Not a fan of end dumps. I was working as a contract mechanic for a company who was doing a couple of large road building projects in town a couple summers ago. One day they had an end dump tip over and it unfortunately crushed the cab on a truck parked beside it. Unfortunately the guy in the second truck didn't make it from what I heard. Why they were dumping with other people and equipment so close by I'll never know. Just shows that a guy really needs to pay attention to what's going on around him when on the job.

I run a belly dump as an owner operator based out of Casper WYOMING many years ago when I was a pup, I liked bottom dumps very much.

Been running end dumps for almost 30 yrs. It'd easy but you need to be careful especially when spreading. I can see why these belly dumps are used in windy regions and also where you're gonna spread alot without equipt machines doing most of the work.

Pulling double bellies is fun, end dumps are sketchy

Straight tracks and no backing up on your finished work...I like. Graderhand.

I take the widrow-gate bottom or belly dump over the end one, because it does the job in road pavimentation so easy.

Great video showing the difference!! Thank you for sharing!

I was watched an end dump trailer unloading mulch. It was winter and the mulch was wet and froze in the trailer. The truck and trailer were sideways on an inclined paved parking lot. The driver raised the trailer as far up as it would go. The trailer tipped over sideways, taking the truck with it. Made quite a loud bang when it hit.

live bottoms carry as much as an end dump! But they dont have to tip up ... they have a conveyor in the bottome of the box.

I've run belly, semi end, truck n pup and think for most application the truck n pup isfaster and smoother. On a long, relatively straight job the belly dump can be damn fine too. Knew a grade crew foreman who was so smooth on a blade that he could move a pile faster than many semi end drivers could spread it. RIP Kevin.

In an operation like this, a belly dump is the way to go. Dumping in a stockpile, at a redi mix plant or control flow in a mill, the belly-dump would not work. Most concrete plants in the east are small operations, and do not have the space or hoppers for a belly.

there is no comparison. If you use the correct equiptment for the job. Lets see the End Dump vs. the Belly Dump hauling broken Concrete and Asphalt.

Very good video!

thanks the they are very nice to use ill try to get a video of it sometime

judging from the logos on the pickup at the beginning of the video and on the belly dump, this is an Anderson Construction job.. Blackfoot Idaho, thats not far from Cranbrook, BC Canada. I would assume I am hearing Jeff Anderson narrating this video? It's amazing what Google brings up. Great looking older Caterpillar equipment! Clean shop too!

thats a different belly dump what make is it im used to mine where the doors open front to back i didn't know that they made them to open side to side as well

Very interesting, I have never ever seen a belly dump trailer east of the Mississippi River where I live in Illinois. I have only ever seen them out west. I wonder why?

We use an end dump because we haul brush!

On a level pad like you have there I would use either one. Your belly dump does a good job on it's own, but I would chain the gates so they spread the material a little lower and longer. With your end dump it's hard to spread with that barn door, but not impossible. With a hinged gate I would and do many times put a chain across the back and spread the material about 6 to 8 inch's deep, so the blade operator didn't work so hard. Note: I use 38 to 40 foot end dumps, steel or aluminum in structure, way out here in the wild Southwest of Arizona. I ran a Transfer too many years not to be able to spread material as needed. L.- B.

they both have there purpose!

I love bottom dumps I like the way they are shaped I like to hear them open and close they make a really nice dump.(lol I'm talking about you know what talking about know what I'm talking about) it looks really good I love bottom dumps and I always will I love to watch them unload I could sit there all day and watch them unload

That end dump is probably as old as you lol not fair competing with a bottom dump with air gates lol

Here in Pennsylvania u don't see many Billydump we have in dumps appear

New or experienced operator in the seat ? With or without a 4 foot level to put on the tailgate,when in doubt of what "level" actually means? Wet sticky loads or loose stuff? Overhead power lines within a mile of the job? That is just a few of the variables before I give you a concrete answer. Oh the horror and carnage . On second thought, I choose option C. A 10 year old kid, with a little red wagon, the only safe bet. LMAO !

To be honest bottom belly is more faster and efficient for a contruction like this, open and flat with make the it very easier for a moto grader to grade cause the load is already spread instead of pilled. As to where the end dump tipper trailer to me is more neccesery in confind spaces such as cities to bring loads in pill while a bottom bump cant do that, so as someone say in the 👇 comment below they both have there purpous, but interms of unloading fast bottom belly all the way 😊😊🖒and fact end dump are mostly likely and easily to tip over if not set right

Tandem and pup trailer! I chose tandem and pup trailer!

I do both semi and end dump in Bay Area ca

Doesn't a belly dump hold a lot less?

Why no lasers or GPS? Seems a little old fashioned.

Me and my dad us end dumps because we work in places that are kind of small

pretty archaic old end dump. You would be maxed on axle weight in British Columbia before it was full. 22 yards would be all it could legally haul here. It the situation you are in the belly dump is the way to fly but its uses are limited. A lot of guys are running tandem axle dump trucks with a tandem axle pintle/5th wheel converter dollies with a tri axle end dump over here on Vancouver Island, they can move the material well. But for what you are doing in this video, it's the belly dump.

I trailgate spread with my endumps, might have a little crown to knock down, but it’s 8’ wise and how many inches thick you want, when I did the parish roads AKA COUNTYs they didn’t even send a motor patrol “Grader” 😂

Check out the A model Kw headlight bezels in the 900L!

Well you blue toped it good work...

I was wondering how this works 🧐 thinking 🤔 about getting a job in this

Bellydumps are better for that than enddumps are but l know you got to use what you got some times.

Man that is an old broken down end dump,

Ahh. Looks a lot like stabilized crushed concrete material we use a lot in Houston.

to the guy driveing the white end dump, It realy doesnt take That Long to air up the tires, keep running that low and they will ether blow or your end dump will fall over, It takes less time to air up that it does to upright a flipped truck and trailer

Thanks for the video.

mmmm all the belly dumps i see here in New Zealand all dump across the trailer, saw three this arvo all getting used for spreading on rural gravel roads.

now be sure to climb under that belly dump and get rocks off of brake rods

That's crushed concrete material is pretty good

belly dump....or side dump...ya wanna go for a ride wait until some hangs up in a end dump semi

I entered the information that was on the logo on your Belly dump into Google and everything you read above came up on that search.

Only end dump here

if I was a betting man. Bottom dump will be the winner.

I met end dumps

Live Bottom ;) all the way !

I'll take my sidedump over either one.

belly dumps are good in some situations as are end dumps. this pad had the run to bring in a belly dump but then you get the job site where a belly dump wont have the run to unload. i have ran both end dumps and belly dumps and i prefer the end dump for the simple fact that every load is going to an adventure. i just love when you got up in the air and she starts to dance for ya. makes the butt pucker the seat. belly dumps are just too boring for me. im just sayin

Yeah but you still can get the job done. LOL

Frameless Dump, no thanks.....

thats a framless trailer to know to rool over on flat ground

So U compare a belly dump to a "barn door" end dump, that the driver idles up and can't chain up to spread ? The Belly Dump truck is also about 40 years Newer, why didn't U compare that also. Next time Hire a Driver that knows how to do the job, remember U get what U pay for...

you cant put boulders or trash or broken up.concrete ect. in a belly dump

great belly dump is more better....
