Hydraulic Dump Trailer

[zak]

Has anybody made a 12/24 volt hydraulic dump trailer out of a m101 or m105?
I'm toying with the idea of making one out of a m101. I know that the trailer has dump capabilities to some extent if its loaded right. But making a true one would make loading/dumping a non issue.

Sorry I do not recall the SS member's name that did this trailer. Maybe someone will think of it. I think he is in southern Ohio.

None of the related treads had pics of the lift assembly or hinge area.

Send a pm or an email to SR71blackbird and ask him if could give you a heads up on the installation. Worth a try.

I've got some concerns about a M105 bed being strong enough for a dump. If you'll look at the picks posted, you'll notice that there are no rails running front to back. Seems kind of weak when the bed is lifted into the air. I could be wrong.

From the lift kits I've seen, all need some space between the original frame and bed. This space could be turned into bed supports. Plus it would have to run the length of the bed to support it on the frame. Like the dump with the double frame.

M796 would make a great platform for this.

Trouble is my pickup wouldn't be able to tow it

I've built couple of dumps out of these trailers...maybe like 20

I'd be interested to see how you did it. I cannot post pictures, but I did an M101 and built a subframe for the bed with hydraulic dump. Of course that raised it up even higher, which is going in the wrong direction. I've found the M101 is not quite big enough, would be nice to do an M105, but I'd like to see how you did it.

12v electric over hydraulic pump for the cylinder

I'm getting ready to build a m105A3 into a dump

Heavy truck cab jack pump would make a great power source for the lift. Might need to mount a battery to the trailer as the amp draw is higher than a trailer plug could handle.
