This is not a dump trailer and has basically a heavy screen base. You can however take the sides off. I have carried loads of dirt, sticks, leaves by putting a tarp inside first, then taking off the back or side and rolling the tarp to empty.

Is there a liner or way to allow trailer use for dirt, sand, mulch and gravel?
-
SMueller· 5 years ago
I purchased a livestock mat and cut it to protect the mesh on bottom and sides of trailer. I have used it for hauling gravel.
For sand I’d buy as I expensive tarp to line the inside. Should work great.

Can the axles accept a single wide tire and wheel assembly?
A wider tire is needed to allow the unit to flow over soft wet areas easier.
-
Jeb01· 6 years ago
I don't know whether the axles can accept a single tire, but I do know that I travelled through thick mud and ruts and the tires seemed to handle this ok. Yes, with all the mud it looked like I had only one wide tire on each side by the time I was done, but the mud eventually just fell off. Didn't seem to affect the ride at all..

What is the recommended torque to use when tightening axle nuts?
-
RadarRick· 7 years ago
Didnt tighten them too much, just enough to hold them in place without wobbling and able to turn freely and then put the cotter pin in
Helpful?
-
BannonExpert11· 7 years ago
When installing the axle/castle nuts, they should not be torqued on. This could crush the roller bearings. The castle nuts should be initially hand tightened then slightly loosened to allow the locking pin to be inserted in the next/nearest open hole.
