1. Do not exceed the trailer’s 14,000 lb GVWR. This is the combined weight of the trailer plus the load, not just the cargo. The trailer itself weighs about 4,580 lb, so your load must stay well under that limit to protect the axles, suspension, tires, brakes, and frame. 2. No concrete, big rocks, or large volumes of dirt/gravel over 4 yards or possibly less depending on the density of material. These overload the trailer fast and can bend the bed or damage the hoist. 3. Shingles and other heavy debris only in small, even loads. Ask first if you’re unsure about weight. 4. Use the loading ramps carefully for vehicles/tractors: go straight, slow, and centered—no spinning tires or jumping off the ramps. 5. Dump only on firm, level ground. Never raise the bed on steep slopes or soft soil. 6. Secure the rear gate and latches before driving; dragging or driving with the gate open can damage hinges and doors. 7. Return the trailer empty and swept out. Excessive mud or stuck material may incur a cleaning fee.
