Frameless end dumps are the only way to go. Some prefer lightweight aluminum for more payload, but that counts you out of demo work. Depends on what you want to do with it.

biggest thing with frameless truck and trailer must be strait and you lock the brakes on the trailer and the tractor brakes released as the truck will move back as the trailer goes up . ...frame type doesn't move
Zonno Thanks this. -
I have a lunch planned with my future broker the end of this month.
As of now, all I know is I need a dump trailer, at least 50 cu. yd. capacity.
The brokers "work" used to be all walking-floor-trailer work, but she switched to dump-trailer work.
I'll get all the specifics at the lunch.... -
Then you switch it halfway up so your traler begins to roll away from the pile you are creating, reducing the risk of tearing a mudflap off.
Start with the trailer locked (trolley bar), truck free. Then halfway up, release the trolley bar and pull the yellow knob. Piece o' cake! -
50 cubic yards? Sounds like lightwieght stuff, bark, compost, feed, or other commodity. An aluminim trailer is going to be about your only option if you need that kind of volume. The heavy trailers for demo barely have the capacity for 20.

anyway working on dump trucks requires additional training and experience. It is not so easy work.
Sometimes dupm truck drivers work on terrain and it is no ability to work with trailer and there are four ore more axes rigid dump trucks. May be it is a better choise? -
Sometimes this is true, however, you wont find a straight truck capable of 50 yards that I have seen anyway.
-
The Only trailers I've seen around here that are 50 yards are live floor mulch trailers and the ejector type that the trash guys run.
-
only 50 yards for a walking floor? Here in CA most carry 110 yards.
-
You've never had to dump anywhere that the only way to get in is to jack the trailer in and straighten the truck up as you put the bucket up? Consider yourself lucky, because you have to remember to do the reverse on the way back down, or you're REALLY stuck. BTDT.Flying Dutchman Thanks this.
