Frequently Asked Questions
Why Cemeteries Choose Hydraulic Dump Trailers
A hydraulic dump trailer helps cemetery crews haul excavated soil away from the gravesite, move materials around the property, and refill graves efficiently after a service. By keeping excess soil out of sight during the burial, it also helps maintain a clean, professional setting for families—especially when paired with a polished graveside setup that includes graveside grass and an SG Burial Platform.
Instead of requiring employees to shovel heavy soil or materials out by hand, the hydraulic lift raises the trailer bed for controlled unloading. This allows your crew to complete ground preparation and cleanup with less physical strain. For monument resetting and leveling work, the Tombstone Jack can further reduce the need for heavy equipment and multiple crew members.
Yes. Automating the unloading process reduces the amount of repetitive lifting, shoveling, and handling of heavy materials required from your team. That means less strain during demanding setup and restoration work. For a safer graveside presentation, cemeteries can also use an SG Burial Platform with a compatible lowering device.
The Holland Heavy Duty Hydraulic Dump Trailer has a 3-yard load capacity, providing ample room for hauling soil and other cemetery ground materials while helping crews avoid repeated trips with smaller trailers.
Holland Supply’s hydraulic dump trailer is designed to work with the towing equipment your cemetery already uses. It includes a switchable ball or pintle ring option, offering flexibility when connecting it to an appropriate tractor, utility vehicle, or other towing unit.
The trailer includes front and rear dump controls, a 10,000-pound scissor lift, a 7,000-pound flex axle, and an 11-gauge steel hopper. Its compact 12-foot overall length also makes it a practical option for moving through cemetery grounds.
Yes. After the family has departed, crews can position the trailer near the grave and use the hydraulic controls to unload soil quickly and respectfully. This supports a smoother restoration process while minimizing manual work.
When it is time to prepare the site for the next service, a Holland Mobile Stand can help crews move and position a lowering device efficiently
For cemeteries that need dependable hauling and unloading without adding a full dump truck to the fleet, a hydraulic dump trailer can expand capabilities while using existing towing equipment. The Holland Supply hydraulic dump trailer is designed to offer many dump-truck advantages at a fraction of the cost. For narrow areas or lighter material-moving needs, consider Holland Supply’s Side Dump Trailer.
Wet soil can weigh significantly more than dry soil because water adds substantial weight to every cubic yard. When hauling rain-soaked, compacted, or clay-heavy soil, cemetery crews may need to reduce the load size to stay within the trailer’s rated capacity and maintain safe towing conditions. Always plan for the weight of wet material—not only the trailer’s volume capacity.
