We don't have many side dumps here but it would be interesting to see them in a fill operation.

No experience with side dumps - Can it dump on the go? Speaking of fill/dirt material nothing chunky.
Yes they dump on the go, even rip rap, so basically they'll handel any size material but the dump site has to be set-up properly. They dump the back trailer first and as the is about to finish the next trailer starts to dump. You get a large windrow of material.

Thank you for the info.

We just don't have them around here. Some end dumps and live bottom trailers for asphalt and wood chips but not side dumps. Most everything hauled to and from a job site is done with tri-axle dumps.

Now I'd like to see a set of these side dumps in operation doing some mass grade cut and fill.
