Dump Trailers in Tulsa, OK

Two things about the ground here. It is clay, and underneath the clay it is rock. Both weigh more per cubic yard than people expect, which is why the dump trailers we stock in Tulsa are specified at the heavy end rather than the convenient end.

The build

• Floors and walls in 10-gauge steel - on a dump the steel is the box itself, not a frame under a skin
• Hydraulic lift that powers both up and down, worked from a handheld control
• Its own housed battery, kept charged by the tow vehicle between loads
• Tandem axles with brakes, ramps for walk-behind equipment, and a tarp kit option

Three jobs this trailer does in Tulsa

Excavation and concrete work runs all year - spoil out, base rock in, and neither is light. Landscape and hardscape crews move soil, gravel, and stone through the continuing build-out in Jenks, Bixby, and Owasso. And then there is the third job, which arrives without warning: when an ice storm comes through Green Country, limb and debris hauling becomes the only work anyone in the metro is doing for a two weeks, and the crews with dump trailers are the ones taking those calls.

Clean-outs and junk removal

A steady share of these go to clean-out and junk-removal operations rather than to construction. If you are weighing a rented dumpster against owning a dump trailer, the trailer pays for itself on any route you repeat, and it is yours on a Sunday.

Which size

A 5x10 or 6x10 is enough for a homeowner clearing a property or a two-person crew on residential work. A 6x12 is the volume seller and handles most commercial loads. The 7x14 is what an outfit buys once it works out that a second trip costs more than the bigger trailer did - and the 7x16, the sixteen-footer people ring up about by name, is the one that ends the argument entirely. Bumper-pull throughout, in 7K, 10K, and 14K ratings. Interstate dump models are worth asking about specifically - see why Interstate.

Hydraulics and brakes are the two systems worth having eyes on regularly. Both are covered in the two complimentary 40-point safety inspections that come with every new trailer, at 12 and 24 months, done here on West 41st Street.

The sixteen-footer, and why it comes up so often

Searches for a 16-foot dump are among the most common this store sees, in every phrasing people can think of. The trailer they mean is the 7x16. It is what an outfit buys once it works out that the second trip costs more in a day than the bigger trailer cost over a year.

Ratings

7K, 10K and 14K, bumper pull throughout. Rating rather than body size is what limits most loads here, because red dirt, gravel and wet debris are all heavy for their volume.

Gates

A barn gate opens wide for bulky material. A spreader gate meters material out as you drive, which matters if you are laying gravel rather than dropping it. Combination gates do both. Decide from the work rather than from the price list.
