Re: Dump Trailers?


We tend to use builders skips which are 8yders, the hardest thing in this country is to get rid of your waste!, you cant just load up your van and take it to the tip as your charged industrial waste prices.
The cost of a skip is £130.00 ave plus tax @15% ($210.00 +tax)
Cheers
Dave
P.S. No wonder fly tipping is such a big problem in this country!

Hi User, I paid $30,000.00 for this. I wish I had 3 more. I could'nt in good conciense pay $ 30,000.00 for a glorified dump trailer. If a trailer can fit, my truck can fit, and a lot more moble.

Re: Dump Trailers?


I've been contemplating getting one of these roofing buggy's but would rather have a lift\dump trailer.
has anyone had any experience with one of these?
www.linco.com/ascirztr.htm
it only lifts 6 ft and I would like to have at least a 10 ft reach
can anyone recommend a different one?

Re: Dump Trailers?


I would buy a lift way before a roofing buggy.

Got a couple 15 yard dump trailers and can get 60 squares in them. Most loads are 35-45 squares which gives me plenty of room for toe holds.

The dump trailers have been my companies best investment.

Re: Dump Trailers?


A lift with a 20ft basket will get more done than an equiptor or whatever the heck they are called. The only downside to the lift is large narrow tires but they are four by four so they will go most anywere. A framer friend of mine has one that has a reach of about 30ft.

If I did more steep new roofs I'd buy the lift and have a large basket custom made.

A skid steer whould be nice too but the lift is the KING.
