What happens here

The project begins by showcasing a standard 6.4 cubic yard dump trailer. The creator explains the intention to extend its sides to allow for greater carrying capacity, effectively combining two loads into one. He notes that the wooden planks chosen for the extension are approximately 3/16 inches too wide to fit seamlessly into the trailer's existing stake pockets, indicating a need for adjustment or force during installation.

Goal: Understand the existing trailer's capacity and identify the size discrepancy of the extension materials.

Tools and materials

  • Dump Trailer — The base structure to be modified and extended
  • Wooden Planks — The raw material for creating the upright posts and horizontal side boards of the extension

What they say

This right here is a 6.4 cubic yard dump trailer. But ever since I bought it, I've been wanting to extend the sides taller so that instead of taking two loads, I could take one load at once, save myself a whole lot of time all in a day's work. I am on video. So these are supposed to go into these slots. However, these are about 3/16 too wide. Let's see if we can
