On any given jobsite, material is constantly moving. Dirt, gravel, debris, and demolition waste all need to be hauled in, moved around, and taken out efficiently. That’s where a dump trailer earns its place!
Felling’s hydraulic dump trailers are built specifically for that purpose, delivering reliable material handling across construction, landscaping, and municipal applications. They’re designed to perform under load, day after day, with the durability and hydraulic efficiency crews depend on.
At the same time, real work isn’t always one-dimensional. Crews often need to move small equipment along with material, and in the right setup, some dump trailers can support that kind of flexibility.

Dump Trailers – Built First for Material
At their core, dump trailers are material haulers. Everything about their design reflects that.
From the hydraulic lift system to the bed construction, these trailers are engineered to:
- Haul loose material efficiently
- Dump quickly and safely
- Handle repeated, heavy-duty use
Felling offers a range of dump trailer models to match different job demands, including standard, heavy-duty, deck-over, and side-dump configurations. Each one is built with a clear focus on performance, durability, and ease of use in real jobsite conditions!
Where Equipment Transport Fits In
While material hauling is the primary function, some Felling dump trailer configurations allow crews to transport small or compact equipment when needed. This isn’t about redefining what a dump trailer is, but about how it can be used in certain situations.
For example:
- A crew may bring a skid steer or mini loader to the site
- Use it for grading or cleanup
- Then load debris into the same trailer for removal
That kind of workflow can be handled with one trailer, as long as the equipment is appropriately sized and the trailer is properly equipped.
Dump Trailer Features That Support Versatility
Not every dump trailer is suited for anything beyond material. The ability to handle additional jobsite tasks comes down to how the trailer is designed. Felling’s dump trailer lineup stands out because each model offers a different set of features tailored to how crews actually work.
Ramps for Loading
Select Felling dump trailer models include slide-out ramps for loading compact equipment when needed. While not designed as equipment haulers, this adds flexibility for transporting small machines like skid steers or mowers.

Heavy-Duty Construction
Felling dump trailers are built for tough environments with durable construction for heavy material loads! That same strength allows certain models to handle compact equipment when used appropriately.
Hydraulic Performance That Keeps Work Moving
At the core of every dump trailer is the hydraulic system. Felling’s trailers are designed for controlled, efficient dumping, helping crews unload quickly and get to the next task.
On jobs where time matters, that efficiency is just as valuable as capacity.
Dump Trailer Options Built for Different Job Needs
Felling Trailers offers several dump-trailer configurations to meet different job needs. The stationary platform dump trailer adds a front platform for equipment while keeping the dump box available for material, making it ideal for jobs that require both. The DT and DT HD series are built for heavy-duty construction use, with the DT HD featuring slide-out ramps and reinforced construction for added flexibility when transporting compact equipment. The deck-over dump series positions the box above the wheels to provide a wider bed and increased capacity, with options that improve access for loading bulk material. The side dump trailer is designed for efficient material placement, allowing operators to dump from the side while maintaining usable deck space for tools or small equipment.
When It Makes Sense
Using a dump trailer this way makes the most sense in operations where flexibility matters!
Landscaping
Transport a mower or compact loader to the site, complete the work, then haul away clippings, soil, or debris. This keeps crews moving between jobs without switching trailers or making extra trips.
Construction
Bring a skid steer to prep the site or move material, then use the dump function to load out debris. It’s a practical way to handle both setup and cleanup with one piece of equipment.
Municipal Work
Support a range of tasks, from transporting small equipment for repairs to clearing storm debris. One trailer helps crews stay efficient when priorities shift throughout the day.
What Sets Felling Apart
Felling’s advantage isn’t trying to make one trailer do everything. It’s building dump trailers that perform reliably in their intended role, while offering configurations that support how work actually happens!
At their core, Felling dump trailers are designed to move material efficiently, and they do it well. That’s their purpose and their strength. What sets them apart is the added flexibility built into the lineup. With multiple models and customization options, crews can choose a trailer that fits their workflow, whether that’s focused strictly on material hauling or expanded to handle occasional equipment transport.
In the right configuration, and with the right equipment, a dump trailer can support more than just material movement. That balance between purpose and versatility is what makes a Felling dump trailer a practical, dependable tool for real-world work!
