Belt Trailers For Sale

About Belt Semitrailers

New and used belt trailers, sometimes called “self-unloading trailers,” for sale on TruckPaper.com are a specialized type of semitrailer that features a conveyor belt or chain-and-flap assembly built into the trailer’s floor. When the trailer is parked, the operator can engage an electric or gas-powered motor that drives the belt system to quickly—often in five minutes or less—unload the trailer’s contents through a typically rearward chute or gate. The sloped sides of these trailers are designed to help funnel the trailer’s contents toward the belt as it empties. The belt can range in width from 25 inches to up to 60-inches or more, depending on the model.
