End Dump Trailers for Sale: Sizes, Price & Where to Buy

Key Takeaways

• End dump trailers run 10 to 20 feet long with GVWRs from 9,990 to 23,000 lbs, priced roughly $7,488 to $27,998 new.

• Sizes covered include compact 10- and 12-foot bumper pulls, 14-foot bumper pulls, 16-foot telescopic units, and 16- to 20-foot gooseneck configurations.

• Compact bumper pulls suit landscaping and light cleanup, the 14-foot 14k class handles most contractor loads, and goosenecks serve demolition and aggregate work.

• Three specs drive most of the price gap: floor gauge (10-gauge standard versus 7-gauge for heavy material), hoist type (scissor versus telescopic), and axle package.

• Poplar Bluff Trailer stocks MAXX-D, Diamond C, Load Trail, and Hillcrest dumps with daily inventory updates, online financing, and in-house hydraulic service.

Matching End Dump Size to Payload & Budget

New end dump trailers for sale span 10 to 20 feet, but payload capacity is what actually settles the decision. A 12-foot unit at 9,990 lbs GVWR and a 20-foot gooseneck at 21,000 lbs are built for very different weekly volumes, and choosing the cheaper trailer costs more over time if it doubles your trip count every job.

Side height also matters. Contractors hauling gravel or asphalt hit their weight limit well before they fill 24-inch sides, so taller walls only pay off on light, bulky materials like mulch, brush, or demolition debris.

Poplar Bluff Trailer stocks bumper pull and gooseneck dumps across the full size range at our Poplar Bluff, Missouri lot, with daily inventory updates so listed specs match what is actually available.

End Dump Trailer Sizes & Cost 

10 & 12 Foot Bumper Pull End Dumps

Compact end dumps at 9,990 lbs GVWR are the entry point for landscapers, property maintenance crews, and single-truck operations. A Load Trail DE7212 6' x 12' at $7,488 runs twin 5,200 lb Dexter spring axles with a tarp and ramps included. The MAXX-D D6B6010 5' x 10' telescopic at $7,998 trades a foot of length for telescopic lift in a narrower 5-foot body.

These sizes tow behind a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck without a weight-distributing setup, which is why they move quickly in spring cleanup season. The limit is trip count. Crews moving more than 10 yards a day usually outgrow them inside a season.

Compact 10- and 12-foot bumper pull end dumps offer 9,990 lbs GVWR, ideal for landscapers and single-truck operations. 

14 Foot End Dump Trailers

The 14-foot 14k class is the volume seller in this category. A MAXX-D DKB8314 with 24-inch sides sits at $9,488 with 4,550 lbs empty weight and roughly 9,450 lbs of usable payload. The high-side version with 42-inch walls lists at $10,988, and the DJB8314 with 2-foot solid sides and 10-gauge construction runs $11,988.

Side height does not radically change the math as the spec sheet suggests. Contractors hauling gravel or asphalt hit GVWR before they fill 24-inch sides, so taller walls only pay off on light, bulky loads: mulch, brush, roofing tear-off, and demolition debris.

The 14-foot 14k MAXX-D dump trailer is the top seller, with 24-inch side models starting at $9,488. 

16 Foot & Telescopic End Dumps

At 16 feet, telescopic hoists become standard. The MAXX-D DTB8316 at $15,988 carries 16,000 lbs GVWR with 3-foot sides and a 7-gauge floor. Diamond C's low-profile telescopic line reaches higher, with the LPT210 16-foot at 23,000 lbs GVWR for $25,998.

A telescopic cylinder pushes from the front of the bed and lifts to full angle in stages, so the trailer dumps cleanly without the rear axle walking backward. Crews working inside garages, under power lines, or on soft fill see the difference on the first load.

Telescopic dump trailers like Diamond C's low-profile line deliver clean dumping angles ideal for tight or overhead-limited job sites. 

Gooseneck End Dump Trailers

Gooseneck configurations move the pivot point over the rear axle of the truck and open up capacities bumper pulls cannot reach. A Load Trail DG8316 16-foot telescopic at 14k GVWR lists for $12,488, while the MAXX-D DJX8316G at 17,500 lbs GVWR runs $17,998 with 4-foot solid sides and hydraulic jacks. At the top of the category, the DSX8320G 20-foot 21k super heavy duty unit is $27,998.

Hotshot operators and excavation contractors buy here because a gooseneck tracks straighter under load and backs into tight sites more predictably. The requirement is a bed-mounted hitch and a truck with the payload rating to carry the pin weight.

Gooseneck dump trailers offer higher capacities and better tracking, with models ranging from $12,488 to $27,998. 

Where to Buy End Dump Trailers in Missouri & Illinois

End dumps sell through regional dealerships, not factory-direct. MAXX-D, Diamond C, and Load Trail build to dealer orders, so stock, pricing, financing, and warranty all run through the dealer. Choose a dealer based on inventory accuracy, size selection, in-house financing, and whether they service hydraulics, since hoists and cylinders are what eventually need work.

Poplar Bluff Trailer covers all four.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What size end dump trailer do most contractors buy?

The 14-foot bumper pull at 14,000 lbs GVWR is the most common choice. It carries roughly 9,000 lbs of payload, tows behind a three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck, and fits standard job site access without the pin weight requirement of a gooseneck.

Is a telescopic hoist worth it over a scissor lift?

Telescopic hoists lift the bed to full dump angle in stages without pushing the trailer rearward, which helps on soft ground and under low overhead clearance. Crews hauling dense aggregate or working inside structures generally find the upgrade pays off. General debris hauling does fine on a scissor lift.

How much payload can a 16-foot gooseneck end dump carry?

A 16-foot gooseneck rated at 17,500 lbs GVWR typically nets 10,000 to 11,000 lbs of payload after empty weight. Units built at 21,000 lbs GVWR push higher. Always subtract the actual empty weight listed on the spec sheet rather than estimating.

Do I need a CDL to tow an end dump trailer?

Requirements depend on the combined gross vehicle weight rating of your truck and trailer, and rules vary by state and by commercial use. Most bumper pull dumps under 26,001 lbs combined stay below the threshold. Check current Missouri or Illinois licensing rules for your specific setup.
