Bottom dump trailers for haulers who spread road base, gravel and sand in a row. Rent by the month or lease for a longer contract, with pickup in Dallas.
A belly dump, also called a bottom dump, unloads through gates in the bottom of the trailer instead of tipping the bed. The driver opens the gates while rolling forward, so the load comes out in a neat row (a windrow) that a grader or dozer spreads.
They're not the right trailer for big rock, wet clay or demolition debris, which can jam the gates. For that work, an end dump trailer is the better pick.
| Belly dump | End dump | |
|---|---|---|
| How it unloads | Gates in the bottom, while moving | Bed lifts, load slides out the back |
| Best loads | Road base, gravel, sand | Dirt, rock, asphalt, demo, aggregate |
| Tipping risk | Low (bed never raises) | Needs level ground to dump |
| Tractor needs | Air for the gates | Wet kit for the hydraulic cylinder |
Belly dump rentals are usually priced by the month, close to end dump rates, and longer terms bring the monthly price down. Call (469) 620-8263 for the current rate and availability, or see the rental rates guide.
Air-operated gates in the bottom of the trailer open while the truck rolls forward at a slow, steady speed. The width and depth of the row depends on how far the gates open and how fast you drive.
Usually a valid Class A CDL, a tractor with the right air hookups, proof of commercial insurance and a deposit at pickup.
Ask when you call. Lease-to-own plans are common for end dumps and are sometimes available for bottom dumps. See lease to own.
