dump trailer

Hydraulic cargo tipper

A dump trailer is a trailer with a hydraulic lift that raises the bed to dump its contents—gravel, dirt, debris, or other bulk materials.

Unlike dump trucks where the bed and cab are one unit, dump trailers are towed behind a separate vehicle: We rented a dump trailer to haul away the construction waste.

Popular with contractors and landscapers who need hauling capacity without a dedicated dump truck.
