A hydraulic pump for a dump trailer has to answer a straightforward question before anything else: will it lift the bed without making the control setup complicated? For many owners, the real decision is whether one power unit can pull together the reservoir, motor, and remote control in a single install.
Quick verdict
This 20-quart double-acting power unit combines a metal tank, a 1.6 kW 12V DC motor, and power-up / power-down operation. It is rated at 3,200 psi on port A and 1,500 psi on port B, and it includes a 15-foot pendant remote. For a 12V dump trailer, this setup gives you lifting pressure, powered return, and remote control in one unit.
Who it suits
This unit suits a dump trailer owner who wants the pump, tank, and control pendant together in one kit. The remote control means you can stay clear while the bed cycles, which is useful when working around the trailer.
Meaningful trade-offs
The flow rate is up to 0.91 GPM. That is a moderate number, so the cylinder moves steadily rather than quickly. The motor is 12V DC, so the trailer or vehicle needs to supply that voltage. These two details set realistic expectations for how fast you can cycle the bed.

The strongest reason to choose this unit is the included remote setup: a 15-foot pendant plus two spare SAE #6 fittings means you have the control and the fittings to connect without ordering extras. The main limitation is the same moderate flow. You get controlled, steady cylinder movement, not a fast dump.
Bottom line
At USD 240.00, this unit combines the pump, reservoir, and remote in one package. If a steady cycle speed works for your trailer, this is a straightforward buy.
