Hi all. I found this at the dump today. They have signs all over telling you no salvaging but will usually ignore you if there is something good and easy to get. It's very rusty. I think someone stored their driveway salt in it, but it is all there and looks usable if I throw in a piece of plywood to keep things from breaking through the bottom. when I get a chance I will beat off the rust and see how much is salvageable.

16.5 cu ft with 6.50 x 8 wheels. Wheels are greased and tires look ok. Steel dump body with a tailgate. I have no idea what brand.

Be careful if you use bed liner on the floor, these are so big, the dump angle is not as good as a smaller trailer. I have the same one that I also got for free, it also suffers from rust on the floor. I do use it as it is, but you almost always have to unload it by hand, not enough angle. I was going to try to get some plastic to put down to help loads slide out.
