Expert Answers about Dump Trailer Parts


  • Are The Dump Door Hinges Strong Enough To Support a Dump Tailgate Converted To Barn Style Door?
  • The Dump Door Hinge # PLR1904-Z was specifically designed for heavy duty dump trailers. The mounting bracket is manufactured from 1/4" steel and the 1/2" pin can handle a lot of weight. While the manufacturer does not give a particular weight capacity due to the length of the door having as much of an effect as the weight, you would want to make sure to use a reasonable amount of hinges on your doors. Obviously a 4' tall door would need more than just 2 hinges to properly support the weight...

  • Will Trailer Valet JXS Trailer Jack Work With Dump Trailer
  • The Trailer Valet JXS Trailer Jack # TV64FR would be a good option for your dump trailer. This has a lift capacity of 3,000 lbs and support capacity of 5,000 lbs so even if it is a 12k dump trailer it will be able to handle the tongue weight without a problem. I really like this jack since it comes with the power drill attachment so you don't have to manually crank it if you have a drill handy. As long as your frame is no larger than 4-3/4" tall x 3-3/4" deep this will work for you.

  • Recommended Motorized Trailer Jack For A Horizon HZ5 Dump Trailer
  • Hey Nick, With the GVWR of your Horizon HZ5 being over 7K we don't really have a good a-frame jack capable of handling the weight but you could mount a hydraulic jack with a motor like the Self-Contained Hydraulic Jack # e33VV. It has a 12,000lb capacity so it's more than capable of handling the loads you'll put in the trailer and comes with a corded remote control to activate the motor. It has a bolt on design so you'd be able to mount it to the center beam of the frame.

  • Can 100 ft Extension Cord be Used with Bright Way Battery Charger for Dump Trailer
  • Hey Ryan, thanks for reaching out! The only drawback you'll really see with a 100 ft extension cord and the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger # BRW77FR is that the charging might not be as effective as you would see with a smaller cord. This is simply from natural voltage drop that occurs over longer distances though so the only way to "fix" it would be to park your trailer closer to an outlet.

  • Can Polar Hardware Ramp Door Hinge Be Used On Dump Trailer
  • Hi Tim; the # PLR1902 can definitely be used on your 6 x 9 dump trailer. They don't have an exact capacity but will be able to handle whatever you're doing. Since they're similar to what you have now that would make them a great fit. The bracket measures 4" long x 2-5/8" wide x 1/4" thick and the pin is 8-3/16" long x 1" diameter. They also have that zerk fitting so they're easy to grease for smooth operation.
