agricultural work, providing an all-purpose platform for the loading, transport and depositing of materials of all kinds.
Read More (Dumper Trailers)The construction of the body of the trailer is important when picking an agricultural dumper, since these trailers tend to be built using steel to help reduce wear and tear. As such, the thickness of the sides and floor will play a part in determining the durability and longevity of any model of this kind. The type of tipping mechanisms that are present will also be important, with powerful hydraulic rams allowing heavy loads to be elevated and dumped efficiently without the use of other machinery.
You should also look at the number of axles, the type of tyres and the capabilities of the brakes that are used on any second-hand dumper trailer. Most agricultural models will come with two axles at the rear and utilise grippy tyres which are capable of gaining traction even when being used on muddy fields or loose surfaces. Hydraulic or air brakes are desirable, although the age and specifications of a dumper trailer will affect their availability. You may also want to look at models which feature lights, which will make them legal for use on public roads, especially if you are planning to take the trailer off-site in order to transport it elsewhere. Focus on procuring a fully operational used dumper trailer which has a lot more life to offer.
