Expert Answers about Dump Trailer Parts


  • Could Winch Wiring Kit be Used to Charge Dump Trailer Battery
  • To actually put a decent charge on your battery throughout the day the answer is a heavier gauge charge wire like what the part # BDW20207 has. This will carry enough amperage to put a solid charge on the battery between dumps. Normally this kit is used to power a winch but in your case it would work well. I would run this to the battery and not the pump. If I were you I wouldn't want the alternator of my vehicle powering a dump trailer. So running this to the battery allows the battery...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Ford F-550 Cab and Chassis with Dump Body
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15845 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for a 2016 Ford F-550 cab and chassis with frame rails spaced 34" apart (outside to outside). However, Curt does not test this trailer hitch with dump body trucks nor are all dump bodies the same so I would not be able to confirm fit 100%. However, the distance from the mounting flange on the trailer hitch to the top of the receiver tube is around 6" which you should be able to use in addition to the frame...

  • Correct Replacement Braking Assemblies for 2008 PJ 12,000 Lb Dump Trailer
  • In order to choose the correct replacement braking assemblies for a 2008 PJ Dump Trailer you'll need to know the axle capacity. It looks like most trailers of this size have anywhere from a 5,200 lb to 7,000 lb axle and in which case you'd need to use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA.

  • Can Hinge Pin # HP34412G Be Used on Dump Trailer
  • While the Hinge Pin # HP34412G doesn't list an official weight capacity, it's 3/4" steel construction features a really high shear strength (well over 2,000 pounds). With this in mind it should be plenty capable for use on your dump trailer.

  • Blue Ox Weight Distribution System for Kaufman Dump Trailer that Has Rating of up to 10k lb
  • Assuming your dump trailer would be near it's gross trailer weight of 10,000 lbs the higher rated Blue Ox TrackPro part # BLU35FR would be the better option as it has a tongue weight range of 1,000-1,300 lbs. But with dump trailers it can be challenging to use a weight distribution system since the way the system is setup is based completely on the tongue weight of the trailer and dump trailers have this figure vary quite a bit. You most likely will find that you'll have to have the bars...

  • Can Electric Trailer Brake Controller Installl on Dump Truck that Has Hydro Brakes
  • You can install an electric brake controller on your dump truck that has hydro brakes and it will work just fine like with the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 that you referenced. This controller uses the stoplight circuit of the brake pedal to activate and then an inertia sensor at the same time to determine how hard to apply the trailer brakes so your hydro brakes would not be an issue at all.

  • Can The Dometic Portable Toilet Be Dumped At Campground Septic Dump Area
  • Yes, the Dometic Portable Camping Toilet part # DOM44FR can be used at the campgrounds dump station as long as you use the Dometic RV Toilet Essentials Kit part # DOM32FR which includes a holding tank treatment to break down the waste. There is a handy indicator that shows when the tank is full. When it shows full, simply pull up on a rear latch to separate the upper tank from the lower tank. Then you can take the tank to the authorized dumping station.

  • Cover for Big Tex Tandem Axle Single Ram Dump Trailer 70SR-10-5W
  • Thanks for that detailed info and there is a cover that will work for you, though the 15 foot length you mentioned is the total length, including the tongue/coupler, and covers are not meant to go over that part of the trailer. I looked up your specific trailer and it is a little over 10 feet long from the rear to the front edge. For that the cover I recommend is the Adco SFS AquaShed Cover for Bumper Pull Trailer - Up to 12' Long # 290-46002 which is designed for trailers from 10'1"...

  • Pintle Hitch Plate For 1997 Ford L8000 Dump Truck
  • The only option we have for a pintle hook plate that has D-rings attached for the 1997 Ford L8000 Dump truck is the fabrication plates like part # 3371809042 part # 3371809043 and part # 3371809040. These plates come with the D-rings to be welded on with additional gussets for strength. Then you would use Buyers Pintle Hook with Mounting Kit - Bolt On part # 33710042. We do not currently carry anything that is truly adjustable for the dump truck unless you have a 2" hitch. Then you could...

  • The Buyers Products Hitch Plate part # 3371809061A is a universal weld/bolt-on hitch plate. That said, the dimensions are geared towards Ford F-350/450/550 trucks so if this is what you have it would be a great option.

  • Water Resistant Tarp For 6' X 12' Dump Trailer
  • I recommend the Erickson Industrial-Grade Truck/Trailer Tarp # EM57042 as we do not currently carry a waterproof roll up trailer covering system. It is 10' X 12' to fit your 6' X 12' dump trailer. This cover has a polyethylene coating for water resistance and UV protection.

  • Will the Buyers Products Flatbed/Flatbed Dump Hitch Plate Bumper Fit a 2010 Ford F-350
  • The Buyers Products Flatbed/Flatbed Dump Hitch Plate Bumper with 2" Receiver part # 3371809055 is designed for a 34-1/2" frame. This is measured from the outside of the frame from one side to another. It will require welding or bolting or both in order to attach to the frame. The hitch is designed for flat-bed and dump trucks due to the lower receiver depth.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Adapter For Dump Trailer Towed By Short Bed Chevy 2500 With Fifth Wheel Rails
  • For short bed trucks, an offset goose neck ball is the best option to give additional clearance for the truck and dump trailer to make turns without interference. The height of the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16085 is about 7-1/2" above the fifth wheel rails. I recommend the Curt above-bed gooseneck trailer hitch part # 16055 with 3" offset for the 2004 Chevy 2500 because it will give you the offset that you need for clearance. Plus the Curt plate adapter...

  • Can I Equip A Dump Truck With Air Brakes With An Electric Brake Controller
  • Yes, if you plug the pigtail for the electric brakes into the plug used for your air brakes, you will lockup the brakes on your trailer. I believe it is a fail safe, so you are not operating the dump truck with the incorrect brake setup. You will need a brake controller that is compatible with your air brakes and electric brakes. We do offer a brake controller that works with air brakes and trailers with electric, or electric over hydraulic, brakes. It is the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer...

  • Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly for 7K Axles on a Triple Crown Dump Trailer
  • The way that you would find the correct replacement hub and drum assembly is by looking at the bearings. If the bearing numbers for # AKHD-865-7-2-K match what you have (and everything else is the same) then this is the right hub for you. The "865" part of the part number is also a good indicator. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

  • Will Dexter Axle Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit K71-359-00 Work on Dump Trailer with 5,200 Pound Axles
  • If your trailer uses 1-3/4 inch wide double-eye springs AND the axles are spaced approximately 33 inches apart on center then you can use Dexter Axle Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # K71-359-00 on your dump trailer with 5,200 pound axles. If your springs and/or axle spacing do not match up then let me know the measurements and I can determine if there are other options.

  • Determining Which Heavy Duty Receiver Fits 2009 Isuzu NPR W/ Dump Bed
  • There are a few options that may fit your 2009 Isuzu NPR with a dump bed, but there are no options that are confirmed to fit. The Buyers Products Flatbed/Flatbed Dump Hitch Plate Bumper with 2" Receiver # 3371809055 is designed to fit trucks with a 34" wide frame and will need to welded and bolted to the frame. This hitch plate has a 17000lb trailer weight rating, and the 2" receiver tube you were looking for. Another possible option is the # 41990-16 as it has 16" tall brackets, fits...

  • Drive Motor Compatibility with Jack on Gooseneck Dump Trailer
  • The Bulldog Powered-Drive Kit for OEM 2-Speed Planetary Jacks w/ 12,000-lb Capacity # BD1824180100 will mount to the opposite side of the jack from your manual crank and gear box. You can use the motor for dual jacks but it will require some fabrication as you stated. I've attached the installation instructions to assist with that application.
