    Material density decides

    Concrete weighs roughly 4,000 lbs per cubic yard. A half-full 20-yard of concrete would exceed the legal hauling weight of the truck. The 10-yard lowboy is designed for that density.

    Loading height matters

    Lowboy walls are about 2 ft tall, so you can shovel or wheelbarrow directly in. A 20-yard standard is 4-5 ft tall — fine for furniture and debris you can throw in, but exhausting for shovels of dirt and rock.

    Choosing for mixed jobs

    Tearing out a patio AND remodeling the kitchen at the same time? Order both. Mixing concrete with drywall ruins recycling and triggers higher tipping fees.
