Overall Width 82 - 96 in (2.08 - 2.44 m) Typically 83" (2.11m) or 96" (2.44m) for road legality.
Overall Height (Lowered) 50 - 65 in (1.27 - 1.65 m) Height to top of sides in transport position.
Bed Length (Inside) 14 - 20 ft (4.3 - 6.1 m) Usable load floor length.
Bed Width (Inside) 78 - 92 in (1.98 - 2.34 m) Usable load floor width, usually 6-8" narrower than overall width.
Side Height 24 - 48 in (0.61 - 1.22 m) Common heights: 24", 30", 36", 48". Higher = more volume.
Dump Angle 45° - 55° Angle at full lift for material discharge.
Ground Clearance 14 - 20 in (0.36 - 0.51 m) Under axle(s) / suspension.
Weight & Capacity Payload Capacity 10,000 - 25,000 lbs (4,500 - 11,300 kg) Critical Spec: Max weight of cargo it can safely carry.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) 14,000 - 30,000+ lbs (6,350 - 13,600+ kg) Max total allowable weight (Trailer + Cargo).
Empty Weight (Tare) 4,000 - 8,000 lbs (1,800 - 3,600 kg) Weight of the trailer itself.
Hydraulic System Pump Type Power Take-Off (PTO) / Electric / Hydraulic Pump Unit (HPU) Power source for hydraulics. PTO most common for heavy-duty.
Cylinder Type Telescopic (2-Stage or 3-Stage) / Single Acting Telescopic allows higher lift in confined space.
Cylinder Bore & Stroke e.g., 5" Bore / Long Stroke Specifics vary by lift capacity & design.
Lift Capacity Matches or exceeds GVWR Force generated by cylinder(s).
Lift Time (Full Cycle) 15 - 45 seconds Time from bed down to full dump position and back down.
Reservoir Capacity 5 - 15 Gallons (19 - 57 Liters) Holds hydraulic fluid.
Structural Specs Frame Construction Channel / I-Beam Main Rails High-strength steel (e.g., A36, T1).
Bed Construction Steel Plate (10-14 GA) / AR400 / Hardox Floor and sides. Thicker/heavier steel for abrasion resistance.
Suspension Type Leaf Spring / Torsion Axle / Air Ride Leaf spring most common. Axle count determines capacity.
Axle Configuration Single Axle / Tandem Axle (2) / Triple Axle (3) Determines weight distribution and GVWR.
Axle Capacity (per Axle) 6,000 lbs / 7,000 lbs / 8,000 lbs / 10,000 lbs Common ratings. Sum of axle capacities >= GVWR.
Brakes Electric / Hydraulic Surge / Air Electric brakes (one or more axles) are standard on road-going models.
