Just when your dumping how are you going to manage the opening swinging door -
Ive seen it done. Just secure door when dumping

How do you think they empty the containers once full?? That's all rolloffs are- basically dumps with removable bodies and side-swinging doors.....LOL
To the OP- I would think as long as you're careful opening the door when full (and making sure it's secure before dumping...LOL) it would be just fine. I mean, that's what they're supposed to do! -
A curled hose with a quick connector to a line that is activated from inside the cab.
You would only need to get out off the cab to close the doors.fireman451 and slim shady Thank this. -
I noticed the roll off in the video was a top hinged door which to me is a lot safer

Yes you can but your tare weight will be heavier as far as the door no problem same type as scrap dump trailers no big deal as your standing on the side when u open door and if it doesnt open just use a pry bar while on the side,piece of cake like chocolate.
fireman451 and Cetane+ Thank this.
