Dump Trailers | How to Calculate Load Volume

brianr — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:15:09 +0000

The volume of dump trailers is measured in cubic yards. The volume represents the space enclosed by the bed and walls of the dump trailer. In order to calculate the volume, you need to know the length, width and height of the dump trailer. When the side walls are not as tall as the front and rear walls, you should calculate the without boards height, based on the side wall height, and the with boards height, using the front and rear walls.

Measure the length of the dump trailer in yards.

Measure the width of the dump trailer in yards. Measure from the inside edge of one side to the inside edge of the other side rather than the outsides of the trailer.

Measure the height of the dump trailer walls. If the sides are shorter than the nose or tail, you will have to calculate two volumes. For example, if the nose and tail are one yard high but the sides are 0.75 yards high, you would use 0.75 yards to calculate that “without boards” volume and one yard to calculate the “with boards” volume.

Multiply the length times the width times the height to calculate the volume of the dump trailer. If you have two different heights, calculate the volume twice, once with each measurement. For example, if your width was two yards, the length was three yards and the height was 0.5 yards, the volume would be three cubic yards.

Tips:

If a measurement is in inches, you can convert it to yards by dividing by 36. For example, 18 inches would be 0.5 yards.
If a measurement is in feet, you can convert it to yards by dividing by 3. For example, 2 feet would be about 0.67 yards.

Hurricane Katrina Cannott Slow Down An ALL PRO Dump Trailer

Mark Fleischer — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:32:43 +0000

It’s been over four years since Hurricane Katrina dealt her devastating blow to the Gulf Coast. This was the without a doubt the largest spike in Dump Trailer sales Florida or the country has ever seen. This event really was a chance for companies like ALL PRO Trailers to really show what our heavy duty dump trailers could do. From August of 2006 through June of 2007 we ran our plants as hard as the men and material would let us.

We lost count, but between our Starke Florida plan Formerly Crosley Trailers building 6 x 7 wide dumps, and the Jacksonville plant building the big 8 x 20 10 ton dumps we supplied over 3000 trailers into the disaster relief industry. Since that time we have continued to improve these trailers and they have become a mainline tool for the roofing industry, as well as the underground construction guys.

Lots of people from gardeners to crime scene cleanup crews have found profitable uses for our trailers. Attached I have posted a couple of photos of one of our 8 x 20 dump trailers in of a mountain of debris, and another Cargo trailer as it is used by an environmental cleanup contractor. I found these photos in the September 2006 issue of Underground Construction Ucononline.com a publication that services all types of underground construction.

ALL PRO Trailers Flagship dump trailer

Here at ALL PRO Trailers in keeping with our goal of being a leader in the trailer Industry we are showing our Storm Clean Up Special. ALL PRO Trailers has been building dump trailers to service the construction, agriculture, and golf course industries for 13 years. Now we ad the Big Daddy of dump trailers engineered for the hurricane and winter Ice storm cleanup clean up industries. Our engineering staff has combined the versatility of the medium duty pickups, with the endurance of heavy-duty dump trucks, and the lifting power of a high quality log loading style grapple crane. This trailer provides the clean up crews with a huge advantage as it allows you to pickup roadside trash and debris with blocking the whole road like has to be done when loading trailers with a separate piece of equipment such as a skid steer or loader.

What a great labor saver, now you only need one truck and one trailer to be a complete crew! Just look at the fuel and labor savings, not to mention liability and insurance issues.

We have teamed up with one of North Americas premier logging equipment manufactures to provide this self powered self loading dump trailer. We use a very reliable Honda engine to power the hydraulic system. The loader is installed with telescopic stabilizer legs to steady the trailer while loading. With a heavy-duty scissors hoist to lift the dump body for unloading the ALL PRO Trailers super dump you can greatly lower you cycle time from neighborhood to recycling yard.

The same technology we used to design this unit can be used to custom build trash trucks, or other types of trailer applications. If you have a use or idea for this unit please contact one of our ALL PRO Trailers solution specialists today.
