My new bottom dump trailer (update)

I received a package from Izzy and 4 hours later I now have a working prototype bottom dump trailer. Here are some pics.

Re: My new trailer

Thanks guys but Izzy deserves the credit I just kit bashed a flat bed kit and put it together. Brian the rails are from the flat bed kit you just have to cut a small section from the middle and bolt them to the bottom plate. Basically you just bolt the flatbed from the rails down to the new bottom plate of the bottom dump kit. Izzy did a great job all of the holes are there in the bottom plate just bolt it together and go.

Re: My new trailer

Wow very nice all I have heard does not beat what the picks look like.. Looks great..Nice work Izzy!

Re: My new trailer

Nice to see something a little different now and then! I can practically imagine that trailer dumping it's load over the heater duct vent, on the floor, just underneath the trailer. Nice!

Re: My new trailer

really a great idea using the stock flat bed kit

Re: My new trailer

I didn't even think about it when I took the picture.:D

Re: My new trailer

Can you get a shot of the inside of the body maybe with the clam shell open? It looks great.

Re: My new trailer

I will get one this weekend.:p:p:D

Re: My new trailer

yea we need a video Travis but my question is if you haul dirt in it make wouldn't you want a slide in blade that goes in in front of the tandems to grade it out as you go lol i really thought most bottom dumps were for grain .......just what lil i knew:)

Re: My new trailer

Sharp looking trailer!!

Re: My new trailer

Travis any chance you have a video?

Re: My new trailer

No it was to wet to play in the dirt if the rain holds off for a couple days I will try to get one this week. If It rains I will bring a bag of dads mulch in the garage and do a video with that.

Re: My new trailer

Travis, that is really nice cant wait to see it under the conveyor belt at the next show.

Thanks BullDog but I don't think the trailer will make it to Jersey. I hope to have the Freightliner dump done for the show.

Here is a video of the trailer, now it is not the best video I have a hard time running two radios and a camera but here you go. The doors open evenly when there is a load in it but empty it will open the one with the least resistance first but I am very happy with how it works especially considering how wet the dirt was.

Re: My new trailer

Thanks Alfy, Izzy really nailed this trailer. I can't wait for Indy to give it a good work out.:D

Travis

Re: My new trailer

Uh, yeah.... that's just very cool. Nice work Chris...I mean REALLY well done!

And hey nice job not running your rig off the cliff Travis. :p;):D

Re: My new trailer

Ya I really need a bigger place to run the equipment. I may start using the loader and dumps to help dad spread mulch in the train garden. We can load the train as well and he can use his dump car to get to the areas a truck won't go.

Travis

Re: My new trailer

That is a good dump pattern laid down. Where is the grader to smooth things out??

Nice work on the trailer.
