End Dump Trailer and Dolly

[RCP57]

I got started on this a couple of days back. There is still a fair amount of work to do but it is coming along. Eventually, I will be building a matching dump box for the truck as well.

Is that normal up there? ? Seems a little long
To go behind a dump truck

[RCP57]

I don't know what the rules are in Alberta. The box is 24". Scales out to 28' i think. You know me, I just try to build what I'm asked to.lol I think it will be OK as the truck is a tri-drive and will have a 19" dump box. It's gonna haul a lot of dirt all together!

H€ll yeah!! We have a few baby dumps down here
They did heavy dirt over the bridges

Going to be following this one Already looks good keep it up!

Hey Mark I thought they did away with the 120 permits there and 80 was the max especially going over the bridges?

Sweet Reg! Hoe much does a dump trailer like this cost without the tarp set up?

Thanks RW. Yes you need a grapple skidder for sure! Probably could use it to pickup "logs" from your Great Dane too.lol

Probably around $1150-$1200USD using a flatbed trailer as a base like this one. In this case the customer already had the trailer so he shipped it to me to modify. That knocks around $200US off.

Tarp is all mounted up now...

I was out of the shop for a couple of weeks but have been back working away on this since Monday. Two long work days have this almost ready to go. Just a few small details this morning and then it will be torn down to receive it's velvet black powder coat.

I was asked to fit a stock King rear bumper to the trailer so I modified a stamped steel trailer bumper mount to except the KH bumper. It had to be lowered as well to clear the overhang when the box is up. The owner has a nice new bumper to put on. This old beater was just installed for testing...





Up front the "quad wagon" needed some shorty fenders so I made those up. I also made a plate to cover over the open frame. I gave a final "trim" to the ladder as well and mounted it up.





Next up was the dolly. I was provided a perfect set of KH rails with the axles but rather than waste them I decided to make a new set and only drill the necessary holes for a cleaner look.




Once the rails were ready and installed I got started on the drawbar and mount.




And finally, after making a couple of pintle hooks, a few pictures outside!

[bigford]

they dropped the 120 down to 117 with a 3% grace= 120 LOL

Wow reg! You just keep impressing me with your builds!! Looking pretty good!! I have to go revisit your skidded thread, I realized I could use one. Every time the wind blows small branches fall, and after watching one of your videos I realized that would be perfect for skidding branches!! Build another one of them and ship it to me for testing. .

Oops thought it was rcp compound thread, didn't want to derail the thread,

Looks great Reg. I'm building the same basic set up to pull behind my 6x6 dump, yours looks a lot better but Im having fun with it. I'm attempting to make my draw bar interchangeable so I can run the long stinger pulling the dump and a standard short hitch for pulling a set of doubles with the same dolly.

Awesome setup Reg
