Iron Panther Dump Trailers in San Jose, CA
Which Trailer Is Right For You?
While all trailers support the same basic functions—transporting freight and cargo—you may be surprised to find that each individual model often includes unique features to ensure it’s better suited for carrying specific types of cargo. While this is great for efficiency, figuring out which trailer is best suited for your specific freight can leave you wandering around the sales lot for hours. To ensure you walk away with the right trailer model for the job, we recommend reading our helpful buyer’s guide below.
Dump Trailers
Dump trailers are perfect for buyers looking to quickly load and unload their freight. While more commonly used to carry loose materials and debris, these trailers are also great for carrying extremely heavy items and equipment when the need arises. These trailers also have some of the fastest unloading times out there, thanks to their convenient lifting mechanisms which allow you to quickly place materials in an exact location.
Enclosed Trailers
Enclosed trailers are great for buyers looking to carry large loads of cargo. Because their beds are completely surrounded, you can easily stack items up on top of each other to ensure everything fits. Your cargo is also better protected from wind, rain, and theft thanks to this trailer’s enclosed bed, making it popular among buyers looking to carry delicate items.
Utility Trailers
Smaller than the average trailer, utility models are perfect for buyers looking to carry common items and equipment such as furniture or lawn equipment. While their weight capabilities are high, the trailers themselves are relatively lightweight, making them easy to tow behind your pick-up or SUV. Unlike other open-bed trailers, these models come with helpful open siding and ramps to ensure you can quickly and easily load and secure your freight when you’re in a rush.
Flatbed Trailers
Unlike utility trailers, flatbed trailers tend to be on the larger heavier side and are designed to carry bulkier items. Heavy equipment, vehicles, and building materials are all common cargo for this heavy-duty trailer, which are perfectly suited for the model's long open bed. Before you select a flatbed trailer off the lot, make sure you have a heavy-duty towing vehicle on hand, as well as some strong durable tie-down straps.
