Super Storms Linked To Global Warming

One of the fiercest tropical storms to hit Australia has scientists and environmentalists concerned that global warming could lead to more super cyclones. Cyclones are what hurricanes are called in the Pacific so one could also say that global warming may also contribute to hurricanes as well. Ask anyone along the gulf coast and they will definitely say the ocean is like bathwater already and bound to get hotter. Even the raspberries here in Florida are ripening earlier. Is that a sign of global warming like so many other earlier than usual signs of spring and summer we are hearing about around the globe. Well with that in mind let's just assume we are going to get hit with weather as bad as if not worse than last year and be better prepared. Tune up your generator, set aside your survival gear and get plenty of food and water. It's gonna be a long hot summer. And don't just stand around wondering how you are gonna haul away all the mess that's left behind. Get a dump trailer. Isn't that a bit overkill you are saying. I think not...do you have a better idea for hauling debris or are you gonna wait till you are standing there surrounded by it scratching your head wondering what to do. I hope you won't need a big dump trailer, maybe just a small one will do. But now is the time to think about it.

How to Know What Type of Dump Trailer You Need

It's difficult to know what size or type of dump trailer you will need when you are planning to do many different types of work with it. It is best to write down all the different things you want to accomplish with it such as collecting debris to be taken to the dump, hauling dirt for landscaping, hauling cedar chips for landscaping,etc. Think about how much room you are going to need for these tasks.
Ask yourself what types of vehicles do you have that can pull a dump trailer, what is their hauling capacity. Look in the owners manual for each vehicle to be sure. These are all questions you need to answer for yourself before shopping around for a dump trailer or a trailer of any kind.
After you have these questions answered it is a good idea to call around to many different manufacturer of dump trailers to see which ones take the time to answer your questions. Are they pushy and try to rush you into purchasing a certain model without listening to you or do they truly take the time to listen to your concerns? Are they pleasant even after you tell them you will get back to them later? A good salesperson never closes the door but leaves it open to future possibilities.

Spring is Boomtime for Landscaping Business

Now is the time to buy that new equipment for your landscaping business if you haven't already. Spring is here in the southern part of the US and things are warming up north. Everyone is thinking about landscaping and gardening this time of year. Be sure you have a big enough utility trailer to carry all that new equipment you probably have already purchased. Perhaps you are needing to add another trailer to haul extra equipment around for all that new business you are now getting. I have seen some lawn maintenance companies show up with two trailers and two pickup trucks full of workers at a time to get the job done faster, especially on commercial projects like condominiums and apartments. Don't get left behind in the race to get those landscaping contracts. Be sure you have the equipment to do the job right.

Cleaning up After Tornadoes

Tennessee was hard hit by tornadoes this week- dump trucks were needed to haul away the wreckage. Tornadoes were spotted in about 10 Tennessee counties Friday, the second wave of deadly storms to hit the state in less than a week. Some residents of the hardest hit areas are starting to clear up the debris themselves not wanting to wait for overwhelmed dump trucks. If you find yourself going into these disaster areas to help cleanup you might want to bring along a good dump trailer to help out.

Hurricane Season Forecasters Predict 17 Hurricanes

Hurricane season is coming soon and as many of you saw on the news-there have been an inordinate number of tornadoes lately. I think this year is going to present more storms than last year-or at least just as many. According to the weather forecasters we will have 17 hurricanes this year-which is equal to the number last year and at least 5 of them will a category 3 or above. So I think it behooves everyone to be more prepared this time around.
One way of getting ready is to get a really good dump trailer for your pickup truck. Even if you don't end up needing it this year, you can still use it for yard work and I'm sure that you will find many neighbors that would love to rent it from you. If you get the kind that attaches to a trailer hitch it can be pulled by many different types of heavy duty pickup trucks. The Dump Trailers at Florida Earth Movers are reasonably priced and if you tell them what kind of vehicle you have to pull it with they can help you pick out which one would be best for you.

What is a Dump Trailer

A dump truck is a truck used for transporting materials (usually gravel or some type of soil) for construction. A typical dump truck is equipped with a hydraulically operated open-box bed hinged at the rear, the front of which can be lifted up to allow the contents to be deposited on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery.
A dump trailer works primarily the same way but is pulled behind a truck as a separate vehicle from the truck. Depending on what type of dump trailer you get the connections to the truck it is being pulled by vary. Most dump trailers can be pulled by a pickup truck equipped with a reese hitch, fifth wheel or ball hitch. When shopping for a dump trailer be sure you look for the one that will work with the type of hitch you already have on your truck or plan on getting one that will work.
I have found the people at Florida Earth Movers are very knowledgeable about these things for the best thing to do would be to call them, as I am sure they can be of great help with such matters.

Chipper Bodies for Pickup Trucks

We do alot of land clearing and find that using the wood chips as fill and to make properties look better around the borders is a great idea. We needed a way to haul the chips to other properties we were working on so found a great Chipper dump body for our pickup truck from Florida Earth Movers
It bolts on to the top rail of the dump truck and has four hooks mounted on each side of the top of it for easy installation and removal. It holds up to 10 1/2 cubic yards of material so there is plenty of room for storing wood chips for use with a large chipper.

It is so much easier to use than the kind with the just enough room for the wheels that you have to worry about rolling off the side of. And it comes in many different sizes in case you only need one for a motorcycle or ATV. You can see car trailers here. If you are looking for an easy to use car or motorcycle trailer this is just what you've been looking for.

Utility Trailers for Our Landscaping Business

We are starting to get really busy this time of year doing landscaping here in Florida and having a good utility trailer is an absolute must. We needed one that could haul all our mowers, rakes, weedwackers, edgers and blowers as well as potted plants and small trees. So I shopped around and found just the ticket at Florida Earth Movers
They have all kinds of trailers to look at but I went straight for the one here landscaping trailer with all the standard features and ordered it with some of the options.
They come in all different sizes that you can comfortably haul behind a truck. My husband was so happy to finally get a new trailer and gave his old one to our son who is now joining us in the landscaping business. Of course we are hoping he goes to college after he finishes high school but it is a great way for him to make a lot of extra money this summer. He is already offering jobs to some of his classmates to help him and may end up being a boss himself before the year is out.

Gooseneck Trailers are Easy to Haul

I have been looking into what would be the most functional type of trailer and I have found that a goose neck works great with my Dually pickup truck. It has a built in goose neck hitch so I shopped around for a dump trailer that had a gooseneck on it and came across the one on Gooseneck Trailer
It fit perfectly with my truck and I am able to use it to haul all kinds of debris, sand, mulch and landscape materials easily. I would highly recommend that if you are looking for a goose neck trailer to give them a visit. They also have a lot of other types of trailers for many different uses.

Storm Debris Cleanup

After all the news about global warming, bird flu and mad cow you just know that this year is going to be a bang up year for hurricanes. Knowing how the past 2 years have been here in Florida now is a good time to plan ahead and have good dump trailer on hand. Or at the very least a dump bed for your pickup for those big cleanup jobs. Even if you don't need it you or your teenagers can sure make money helping those that do. I found some great dump beds for pickups and ended up buying one for our Ford F150. We just threw all those palm fronds, branches and shovel fulls of debris in the bed and dumped it into a big pile for burning later. It was a whole lot easier than using a wheel barrow. We didn't get hit that bad around here so it was mostly yard cleanup but it was alot bigger than just plain yard work. We lost a few pine trees and maples that had to be cut up. So plan ahead and get yersef the biggest dump bed or dump trailer you can afford - I hear this years gonna be just as bad as last year if not worse. You can't help but think that looking at all the bad weather in the mid west and most recently Australia. We get tornadoes here too but I haven't seen anything that bad yet.
God Bless and hope you'all have a safe summer.

Cleaning up After Hurricanes

Last summer we bought a hurricane damaged building that needed alot of roof repairs and were faced with having alot of debris to cleanup. I looked into renting a dumpster but they wanted us to sign a year long contract which I felt we did not need. So that's when I looked into buying a dump trailer that we could haul ourselves.
After much comparison shopping I found the
heavy duty dumpster
It is great for disaster cleanup, roofing tear offs, hauling debris or other materials requiring large volumes that need dumping. So now we have our dumpster on wheels!
No monthly leasing costs and we take it all to the recycling dump which does not charge us.

Uses for Small Dump Trailers

We were doing some landscaping recently and I felt the need to find a really good small dump trailer that could be used for hauling debris and dirt on our property.
That's when I ran across small dump trailers they have a wide selection of large and small dump trailers for all kinds of uses.
The sales people were quite knowledgeable about what kind of trailer I would need for what it was I was trying to do.
We have quite a few acres of land that needs to cleaned up and their smallest model was just right. It is built with a heavy duty 12 Ga. floor and 14 Ga. sides. The double action tailgate is also built with 12 Ga. steel. The low 23" deck height makes it a breeze to load and the standard hand held remote control makes it the perfect package!
