Heavy-Duty Dump Trailers

12T & 14T half-pipe bodies

Half-pipe rock and earth dump bodies on commercial running gear. Built for stone, spoil and muck that punishes a flat floor — commercial tipping rams, heavy tailgate arrangements and a body shaped to empty clean.

Range

Build variants

Each variant is fabricated to order. Start from the closest one and change what you need in the configurator.

12T half-pipe

The everyday farm and contractor unit — stone, spoil and muck on a body that empties clean.

14T half-pipe

Heavier running gear and a bigger body where volume and weight are both against you.

Grain door specification

Tailgate arrangement with a grain door for harvest work alongside the dirty jobs.

Air-braked build

Commercial air braking where the trailer runs behind a lorry-spec unit or travels serious distances.

Where it works

Typical applications

Quarry & stone haulage

Rock and hardcore on a body shaped to take the drop.

Groundworks

Spoil off site with a tailgate that clears the load in one.

Farm muck & silage

Seasonal muck and silage work on commercial running gear.

Civil contractors

Repeat specification across a fleet, built the same each time.

Before you order

Questions the team gets asked

If yours isn't here, message the workshop — you'll get a straight answer rather than a brochure.

What is the difference between a rock body and an earth body?
A rock body is built heavier through the floor and lower half for stone and hardcore. An earth body is specified for spoil and lighter bulk where volume matters more than impact.
Can I have air brakes?
Yes — commercial air, air over hydraulic and hydraulic oil arrangements are all built. Tell the team what the towing unit runs.
Can I have it in my own colours?
Yes. MT Graphite Grey, MT Machinery Green, high-gloss black, MT Blue or any RAL colour you name. Signwriting and decals can be applied before delivery.
What is the lead time?
Every unit is fabricated to order, so the build slot and delivery date are confirmed in writing with your quotation rather than advertised as a fixed figure.
