r686st Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 What kind of dump trailer is that? It seems to have really short sides... Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44097-1985-rd686sx/#findComment-325189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Not sure what all they use this trailer for with the low sides. It is like a mason dump body in trailer form.

Red Horse Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 First thought-surplus trailer from a steel mill-haulijng ingots whatever. Then thinking- New England? Maybe hauling big stone for waterfront projects. Case in point, I'm involved in a beach restoration project now and spec calls for 5-6 ton "toe stone" as first course. that would be a hunk of granite about 4 x 4 x 4. How do you move that stuff? Chain it on a flat or lowboy? or maybe some heavy low sideboard dump- loaded by grapple or chain-off loaded same way???In any case beauty of an R model!

66dc75 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I think they said it was cut down to haul big boulders. It was parked near my Autocar at a show last November Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44097-1985-rd686sx/#findComment-325232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bullheaded Posted February 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hope you don't mind me adding a pic. This was new at my local dealer back in the day. I think this is one of the ones that ended up in our local steel mill pulling a big 100 ton float.If not, they did have two just like it. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44097-1985-rd686sx/#findComment-325272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
