Power & Earth is the exclusive agent and distributor for Jako trailers in New Zealand.

When it comes to moving earth, choosing the right equipment is critical. Comparing traditional dump trucks with tractor-powered earth-moving trailers can highlight significant operational and cost advantages, depending on the application.

Jako trailers offer a practical and efficient alternative, with a lower capital investment compared to dump trucks. Their lighter overall weight helps reduce ground compaction and minimise track damage, while a lower centre of gravity improves stability across varied terrain.

These trailers are also well suited to wet conditions, delivering reliable performance when site conditions are less than ideal. In addition, simplified design and construction contribute to lower ongoing maintenance requirements.

When selecting between an earth-moving trailer and a dump truck, several key factors should be considered:

Soil type and ground conditions
Required load capacity
Haulage distance and cycle times
Site gradients and centre of gravity considerations
Ejection system and tailgate design
Tyre size and flotation requirements for softer ground
Hitch weight in relation to tractor capacity
Correct tractor selection and specification

The Power & Earth team provides practical guidance to ensure the right equipment is selected for each job, helping to maximise efficiency and performance on site.
