I'm happy to see so much positive response to this. The shape of this trailer was difficult for me to form with my equipment so it took a lot of fiddling around to get it where it is. In the end I really like it and it was an interesting challenge.

Doggy, I make the screw drives for these trailers. They consist of a threaded shaft with prop rod and a high torque planetary motor.

It's a beautiful day here today so I took Mark's trailer outside one last time before it makes it's way across the continent. No action shots this time though...

Greasy is good Reg. That means maybe the material won't stick in the box and prevent it from laying on its side!

Sorry to hear you lost your pics Mark. That's a real bummer.

I heard of truckers applying stuff on their dump boxes when building roads with ashphalt. Do you use anything on your 1:1 dumper Mark to help material slide better ? Think I would use Armor-all before trying Pam on my trailer lol!
