Side dump semi-trailer is a specialized heavy hauler designed for rapid unloading of bulk materials by tilting laterally. Its unique hydraulic system allows the trailer body to lift from one side, depositing cargo along the length of the trailer - making it ideal for precise material placement in construction and mining applications.
