7 Ways Refuse Trailers Streamline Trash Collection

The trash/refuse industry is competitive, and the key to getting and keeping contracts rests with keeping your operating costs under control. This is challenging because it means having the right equipment to increase your profit margins–which equates to the right refuse trailer for the job.

At Pinnacle Trailer Sales, we recognize that you need to make money long-term—not just on a few short contracts. That means you need a company that stands by its refuse trailers by not only offering quality, but providing service long after the sale is made.

We’ll take a quick look at how using the right trailers streamlines your operation.

7 Ways Refuse Trailers Streamline Trash Collection

1. Excellent Capacity

Refuse trailers offer a large capacity capability, which not only means fewer trips to the disposal site, but increases the efficiency of waste trash collection. This capacity is significantly larger than garbage trucks.
When you make fewer trips, this increases your efficiency, allowing you to transport the volume you need to get the job done.

2. Versatility

What if you need to haul dirt or items from a construction site? Would you be prepared? The strength and versatility of these trailers allow you to easily haul everything from regular garbage to tools, soil, and perhaps even broken pieces of large equipment.

You want to be prepared when the call comes for an atypical load. Turning down a contract because you don’t have the right trailer for the job is not an option if you want to remain in business.

3. Controlled Precision

Need hassle-free unloading? Not a problem. Tipper refuse trailers use an extensive hydraulic system that raises the trailers in the air. This provides not only easy unloading but also enables you to pace the materials where you need, every time.

This helps streamline efficiency. We know you’re in a challenging industry that’s filled with tough competitors. Being able to unload effectively and skillfully increases productivity—and that’s vital for securing loyal customers and netting more contracts.

4. Variety Enables You to Get What You Need

When it comes to these trailers, we know that customization is the key to enabling your business to succeed. Therefore, many trash trailers for sale have different varieties that unload differently.

If the hydraulic tipper isn’t for you, you can try:

Moving Floors – Featuring maneuverable slats, you can easily move your load out the back of the trailer.
Pushout – These utilize a ram cylinder to easily push the payload from the back opening.

Not sure which one is for you? That’s where our sales team comes in. We’ll give you a quick, no-hassle, no-commitment, assessment.

5. You Can Easily Get the Size You Need

Not every trailer is suited for every job, and if you want to streamline your operation, you need to carefully consider the size of the trailer for the job. While most are box trailers between 40 and 53 feet long, they can come in other sizes, so you’re sure to find one that is perfect for the job.

Ask us about open tops and open backs and how these can help with loading and unloading. We’ll be glad to show you what we have in our extensive inventory.

5. You Can Observe the Load From Above

Sometimes, you need the right perspective to be sure everything is moving smoothly. Having this option can be a big help. Some refuse trailers have ladders where you can easily check out your load with a view from above.

6. You Can Either Own or Rent a Refuse Trailer

When working in the refuse industry, one thing is abundantly clear:

It’s incredibly competitive.

You’ll likely be facing larger companies, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t get the jobs you want. It just means you need a partner like Pinnacle Trailer Sales that is invested in your success.
