About Material-Handling Trailers

Material-handling trailers are versatile enough to haul silage, haylage, grain, rock, dirt, and virtually any other type of material on a farm or acreage. This category includes several types of equipment, including dropside, tipper, and dump trailers, as well as dump carts. Because models vary widely, material-handling trailers may have low or high walls, with maximum capacities of anywhere from 3,000 up to 100,000 pounds (1,361 to 45,359 kilograms) or more.

Fleming TR14 Material-Handling Trailer

These specifications mean that one type of trailer may be better-suited for an application than another. For example, a high-walled unit may be able to carry more silage with less chance of it falling off or blowing away, while a unit with low walls may be lighter and therefore able to handle larger load capacities. Trailers where all of the side walls drop also serve a special purpose, as they offer more options for loading and unloading rocks and other materials, providing all-around access to skid steers, loaders, and other equipment.

Holmes Welding & Fabrication is a manufacturer based in Hudson, Iowa, that sells a wide range of equipment; its tractor-towed dump wagons work well as material-handling trailers and can handle load capacities of between 25 and 40 tons (22.7 and 36.3 metric tons).
