    Ive searched and the information is slim. Can anyone tell me about Trailstar and Wink end dump trailers. Are they strong quality and trustworthy for the long haul? Thanks in advance

    There is a type of end dump that is like a C laid open to sky front to back with a solid beam under it front to back that holds the hydraulic lift pipe.

    It's a wonderful dump.

    You also have the standard 30 foot dump that looks like a waffle for lack of a better description. I don't know off hand it's name. those are also very good. Only 30 foot because stone weights out before volume out.

    Pulled a few trail stars, never owned one personally, but if I was to purchase one it would be a trail star or Mac, the 2015 east I had at my last job was the biggest bag of #### I've ever pulled/dumped

    I've pulled Trailstar and they are a great trailer, I just don't like the weight. I've been talking to Jimmy Wink at Wink trailers and have spec'd out my next trailer which will be a Wink because of the weight. You didn't say what you wanted your trailer for so it's hard to tell you any thing really helpful.
