XL Specialized Trailers launched its new XL Side Dump trailer.

The new trailer is available in two-axle (XL 60 SD2-37) and three-axle (XL 60 SD3-27) designs, and the company says it is a good fit for the aggregate industry.

“The aggregate industry works with tough materials and needs a tough product to handle them,” says Tom Hiatt, director of sales at XL. “Our team invested significant research and development efforts into designing the new XL Side Dump. The result is a durable product that incorporates no-nonsense safety measures to ensure productivity on the jobsite.”

The XL Side Dump tub hooks on each side of the trailer. When one side is disengaged, the other side automatically engages, ensuring the tub is always secure. The electric mesh tarp systems also prevent the tub from dumping when it is covered, according to XL. It is also equipped with six lights per side, rubber-mounted LED lights and dual intensity center cluster lights.

It offers a capacity of 23 cu. yd. water level and 33 cu. yd. strike-off. Its 1/4-in. AR450 steel tub is designed to be crack resistant and easily haul materials.

The XL SD2-37 has an overall length of 39 ft., 8 in., while the XL 60 SD 3-37 comes in at 41 ft., 9 in. Both trailers measure 102 in. wide and have a capacity of 60,000 pounds.
