Long dump trailer

My buddy has a 12' dump trailer and its curb weight is almost 2,700lbs. I would hate to see what a 16' was.

About 4200lbs for the low pro 16ft 15klb B-wise. At 2700lbs that must be a pretty light duty dump, the 12ft 15klb B-wise is still just shy of 4klbs.

My 16ft deckover dump is lighter, but that's due to having an aluminum body.

Lamar, Load Trail, PJ, Diamond C, and several others make 16' dump trailers. I have a Diamond C 24LPD.

Yes most everyone that makes dump trailers make 16' ones, either low profile or deck over. I will be getting one soon, probably a Diamond C gooseneck. My M7060 with the chipper on back will fit perfectly in a 16' one with the grapple set on top of the GN.

You might also want to check out Kaufman Trailers in N.C. I have a 14 footer that has been a good trailer. They offer many options and upgrades. One area of caution- dump trailers are very tongue heavy due to axles placed near the rear. You should really consider a gooseneck over 14' in my opinion. It will be very much easier to pull and easier on your truck as well. Not trying to skew your choice, just my opinion.

I have a 16' Big tex comes in at 4K, but for my needs it's wat I need.
I can drop in large trees in their 16' long not a problem.
Also I take a lot of trash/ brush to the recycler so I'm not hauling weught
as much as I'm hauling BULK.
When I fill it with bulk and pack it down with the bucket the most I can
get in it is 2,500 punds of twigs, leaaves, logs etc.
