How Many Yards of Dirt in a Side Dump Trailer?
How Many Yards of Dirt Work In a Side Dump Trailer?
Hauling is all about efficiency. When we haul loads of dirt, we need to make as few trips as possible in order to get the job done so we can move on to any number of other tasks that need to be handled. We make use of side dump trailers for this purpose, and of course we look at side dump trailer capacity numbers to do some math before we start. However, there’s more to it than that, as conditions are relevant considerations as well. How many yards of dirt go into a side dump trailer can change if the ground is wet and muddy or the terrain is especially hilly or bumpy – at least with many products from side dump trailer manufacturers.
That’s not necessarily the case with Demco. Our side dump landscape trailers perform in every set of conditions, and we’re sure that once you start working with us, you’ll wonder why you didn’t make that decision sooner. Below we’re going to lay out the side dump trailer specs of our entire line, so we hope you’ll become familiar with them and choose the model or models that best fit your needs.
The Tandem Axle Side Dump Trailer Specs
Demco’s tandem axle side dump trailer capacity is something to behold. We offer these models with air ride and spring ride suspensions to fit whatever your current hauling setup is, which means you won’t have to worry about how to get these trailers around. The air ride suspension model comes with trailer lengths of either 35 or 40 feet, and each can haul up to 21.4 cubic yard of material struck. These side dump trailers can do it all, including dump on either side, ride smoothly and change direction easily when compared to models from other side dump trailer manufacturers. The only other difference between these two models is the tub. The 40-foot trailer comes standard with a tub of 34 feet and the 35-foot trailer’s tub is 30 feet.
Demco also offers two models of side dump trailers with spring suspension. Like their tandem axle air ride suspension counterparts, they are offered in lengths of 35 and 40 feet. The 35-foot trailer also has a side dump trailer capacity of 21.4 cubic yards, but our 40-foot model can handle up to 24.2 cubic yard struck.
The Triple Axle Side Dump Trailer Specs
If you need something a bit sturdier in terms of number of axles, Demco has you covered with our Triple Axle Side Dump Trailer line. We offer eight models within our line of air ride suspension models, and the capacity for each is below:
- 35’ trailer with 30’ tub – 21.4 cubic yard struck
- 40’ trailer with 34’ tub – 24.2 cubic yard struck
- 42’ trailer with 34’ tub – 24.2 cubic yard struck
- 44’ trailer with 34’ tub – 24.2 cubic yard struck
- 44’ trailer with 37’ tub – 26.1 cubic yard struck
- 46’ trailer with 34’ tub – 24.2 cubic yard struck
Our 44’ with 34’ tub and 44’ with 37’ tub sizes each offer two models, so you can decide which side dump trailer specs work best for you based on those details. The bottom line with these high-end pieces of equipment, aside from seeing just how many yards of dirt fit in the side dump, is that they offer huge capabilities and offer endless levels of performance.
If you prefer or need spring ride suspension, Demco has several options in this regard as well. Below you’ll find the side dump trailer capacity for each:
- 35’ trailer with 30’ tub – 21.4 cubic yard struck
- 40’ trailer with 34’ tub – 24.2 cubic yard struck
- 42’ trailer with 34’ tub – 24.2 cubic yard struck
- 44’ trailer with 34’ tub – 24.2 cubic yard struck
The Quad Axle Side Dump Trailer Specs
Demco has a full inventory of quad axle models as well, and we offer them with air ride suspension. Their capacities are as follows:
- 44’ trailer with 34’ tub – 24.2 cubic yard struck
- 44’ trailer with 37’ tub – 26.1 cubic yard struck
Demco offers a second model that features a 44’ trailer with a 37’ tub, and it also has a side dump trailer capacity of 26.1 cubic yard struck, which should keep the number of loads you need to complete as low as possible.
The Quint Axle Side Dump Trailer Specs
If you need five axles on your side dump trailer, you clearly need a lot of stability. Demco can make that happen with our model CR445-AR-FLS-RL-3726. The side dump trailer capacity in this model is 26.1 cubic yard struck, and you get the same low center of gravity for ease of movement. Not to mention, you’ll only need 20 seconds to completely empty your load, so you won’t be wasting time waiting to get moving on your next haul.
Side Dump Truck Boxes
There are a lot of hauling jobs that need to be handled in relatively tight spaces. In those situations, the larger models detailed above may not be what you need. Demco offers a mount kit for shorter trailers so you can affix your side dump trailer to your tractor or truck’s chassis with ease and get moving. You won’t have to worry about fit or stability, and you’ll be able to save yourself a lot of time getting in and out of those smaller spaces with this functionality at your disposal.
Demco Trains
If you have a massive amount of material to haul, it may not make sense to try to tackle this job with just one side dump trailer. You may need more than one working for you at any given time. Demco offers a side dump train that will keep things moving on a job site, on your land or wherever else you need to do a lot of clearing and hauling, and do it quickly.
All in all, Demco has the answer almost no matter how many yards of dirt you need to fit in a side dump trailer. We provide top-of-industry quality and customer service, and if you’d like to take a look at any of these models in more detail, feel free to do so here. In the meantime, we look forward to serving your hauling and dumping needs well into the future.
