Table of Volumes of Common Dump Trailers in Cubic Feet and Cubic Yards (Plus Formula)

Dec. 6 2025 Reference By Matthew Polito

Below is our table of volume for common sizes of dump trailers, including 5x10, 6x10, 6x12, 7x12, 8x12 and so on. This gives you the volume in cubic feet and in cubic yards, assuming the dump bed is 2 feet deep. If you want to calculate the volume yourself, the formula is easy.

Volume Formula

Length (in feet) x width (in feet) x height (in feet) = Volume in cubic feet

Volume in cubic feet / 27 = volume in cubic yards

See our table of weight/density of various construction materials here. Full article on hydraulic cylinders for dump trailers is here.
