That looks nice. Is the 10k limit including the trailer?

Scissor lifts are better than dual rams I've been told. Spare tire is nice.

How much do they want for that guy?

15k gvrw so the 10k is just payload. They range from $11k to $13k from what I'm seeing. It's made by b wise trailers. Here's a video of its features

$6500 or so after taxes. 7ton rated. Trailer empty is about 3800#. Three way gate, ramps to load skidsteers. Tie downs on the inside.

I'll deliver for $1500.

I looked at this one for $6000. Place down the road from me has a bunch of them for sale. Thing is I already have use of a model like the one in the picture and the B-wise is a lot nicer in almost every way but it is double the price.

The other thing is I'm gonna use the trailer as a dumpster as well at family's yard so that I can just pile stuff in it then dump it once it's full so high sides are really a must. Also need more tilt than on standard dump trailers as the clay around here just won't slide out the bed of the trailer easy and gave to climb in and shovel it out.
 
My guess is those axles are 7k axles and they fudge the gvwr to 15k by saying 1k of the trailer weight is on the tongue. It actually should be more. The next step up to 8k axles is a G rated tire I believe. Not cheap. That trailer looks pretty cool. A lot of hydraulics on it. I wonder if the battery would keep up if you were dumping a lot throughout the day. Couple things I thought were strange. D-rings on the walls. The tailgate looked like it could grab a high pile of debris or brush when dumping and hold it in place. For that price it should have backup lights too. If you have trouble getting stuff to come out a couple degrees of dump angle isn't going to make a difference. Put a vibrator on it. That will get everything out. I'm going to put one on my dump.

How are you going to yank that with your platinum?

For smaller loads I will just use the platinum but when it larger loads I will use the 3/4ton. Main plan is to have it as a dumpster at yard until it's full then dump it with 3-4ton. Still weighting my options up but had some good size jobs come up last few weeks and this is really gonna be needed if I get these jobs.

What about one of those roll off trailers with electric winches. I looked at those. they are nice because you don't lose the use of the trailer if one can is half full and sitting at a job. You can put a machine in the can too.

I will take a look at them too. Didn't think about something like that.

You can get those ones ordered with 4ft high sides.
