72" Tandem Axle Dump Trailer (D3)
The PJ Trailers D3 72" Tandem Axle Dump Trailer gives homeowners, landscapers, farmers, contractors, and property maintenance crews a compact dump trailer with the strength and stability of a tandem axle design. Built with a 72-inch-wide steel bed, available in 10-foot and 12-foot bed lengths, and a 9,990-pound Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the D3 is sized for everyday hauling without requiring the footprint of a larger commercial dump trailer.
With load capacities ranging from approximately 6,970 to 7,240 pounds, depending on configuration, the D3 can handle substantial loads of mulch, soil, gravel, brush, construction debris, landscaping material, and other bulk cargo. A hydraulic lifting system takes much of the manual work out of unloading, allowing operators to dump material directly where it is needed.
A Tandem Axle Dump Trailer Built for Everyday Work
The tandem-axle configuration provides the D3 additional stability and load support compared with many smaller single-axle dump trailers. Two 5,200-pound axles work with a six-leaf slipper spring suspension to create a durable platform for repeated hauling around jobsites, farms, residential properties, and landscaping projects.
The trailer is built on a 5-inch channel frame with a 5-inch channel tongue and 3-inch channel crossmembers positioned on 16-inch centers. A 10-gauge steel bed provides a rugged surface for loose material, equipment, tools, and cleanup debris, while treadplate steel fenders help protect the wheels during work.
For buyers specifically searching for a tandem-axle dump trailer, the D3 provides a useful middle ground between small residential trailers and heavier 14K or 16K commercial dump models.
Hydraulic Dumping for Dirt, Gravel, Mulch, and Debris
One of the biggest advantages of the D3 is its hydraulic dumping capability. Instead of unloading heavy material by hand, operators can raise the bed and let gravity do the work. This makes the D3 especially useful for landscapers moving mulch or soil, property owners handling brush and yard debris, contractors hauling demolition waste, and farm users transporting feed, dirt, or other bulk material.
The hydraulic system provides power-up, power-down, and gravity-down operation. A 12V deep-cycle battery powers the system, while an integrated 110V trickle charger helps keep the battery ready between jobs.
Stake pockets along both sides give users additional flexibility for securing cargo or adding compatible accessories. Optional ramps and additional D-rings can further expand the D3's usefulness for operators who occasionally need to move equipment rather than loose material.
Two Bed Lengths for Different Hauling Needs
The D3 is available with either a 10-foot or 12-foot bed, allowing buyers to choose the amount of cargo space that best matches their workload.
The 10-foot model offers a more compact footprint for users who prioritize maneuverability and storage, while the 12-foot model provides additional bed space for larger or higher-volume loads. Both configurations use the same 72-inch bed width and 9,990-pound GVWR.
For landscaping crews, acreage owners, farms, construction sites, and general property maintenance, that size range makes the D3 versatile enough for both routine jobs and occasional heavier hauling.
Built for Reliable Towing
The D3 uses an adjustable 2-5/16-inch bumper-pull coupler, with other coupler options available depending on configuration. An 8,000-lb top-wind drop-leg jack provides support when the trailer is disconnected from the tow vehicle.
Radial tires, an all-weather wiring harness, electric brakes, and an electric breakaway system support dependable road use. PJ also offers multiple axle, jack, ramp, and cargo-control options so the trailer can be configured around different hauling requirements.
Whether the job involves landscaping materials, farm chores, renovation debris, or property cleanup, the PJ D3 tandem-axle dump trailer is built to make loading, transporting, and unloading more manageable.
