ATV Dump Trailer

mitchash · Oct 9, 2015

Anyone build a 4 wheel walking beam style dump trailer that can be used behind an ATV or tractor? I'm looking for plans to build one.
Thanks, Ash

There have been a few build threads on here. But I think the general consensus is that you won't save much building vs buying unless you have a lot of the parts already. Hubs/spindles and tires add up fast.

Not a walking axle off road trailer... But these look handy for around the yard and can be had for ~$1800

Sure Trac |

I have one of these: ATV Trailers Heavy Duty Tandem Axle Model 7550ATV by Country ATV.

The price seemed pretty reasonable to me. If nothing else, you might get some ideas for building your own.

maybe u can answer the question on these units then...how does the 4 wheeler handle it since you wouldn't have the additional tongue wait of a regular trailer....which really helps with traction! just something ive always wondered about them

Thanks for posting this, it's exactly what I need: small enough to pull with a Honda UTV down my trails and then it's legal for over the road to the dump. It's just about perfect but do you know of any other manufacturers that make a similar product?

Thanks!

Because it is a walking beam style the weight on the tongue behaves like a regular two wheel trailer. If you look at some of the pictures you can see how it pivots. There are a bunch of Youtube videos of walking beam trailers that might give you a better idea of how they behave.

I just bought one of Country's new wider walking beam trailers and was very impressed with the build quality UTV Trailers Heavy Duty Tandem Axle Model 7740UTV by Country ATV. This one has a 4 x 7 bed and a wider wheel stance for use behind of our side by side.

Here's one offered by a local sales place. Electric over Hyd so it's a little more pricey.
