Why Sauttis Trailers Stand Out
Solving Dump Trailer Problems Others Ignore
Owning a trailer shouldn’t be a constant headache. But too many industrial trailers fail in the same places: wiring shorts, gates that jam, hinges that break, and suspension that can’t handle the load. These failures aren’t minor inconveniences. They stop work, endanger equipment, and cost real money.
Sauttis industrial dump trailers were designed to solve these problems from the ground up. The 7-gauge steel frame, greasable joints, and nylon washers reduce wear and prevent rust, while four heavy-duty D-rings inside the bed are necessary to secure every load. With 10 inches of ground clearance when the dump box is fully extended, you have room for safe operation, even on uneven terrain.
Industrial-Grade Construction
- Built from 7-gauge steel for maximum durability.
- All high-wear pivot points are greasable, reducing maintenance and extending lifespan.
- Nylon washers between joints prevent wear and rust.
- Removable 7-way plug for easy storage
- Bolted-on fenders and hinges make replacement simple and field-friendly.
- Every surface goes through a 5-stage pretreatment process (degrease, phosphate, sealer, zinc-rich primer, powder coat) for long-term corrosion resistance.
- Patent-pending I-beam reinforcement system reduces frame twist and flex, delivering a stronger, more stable foundation under heavy loads.
- Protected fasteners are fitted with a washer to safeguard the powder-coated surface from damage during assembly and use.
- Breakaway switch is strategically housed inside the tongue to shield it from impact and debris.
Modular Wire Harness System
- Precision-built wiring harness is manufactured in-house to maintain full quality control and deliver dependable performance in every trailer.
- Six-section modular design allows individual sections to be serviced or replaced independently, so a single damaged wire does not require full harness replacement.
- Ultrasonically welded connections on all joints for strong, consistent electrical bonds that eliminate weak crimp points.
- Adhesive-lined heat shrink sealing is waterproof to prevent moisture and corrosion.
- Automotive-grade Deutsch connectors provide secure plug-and-play replacements for easy serviceability.
- High-temperature wrapping & shrouding protects wires from heat, moisture, and debris. Areas that cannot be enclosed are wrapped in PET tape for durability and a clean appearance.
- Protected frame pass-throughs with plastic bushings prevent friction where wiring passes through metal.
- Patent-pending metal guard shields critical sections of the harness from impact.
- True wishbone brake wiring feeds each brake independently for balanced power distribution and consistent braking performance.
- Individually tested sections are performed before installation to ensure reliable, long-term operation.
Lighting System Designed for Safety and Visibility
Lighting is built for safety and visibility. Shock-resistant LEDs with friction-welded joints handle vibration and impact with ease. Backup lights illuminate the area behind the trailer, running lights highlight the tires, and directional brake lights and marker lights ensure other drivers know exactly where your trailer is and where it’s going. Ground-illuminating lights make it easy to see and maneuver your trailer at night or in low visibility.
- Shock-resistant LED lights with ultrasonically welded joints for vibration resistance.
- Backup lights, running lights, and ground-illuminating lights provide visibility in low-light conditions.
- Directional brake lights and marker lights are mounted in bolt-on housings for easy replacement.
- A 7-way receptacle at the front allows replacement leads without touching the whole harness.
- Integrated LED tire lighting illuminates the tires during night driving and backing up for safer, easier maneuvering.
Advanced Gate and Ramp Design
The rugged back gate combines versatility and durability. A three-way system lets you tilt, swing, or fully open it depending on your load. Patent-pending adjustable swing doors stay level during operation, while greasable joints ensure smooth movement. Safety chains control tilt angles, and stabilizer drop legs provide secure support when loading heavy equipment. Ramps with knuckle-saving grips are easy to deploy and self-storing.
- Three-way back gate offers tilting, swinging, or barn-door function.
- Greasable joints and safety chains ensure smooth and controlled gate movement.
- Stabilizer drop legs provide support when loading equipment.
- Ramps with knuckle-saving grips are easy to deploy and store.
Suspension and Handling
- Patented independent suspension provides smoother towing, even with heavy loads.
- Greasable shackle links and bolts reduce wear and maintenance.
Integrated Tongue Storage & Hydraulic System
The clean, guarded tongue compartment houses the hydraulic tank, pump, lift control, battery, 110V charging system, and solar pulse charger. Designed with a slight incline and tapered sides, it directs fluid away from critical electronics and hydraulics in the event of a leak, protecting key components while maintaining easy access for inspection and service.
- Clean, non-cluttered tongue compartment houses hydraulic pump, tank, lift control, battery, 110V charging, and solar pulse charging system.
- Slight incline and tapered sides prevent fluid from damaging electronics or hydraulics in the event of a leak.
- Protects critical components with easy access for maintenance and inspection.
Retractable Tarp System
- Structurally rated, fiberglass-wrapped composite rails.
- Easy hand crank with locking mechanism.
- Designed for heavy-duty, industrial use and long-term durability.
Replaceable Components
One of the biggest frustrations with standard industrial dump trailers is that so many components, including hinges, fenders, and gates, are welded in place. When something breaks, even a simple hinge, repairs can be time-consuming and disruptive. Sauttis trailers take a different approach: every high-wear part is bolted on, not welded. This means components can be easily replaced in the field, reducing downtime, simplifying maintenance, and saving money over the life of your trailer.
- Fenders, hinges, doors, ramps, and lighting are all replaceable and bolted on, not welded.
- Greasable joints and nylon washers minimize wear and reduce downtime.
- Attention to detail ensures every part is serviceable in the field. Less maintenance = less hassle.
Dump Box
- All major frame and body components are formed from 7-gauge or heavier steel for unmatched durability.
- High-wear fenders, tarp kit, door latches, and tail lights are bolt-on assemblies, allowing quick, easy replacement in the field.
- Fully adjustable doors are designed to prevent binding and dragging over time and can be adjusted in, out, up, and down to maintain proper alignment and ensure an easy, reliable shut every time
- Top rail protector is constructed of high-strength composite board that’s fiber-wrapped for durability and finished for a clean, refined appearance.
- 45°+ dump angle ensures fast, complete unloading, even with sticky or heavy materials.
- Superior ground clearance of over 10 inches at full tilt for easier dumping and reduced risk of underbody contact.
