Big Tex Trailers introduces redesigned dump trailer

Big Tex Trailers introduced a redesigned 14LP ultra-low-profile dump trailer. With a durable new frame design and premium feature set, the 14LP delivers lasting strength and value, the company said. For users, it makes loading safer, easier and more convenient.

“From landscaping and agricultural to roofing, construction and remodeling, the 14LP is an outstanding new option for a wide range of customers,” said Johnathan Bradley, vice president of sales for Big Tex. “We’ve redesigned this popular model to be even more durable and feature-rich, providing added value and ultimate reliability.”

Notably, the tongue and center beam of the 14LP are one continuous piece of 8-in. I-beam, resulting in a lower profile. The trailer’s ultra-low 28-in. deck height allows for more ergonomic loading of materials as well as a safer angle for loading equipment. Beneath the bed, a scissor lift keeps the bed and frame properly aligned and enables smoother raising/lowering with less required maintenance.

Durability is a defining trait of the new 14LP, from the heavy-duty 10-gauge dump box with a single-piece floor, to the reinforced square-tube steel top rail. Providing a sturdy foundation are two 7,000-lb. cambered Dexter Brand axles, EZ-Lube hubs, 16-in. radial tires and Nev-R-Adjust electric brakes.

The 14LP arrives equipment ready, with standard rear stabilizers and an optional 6.5-ft. rear slide-in ramp package, Big Tex reports. A rear combo-gate with holdbacks can be opened as barn doors or used as a spreader gate. Inside the bed, four D-rings are included for securing cargo.

The trailer’s L.E.D. lighting package is a brighter and longer-lasting solution than traditional incandescent lighting, while a sealed modular wiring harness protects the wiring from road debris and the elements. Additional standard features include a 12,000-lb. side-wind, drop-leg tongue jack; a 12V Interstate deep-cycle battery with a 110V, 5-amp onboard charger; an integrated tarp shroud and roll tarp with side J-hooks; and a new integrated side step on the marker light box.

“More customers turn to Big Tex for industry-leading trailers that are built to last and provide exceptional value,” Bradley said. “The 14LP dump trailer is an exciting new option that delivers on the promise of durability, convenience and ease of use.”
