Anyone who owns a private or commercial vehicle faces ever-increasing operating costs. Fuel is the main contributing factor, as well as increases in road fund fees. Many contractors say that to stay competitive they are streamlining their operations. One way they have found to do this is to invest in more flexible vehicles and machinery.
By adding a trailer to one or more of your current vehicles, you can increase capacity whenever you see fit. A larger vehicle that is not used to its full potential all the time becomes a financial waste of resources.
The residual values of used dump trailers have always remained high, making buying a trailer an excellent investment. The low maintenance schedule also means that, year after year, the costs of keeping a trailer on the road pale in comparison to the service and ITV costs associated with commercial vehicles.
Owning a dump trailer gives the user greater flexibility compared to a standard non-dump trailer. With mesh side extensions, over 200 cubic feet of transport volume is available, which can be of great benefit when transporting bulky goods or removing debris, etc. Another advantage of this trailer size is the increased maneuverability. Arranging a container delivery to a construction site is expensive and difficult if access is limited.
Many dump trailers also come with ring latches attached to the trailer bed. These are ideal for securing small items of plant machinery, such as excavators, that are easily transported to the dump truck through the use of heavy-duty ramps that store conveniently under the dump trailer bed, just behind the 2 dump boxes. tools.
Look for features like removable and adjustable partitions that allow you to carry loads without mixing them. You can also use the tipper function without having to unload the tools from the trailer, as long as you have stored them safely with the partitions.
Trailer security is a big issue and theft of any trailer is always a concern. Ask if your towing provider can provide aftermarket safety devices that have been approved by insurance carriers. Also, some providers have a free ownership registration scheme with each tipper trailer.
