Load Trail Dump Trailer with King Sides ?

Thanks TSO for the feedback. For some reason this style dump trailer has been flying under the radar.

I will have to call local dealer for them and see how much they want for one, I rented a smaller ball hitch dump don't remember the brand but it only held 3 ton and it pulled horrible. I borrowed a 16 triaxle dump trailer with gooseneck and it pulled good but was to tall to load equipment in, easily handled 8 ton and pulled good.

My 16 footer weighs around 4500 lbs empty so in theory it can handle 9500 lbs (it's 14k rated). However, in reality it can handle more. I've loaded and dumped 12,500 with it. It towed great (I believe the axles are 8k lbs rated) and the hydraulics handled dumping it.

I don't think there's anything special about LoadTrail in general... I think most trailer manufacturers make good trailers. But the king sides are pretty cool...

My dump has those sides, I usually get 5t of material when I go the quarry, it's a 16x8 and the material doesn't even really sit on the flared out section. 5t of gravel isn't much volume!

One day I want to upgrade to 8k drop axles to get the load height down.
