Dumper

Metsjö’s tractor-drawn dump trailers are developed for professional users in construction, agriculture, earthmoving and bulk transport where high payload capacity, low fuel consumption and long service life are critical.

The trailers combine robust construction, advanced chassis technology and low tare weight to maximize transport efficiency both on the road and in demanding terrain. Thanks to smart engineering and the use of high-strength materials, Metsjö dump trailers can transport large volumes of material while maintaining low tare weight, low soil compaction and excellent stability at high transport speeds.

Metsjö develops dump trailers for:

Construction transport
Earthmoving and excavation
Gravel and aggregate transport
Bulk material handling
Agriculture
Biomass transport
Wood chips and bulk logistics

Heavy-duty construction with low tare weight

One of Metsjö’s greatest strengths is the ability to combine extremely robust construction with low tare weight.

Through the use of:

Hardox 450
High-strength steel structures
Optimized chassis geometry
Laser-cut and precision-bent components

the trailers can be built exceptionally strong without unnecessary weight.

This provides:

Higher payload capacity
Lower fuel consumption
More tonnes transported per trip
Lower cost per transported tonne
Reduced soil compaction

The trailers are engineered for demanding long-term operation in both agriculture and construction environments.

Advanced hydraulic suspension for stability and comfort

Many Metsjö dump trailers can be equipped with advanced hydraulic suspension based on the same technology used in Metsjö’s larger hook lift trailers.

The hydraulic suspension system is developed for:

High transport stability
Comfort at high transport speeds
Low soil compaction
Active weight distribution
Improved vehicle control

The system combines:

Laser-aligned axles
Communicating hydraulic suspension
Low centre of gravity
Optimized chassis geometry

providing excellent stability even during:

Heavy loads
Uneven terrain
Off-road operation
High-speed transport

Independent tests have shown fuel savings of approximately 22–28% compared with simpler suspension systems.

Dump bodies engineered for efficient material handling

Metsjö offers several different dump body designs depending on the application and material type.

Bodies are available with:

Straight sides for maximum volume
Folded and rounded shapes for improved material release
Reinforced front sections
Smooth internal surfaces without material traps

The rounded and angled designs allow material to:

Release faster during tipping
Reduce material build-up
Improve unloading efficiency
Reduce wear and cleaning requirements

The upper edge of the body can be reinforced with an outward-folded top rail that improves structural strength and provides more controlled loading.

Stylish and functional trailers for excavators

Metsjö also develops dump trailers designed to be towed behind excavators.

These models are characterized by:

Rounded front panels
Low and stable construction
Modern design
Excellent visibility and functionality

The rounded shapes not only create a highly attractive appearance but also improve material flow, structural durability and cleaning performance.

Modular trailer platforms with interchangeable bodies

Many Metsjö dump trailers are based on the MetaQ modular concept with interchangeable bodies.

This allows the same chassis to be used for multiple transport applications:

Dump bodies
Silage bodies
Grain bodies
Bale transport bodies
Machinery transport platforms

Since the largest part of the investment cost lies in:

The chassis
Axles
Suspension
Braking systems

the modular system provides high flexibility and excellent long-term operating economy.

EU type approved dump trailers for 40 and 60 km/h

Metsjö offers EU type approved tractor-drawn trailers according to Regulation (EU) 167/2013.

The approvals include:

40 km/h
60 km/h

and the categories:

R3A
R3B
R4A
R4B

depending on axle configuration and specification.

This enables:

Legal high-speed transport
Simplified EU registration
Efficient long-distance transport
High transport capacity with maintained safety

Safety systems for professional heavy-duty transport

EU-approved Metsjö trailers can be equipped with:

ABS braking systems
Load-sensing air brakes
RSS Roll Stability Support
Steering axles
Side marker lights with integrated indicators

These systems improve:

Braking stability
Roll-over resistance
Transport safety
High-speed stability
Safety during heavy-duty operation

Documented low soil compaction and low fuel consumption

Metsjö’s chassis concept has been verified in independent Swedish studies.

The studies show:

Approximately 25% lower fuel consumption
Approximately 50% lower soil compaction

compared with conventional systems.

These advantages are made possible through:

Low tare weight
Hydraulic suspension
Laser-aligned axles
Optimized weight distribution
Large wheels
Multiple axles

Swedish-built dump trailers for professional operation

All Metsjö trailers are engineered and manufactured in Sweden with focus on:

Long service life
High structural strength
Professional heavy-duty use
Low operating costs
Advanced hydraulics and chassis technology

Metsjö is certified according to:

ISO 9001
ISO 3834-2
