The good single cylinder dumps use a scissor looking setup. That creates a mechanical advantage. I haven't had any issues with mine not being able to dump a heavy load.
One of the issues with the two cylinder dumps is they mount the cylinders by the outside of the box. If a cylinder or hose fails it can cause the trailer to twist. Thats why semi dumps have their cylinders mounted in the center.
It takes a heavier duty frame for the single cylinder set up.
Look at several brands. You'll see allot of differences in the quality and in the details. Pay particular attention to the size of the frame, how the cylinder is mounted, the tail gate, and how the rear uprights are built.
My trailer ran $7700 out the door. I could have saved a third or more by going with another brand, but I would probably be looking at having to replace it by now.
I couldn't believe the difference in quality between the various manufacturers until I shopped around.
