Mopar - D Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 My Super Bee Trucking fleet needed a bottom dump trailer and seeing that there’s no bottom dump trailer kits I decided to design and scratch built my own. I used the Load King trailer for my reference data on the dimensions and style of the trailer. There’s a WIP post of the building of the trailer. The fifth wheel plate pivot’s, the bottom gates open, landing legs are adjustable and the load tarp opens and closes. I’m starting on a Dodge LS1000 day cab to pull this. The Frightliner and Mack used in the pictures already have dump trailers. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 The metal finish on the trailer is perfect, it looks just like the real thing. The dumping mechanism looks great as does the cab. Great model overall. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been able to watch these types of trailers working close to where I live and it’s amazing how much dirt they bring in to a area very quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
