A Gravel Cart is a special type of Trailer used to place gravel backfill/filter material around land drainage pipes. They typically consist of a hopper type body to hold the material and a powered discharge conveyor or auger. The drive being either from the tractor or from the ground wheels to regulate discharge speed. A lot of early examples were designed and built by contractors own workshops for their own use to mechanise the placement of stone in slot drain trenches. Some are fitted with a blade to level out the spoil left by the trencher along side the trench.
