2026 Norstar DCB10K 72x12 Dump Trailer – 9,900 LB GVWR
The Norstar DCB10K 72x12 General Duty Dump Trailer is built for customers who need the strength and versatility of a tandem-axle dump trailer without stepping all the way up to a full 14K model.
With a 9,900 lb GVWR, tandem 5,200 lb electric-brake axles, a heavy-duty 10-gauge smooth steel floor, and Norstar’s TH-516 scissor hoist, the DCB10K is an excellent choice for landscaping, property maintenance, construction, cleanup work, equipment hauling, and everyday material transport.
The compact 72” x 12’ dump bed makes this trailer easier to maneuver in residential areas, job sites, and tighter spaces while still providing enough capacity for serious work.
WHY CHOOSE THE NORSTAR DCB10K?
The DCB10K fills the gap between lighter-duty dump trailers and larger 14K commercial models.
Its low 24” deck height helps make loading equipment easier, while the included 12” x 80” slide-in ramps allow you to haul compact tractors, mowers, landscaping equipment, and other machinery in addition to traditional dump loads.
The trailer comes standard with 20” tall 12-gauge steel sides, giving you a strong and durable dump body while keeping overall trailer weight manageable.
A power up / power down hydraulic system operates the heavy-duty scissor hoist for controlled raising and lowering of the dump bed.
