30' dump trailer

TripleRange · Feb 23, 2009

I found a 30' dump trailer, steel frame with aluminum box...grain style end gate, hydro reservoir on front. Overall condition is fair...tires good. What's it worth?

We sold a couple of late 60"s early 70"s 26 foot Schien"s last year. One had a spread axle. Thin bed. The other had a bad axle, bearing went out and driver kept going. Got $3000 each.

HARD TO SAY WITH OUT MORE INFO [MAKE,YEAR,HOW MANY AXLES]. BUT I'LL DO MY BEST. EAST,MAC,FRUEHAUF,CITY,RHOADES,ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON. ALL HAVE THERE GOOD&BAD POINTS. SOME THINGS TO LOOK FOR.DUMP PINS[ARE THEY SLOOPY? ABOUT 1500-2000 TO REPLACE]. FRUEHAUF TRAILERS HAVE PRO PAR AXLES WHICH ARE GOOD UNLESS BENT[THEY TEND TO BEND AT THE AXLE STUB WHERE THEY MEET THE TUBE].NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND BUT PRICEY.AXLES ARE EASEY TO TELL,THE AXLE TUBE IS SQUARE. EAST AND MAC ARE PRETTY GOOD ALL AROUND TRAILERS.TRAILERS SHOUD GO FOR 6000-15000. THIS HAS BEEN MY EXPIRENCE IN THE GRAVEL HAULING,MECHANIC BUSSINESS OF 15YEARS HOPE THIS HELPS. BEWARE OF THE PAINT JOB REBUILDS[PAINT HIDES A MULTITUDE OF EVEILS]!

Ball park would be $10k and up depending on condition. I bought a 30' Cobra from a buddy for $11,500 two years ago. Cobra's seem to be stout trailers and the AL seems to keep clean real well. He has a rebuild cylinder, new brakes, new center point suspension, newer tarp, and good tires all around. Got a heck of a deal.
