Dump Trailers for Sale

Start with the load: dirt, demolition, brush. Tell us that much and the right bed, hoist, and axle count follow from it.

What does a dump trailer cost?

Dump trailers here run $3,799 to $26,999. A light single-axle opens the range. The heaviest gooseneck rigs close it out.

That's the 14,000-lb GVWR class, and it handles driveway, ranch, and jobsite duty on one trailer.

Four things move the number: the GVWR, the bed length, bumper pull versus gooseneck, and options like tarp kits and ramps. Tell us which of those the job actually needs and we'll walk you to the units that hit it.

Every store writes standard financing and rent-to-own. The full life-of-loan cost goes on the page in plain numbers. The payment is the last number we show you, not the first.

How often you'll use it moves the number too. A few cleanup weekends a year doesn't need the working middle. Say that on the phone and we'll walk you to a lighter, cheaper unit on the lot that still clears the work.

One more number before you shop. Every price in this range is the trailer's cash price. Tax, title and registration, and the doc fee get added at the store, and your state sets most of that. Ask for the out-the-door number on the unit you're circling. That's the figure to plan the job around.

What size dump trailer do you need?

Start with the material, then pick the bed. Dense loads run heavy fast.

A 7x14 in the 14,000-lb class moves about three yards of wet dirt or gravel a trip. Call it a driveway's worth of base in two runs.

Length buys volume, not capacity. On dense material you load a 16-foot bed level rather than heaped, because it will hold more dirt than its axles are rated to carry. Want more weight per trip than that? That's what the higher-rated gooseneck dumps are built for.

Light, bulky loads flip the logic. Mulch and brush fill the bed long before they load the axles. Buy the length and the taller sides there.

Scissor or telescopic hoist is its own decision. The hoist breakdown on this page walks through which one lifts what.

Bumper pull or gooseneck?

The receiver already on the truck fits one.

The fork shows up at tongue weight. A loaded box is dense, and on the longest beds and highest GVWRs that weight rides better in the truck bed than on a receiver. That's why the 16-foot beds on our lots are mostly goosenecks, so the heavy end of the category is covered either way.

Weekend duty behind the family three-quarter-ton, bumper pull keeps life simple. Daily duty behind a one-ton, look at the goosenecks. The full hitch story: pin weight, payload math, turning radius. It lives on our gooseneck trailers page.

Frequently Asked Questions

A used dump turns up now and then and rarely sits a full week. Tell your nearest store what you're after and we'll call you when one lands.

Depends on your state. Arkansas, Missouri, and Arizona title every trailer; Texas requires a title only when gross weight tops 4,000 lbs (registration is always required); Oklahoma requires title and registration only when the trailer is used for business. Tell us your state and we'll walk you through the paperwork before you drive down.

It depends on the whole combination, not the trailer alone. The line to watch is a combined rating of 26,001 lbs or more with a trailer rated over 10,000 lbs. Past both, Texas requires its non-CDL Class A even for personal use, and Oklahoma and Missouri require a Class A CDL. Arkansas and Arizona require it only when the towing is for business. If you'd rather stay under that line, give us your truck's ratings and we'll show you the dumps that keep the combination there.

Both, at every store. Terms are written out in full: the loan's total cost over its full term, in plain numbers. So you can judge it the way you'd judge any tool purchase.

On most models the hoist pump runs off its own 12-volt battery, and a battery that sits drains itself. Charge or maintain it through the off months, and check the battery first. If it still won't lift, a service bay can test the pump.

The 14,000-lb models with slide-in ramps carry compact machines. Give us the machine's weight with its attachments and we'll match it to a trailer rated to carry it.

For most units, yes. Delivery is priced per trip, off your address and the trailer's stock number. One call to (866) 606-7477 puts a firm figure on it.

A dump trailer is an open-bed trailer with a hydraulic hoist that raises the bed to unload material. Contractors, landscapers, property owners, and rental operators use them for dirt, gravel, debris, equipment, and bulk material. Bed size, gate style, hoist design, GVWR, and payload determine which jobs a specific unit can handle.

A dump trailer does not have one standard empty weight. Weight changes with bed length and width, steel or aluminum construction, axle package, side height, hoist, and installed options. Check the exact manufacturer specification or trailer label, then subtract empty weight from GVWR to understand the available payload.

Start with the heaviest load you expect to carry, then compare payload, bed dimensions, axle and brake ratings, hoist design, gate options, tarp equipment, and your tow vehicle ratings. Choose the smallest configuration that safely handles the job with capacity left over rather than selecting by bed length alone.
