Dump Trailer Rental in Troy, IL for Yard Cleanups
A yard cleanup can create a surprising amount of material. Branches, brush, dirt, old landscaping material and other debris are difficult to move with a pickup alone.
That's where a dump trailer can make the job much easier.
When Does a Yard Cleanup Need a Dump Trailer?
A dump trailer is especially useful when you're dealing with material that is:
- Heavy
- Loose
- Bulky
- Difficult to carry
- Difficult to unload by hand
The hydraulic dump function is the biggest advantage. Instead of unloading everything with a shovel or by hand, you can raise the trailer bed and let the material out.
What Can You Haul?
Depending on the trailer's capacity and your local disposal requirements, a dump trailer can be useful for:
- Brush and yard debris
- Dirt
- Gravel
- Mulch
- Landscaping materials
- Renovation debris
- Property cleanout material
Always check the trailer's capacity before loading heavy materials such as dirt or gravel.
How Do You Choose the Right Size?
The amount and weight of your material matter more than simply choosing the biggest trailer available.
KD Trailer Rentals offers a 5x10 dump trailer rated for 6,000 pounds and a 7x14 model rated for up to 12,000 pounds when properly towed by a 3/4-ton or larger vehicle.
If you're not sure what your vehicle can safely tow, check the towing requirements guide first.
Dump Trailer or Dumpster?
They're not the same solution.
A dumpster is delivered to your property and picked up later. With a dump trailer, you tow the trailer yourself and take the material where it needs to go.
For some projects, the ability to load, transport, and unload the trailer yourself is exactly what makes a dump trailer useful.
