Earth Moving Trailers by Jako
We are the exclusive agent and distributor for Jako Trailers in NZ.
When it comes to moving earth, what’s best? Trucks, or earth-moving trailers on a tractor? It’s worth considering your options. Typically, we have found our clients enjoy the benefits of the lower purchase price of our earth-moving trailers compared to a dump/moxy truck.
They also like the lighter weight of our trailers for less compaction and track damage, a lower centre of gravity, less maintenance, and improved performance in wet weather.
When deciding on an earth-moving trailer or dump truck there are a number of considerations:
- The type and condition of the earth/soil to be moved
- Weight and capacity of the trailer
- Travel/haulage distance
- The centre of gravity and gradients of your job site
- The ejection mechanism and tailgate design
- Tyre size and desired floatation (softness of the ground)
- Hitch weight in combination with the tractor
- Correct tractor selection and spec
Our experts can talk you through all of the options and recommend the best combination for your specific needs. Talk to one of our experts.
