Homemade dump trailer using scissorlift

[@jasonlife5789]

I was planning on building my own dump trailer so I came on KZbin to get some ideas . Thanks for the video very impressive

That's a great homemade dump trailer. However, it doesn't look strong enough to dump 4.5 tons of dirt off the back!

Ended up scraping the lift idea. Once there was wieght on the trailer it started to bend the trailer down at the base of the winch mount. I welded on a harbor freight drag mat. It pulls the load off the trailer. Faster then unloading by hand but not as handy as a dump.

americanexceptionalist.org can you still send pictures? I’m setting up on a fifth wheel and won’t have that problem. What I need are pictures of your scissor lift,

Sorry for the late reply, it got put on the back burner sadly but hoping to get started soon

I can post email once you see this I’ll keep checking back thank you

Let me see if i can find the part, I cut it off but think its still laying around.

I'm trying to build a trailer exactly like this and I've been searching everywhere and finally found the design I had in my head! Can you take some pictures of your scissor lift part and show me so I can come up with something myself?

How is it holding up

[@hwystitch]

trailer works great but scrapped the scissor lift part. the pressure on the tang of the trailer started to bend it with a full load so I just use a roll tarp from harbor freight under the load to quickly off load.
