By PrimeHaul Trailers  |  Updated May 2026  |  8 min read 

Quick Summary 

Looking for used dump trailers for sale? This guide covers everything you need to know — from sizes and brands to what to inspect before you buy, how to find deals near you, and where to get flexible financing. Whether you need a low-profile landscaping trailer or a heavy-duty end dump, PrimeHaul Trailers has you covered. 

If you’re in the market for used dump trailers for sale, you’re making one of the smartest equipment investments a contractor, landscaper, or property owner can make. A quality used dump trailer gives you the same hauling power as a new model — at a fraction of the price — and when you buy from a reputable dealer like PrimeHaul Trailers, you know the unit has been inspected and is ready to work. 

At PrimeHaul Trailers, we carry a rotating inventory of used dump trailers for sale, alongside new models from top brands like Big Tex and BWise. Whether you’re looking for a compact 6×10 trailer for weekend projects or a heavy-duty tandem-axle unit for daily commercial hauling, this guide will help you find the right trailer at the right price. 

Why Buy a Used Dump Trailer? 

Before diving into what to look for, let’s talk about why buying used makes sense for so many buyers. 

• Significant cost savings: Used dump trailers typically sell for 20%–40% less than their new equivalents. That’s real money back in your pocket. 

• Faster ROI: A lower purchase price means the trailer pays for itself faster through jobs completed. 

• Proven reliability: A well-maintained used trailer has already passed the ‘break-in’ phase. You know what you’re getting. 

• Great for growing businesses: Buying used lets you add capacity to your fleet without overextending your budget. 

• Financing available: Used trailers at PrimeHaul qualify for our flexible financing programs — so you can still spread payments over time. 

The key is buying from a dealer who inspects their inventory — not a private seller with unknown history. That’s exactly what we do at PrimeHaul Trailers. 

Types of Used Dump Trailers for Sale 

Not all dump trailers are built the same. Here’s a breakdown of the main types you’ll find in our inventory and who each is best suited for. 

1. Low-Profile Dump Trailers 

Low-profile dump trailers sit closer to the ground, making them easier to load by hand or with a small loader. Popular sizes include 5×8, 6×10, and 6×12. These are perfect for: 

• Landscapers hauling mulch, soil, and plants 

• Homeowners tackling cleanup and renovation projects 

• Small contractors removing light debris 

Our used BWise low-profile dump trailers are among the most popular in this category — well-built, easy to tow, and available at competitive used pricing. 

2. High-Side Channel Frame Dump Trailers 

High-side trailers have taller walls, giving you significantly more volume per load. A 7×14 high-side can haul several tons of gravel, sand, or demolition material in a single trip. Best for: 

• General contractors and construction crews 

• Aggregate and material haulers 

• Anyone who needs to move high volumes per trip 

3. End Dump Trailers for Sale 

If you’re searching specifically for end dump trailers for sale, you’re looking at a class of trailers designed for heavy, bulk hauling. End dump trailers unload from the rear by tilting the entire bed, making them fast to unload and ideal for: 

• Gravel, crushed stone, and aggregate 

• Construction fill and demolition debris 

• Agricultural bulk material transport 

End dumps are a popular search because they’re the workhorse of material hauling. We carry both new and used end dump trailers for sale — check our inventory regularly as these move fast. 

4. Tandem Axle Dump Trailers 

Tandem axle trailers provide greater payload capacity and more stable towing at highway speeds. If you’re regularly hauling at or near maximum weight limits, a tandem axle unit is a must. Used tandem axle dump trailers offer exceptional value because the added axle increases the trailer’s useful life significantly. 

5. Single Axle Dump Trailers 

Single axle models are lighter, easier to maneuver, and cost less to maintain. They’re ideal for lighter loads and tighter job sites where a full tandem rig would be cumbersome. A great entry-level option for landscapers and property owners.

Pro Tip: How to Evaluate a Used Dump Trailer 

Before buying any used dump trailer, inspect these key items: (1) Frame — check for cracks, rust, or welds. (2) Hydraulic system — test the lift fully loaded. (3) Electrical — verify brake lights, running lights, and breakaway system. (4) Tires — check tread depth and sidewall condition. (5) Floor — look for cracks, rot, or rust-through. (6) Coupler and safety chains — ensure proper fit for your tow vehicle.

Top Brands — Used Dump Trailers Worth Buying 

Brand matters when shopping for used equipment. Some manufacturers are known for durability that holds up for decades; others cut corners that show up in year three. Here are the brands we trust: 

Big Tex Trailers 

Big Tex is one of the most recognized names in the trailer industry for good reason. Their dump trailers feature heavy-duty steel frames, powerful hydraulic systems, and excellent resale value. A used Big Tex dump trailer in good condition is an outstanding buy. 

BWise Trailers 

BWise offers innovative features like adjustable-height couplers and multiple gate configurations at a competitive price point. Their low-profile dump trailers are particularly popular for landscaping and general use. BWise holds up well over years of heavy service. 

Premier Trailers 

Premier caters to buyers who want premium craftsmanship and heavy-duty construction. A used Premier dump trailer represents excellent value because these units are built to last well beyond the typical service life of a standard trailer. 

Dump Trailers for Sale — New vs. Used: Which Is Right for You? 

If you’re still on the fence about whether to buy new or used, here’s a quick comparison: 

• Buy NEW if: You want the latest features, full warranty, specific custom configuration, or plan to finance with the lowest rate. 

• Buy USED if: You want maximum value for your dollar, need a second trailer for overflow work, or are just starting your hauling business and want to minimize upfront cost. 

• Buy USED from a dealer if: You want the peace of mind that comes with a pre-purchase inspection — something you don’t get from a private seller. 

At PrimeHaul Trailers, we carry both new and used dump trailers for sale so you can compare side by side and choose what makes the most sense for your budget and workload.
