    Where can I find out what trailers can handle what size of rocks that won't jack it up? Like, what size rock can you use in an aluminum trailer, steel trailer, reinforced steel trailer?

    3-5 inch rip rap will hurt even a steel rock bucket, but is doable. Would prefer a demo trailer for anything that big. Biggest we put in an aluminum is bull rock. And they still need to take it easy loading.
