Buying a dump trailer in Greenville, SC
How to choose a dump trailer
Two numbers decide most of it: the GVWR (the trailer total rated weight, loaded) and the bed size. Subtract the empty weight from the GVWR and you get the payload rating, which is what is left for the load itself; check that figure against what you plan to haul before you buy. For light yard and landscape work a 7x14 in the 14,000 lb class is the common pick. For daily commercial loads and heavier equipment, step up to a 7x16 in the 14K to 25K range. If you tow with a one-ton or run a gooseneck, the higher-GVWR gooseneck models give you more bed and a steadier tow.
Hydraulics and gates
The hoist is the heart of a dump trailer. A scissor hoist is the standard on most of what we carry and handles everyday loads well; a telescopic hoist reaches a steeper dump angle and clears wet, sticky material like clay or fresh gravel more cleanly. The rear gate matters just as much: a two-way gate opens as barn doors to load equipment over slide-in ramps, or swings as a spreader gate to lay gravel and stone in an even row as you pull forward. Match the hoist and gate to the work, not just the price.
Sizes we stock
Most of our dump inventory runs 7x14 and 7x16 tandem-axle in the 14,000 to 25,000 lb GVWR classes, with low-profile decks on the heavier models to keep loading height down. Stock changes as trailers sell, so the listings above show exactly what is on the lot in Greenville today.
Brands we carry
We stock dump trailers from PJ Trailers, Watchdog, and Durahaul, among others. PJ builds a deep dump line from light-duty to gooseneck telescopic models on a heavy I-beam frame. See each maker full lineup on our brand catalogs.
Rent-to-own and financing
Every dump trailer we sell can be financed, or taken home rent-to-own with no credit check. Rent-to-own is the route a lot of contractors and landscapers use to put a trailer to work this week and pay for it as it earns. Ask us for the monthly figure on any unit.
Why buy local in Greenville
We are on White Horse Road in Greenville, so you can look at the frame, work the gate, and talk through the hoist in person before you decide, and we handle the tag and title paperwork here. If something needs service down the road, the shop is the same place you bought it.
Frequently asked questions
What size dump trailer do I need?
For yard and landscape work a 7x14 in the 14K class covers most jobs. For daily commercial loads or heavier equipment, a 7x16 in the 14K to 25K range gives you more payload and bed. Match the GVWR to your loaded weight, not the bed size alone.
Scissor hoist or telescopic?
A scissor hoist is standard and handles everyday loads. A telescopic hoist reaches a steeper angle and empties wet or sticky material more cleanly, so if you haul clay, fresh gravel, or wet mulch often, it is worth it.
Can I get a dump trailer with no credit check?
Yes. Every dump trailer we carry is available rent-to-own with no credit check, alongside conventional financing. Ask us for the monthly on any unit.
What can a dump trailer haul?
That depends on the trailer payload rating (its GVWR minus its empty weight) and your tow vehicle. We list the GVWR and weights on every unit; check them against your load and your truck before you buy.
Do you deliver, or do I pick up in Greenville?
