How to Get Replacement Parts for Your Dump Insert
EZ-Dumper® inserts are built for durability but like any hard-working piece of equipment, wear and tear is inevitable. Whether you're managing a fleet or running a single work truck, you may eventually need replacement parts to keep your dump insert operating at full capacity.
So where do you go when you need a new tailgate hinge? A hydraulic line? Or a remote for your Monarch pump?
If you're asking, "Where can I get replacement parts for my EZ-Dumper®?" you're in the right place. In this post, we’ll walk you through the right way to order OEM parts, what components wear out most often, and how EZ-Dumper® ensures your insert stays field-ready.
Why Replacement Parts Matter
EZ-Dumper® inserts are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA to perform under tough conditions. But even with robust steel construction and quality hydraulics, moving parts eventually require attention.
- Using authentic replacement components:
- Maintains your insert’s performance and safety
- Protects your investment from premature failure
- Helps ensure compatibility with your existing setup
- Keeps your warranty intact
Trying to “make it work” with generic parts or off-brand components can cause hydraulic inefficiencies, leaks, or even frame damage.
That’s why EZ-Dumper® offers a dedicated channel to source the right part the first time.

Commonly Replaced EZ-Dumper® Parts
While EZ-Dumper® inserts are known for longevity, certain components are naturally exposed to stress, elements, and routine jobsite wear. Here are some of the most commonly requested replacement parts:
Hydraulic Components
- Monarch 12V double-acting pump: The workhorse behind every lift—can last years but needs proper maintenance.
- Hydraulic hoses: Exposed to dirt and weather, they can wear or crack over time.
- Hydraulic cylinders: Rarely fail but are replaceable if damaged.
Electrical Components
- Remote control switches: These see daily use and occasional drops or weather exposure.
- Solenoids and relays: Critical for pump operation and subject to corrosion in high-salt areas.
- Wiring harnesses: Can be damaged by sharp debris or improper routing.
Mechanical Parts
- Tailgate hinges: Support regular loads and may wear out or bend over time.
- Spreader tailgate latches: If you're using your dump insert to spread material, these get heavy use.
- Cab protectors or side extension brackets: May need replacement after impact or years of field use.
Fasteners and Structural Accessories
- Stake pocket hardware
- Deck or side panel reinforcements
- Grease fittings and lubrication points
These parts are all available through EZ-Dumper®’s dealer network, and many are shown in the official parts PDF catalog provided on the website.
How to Identify the Right Part
Before contacting your dealer, it’s helpful to gather the following:
- Your insert model number (e.g., EZ0012T for the 8’ steel model or EZ0012TSS-SB for the 6’ stainless model)
- Your serial number if available (this ensures precise compatibility)
- A description of the part or issue (photos help if emailing)
- Reference the EZ-Dumper® Owner’s Manual or the Parts Detail PDF to locate part names and numbers
Dealers can then identify your part and check if it's in stock or needs to be ordered. Many parts are available for quick shipment, including
drop shipping directly to your shop or garage.
Can I Order Parts Online?
Currently, EZ-Dumper® does not sell replacement parts directly online to the public through e-commerce. This is intentional. Working through dealers allows:
- Proper verification of the part you need
- Install support or accessory compatibility checks
- Prevention of incorrect orders or unsafe pairings
This also helps maintain the integrity of your equipment and warranty, especially if you plan to install the part yourself.
Can I Install Replacement Parts Myself?
That depends on the part and your comfort level.
For smaller replacements like:
- Remote switches
- Hydraulic quick-connects
- Tailgate latch pins installation can often be done with basic tools and reference to your Owner’s Manual.
For larger repairs such as hydraulic pumps, cylinder replacement, or structural weld-on components it’s best to work with your local dealer or a trained technician. Improper installation could lead to unsafe operation or void your equipment’s coverage.
Always disconnect the battery before attempting electrical or hydraulic repairs, and never work under a raised dump insert without using proper safety supports.
Tips for Preventing Wear and Extending Part Life
While EZ-Dumper® makes it easy to get replacement parts when needed, good maintenance can dramatically slow the need for repairs. Here are some habits that protect your insert and its components:
- Grease pivot points regularly (your manual shows exact locations)
- Inspect hoses and wiring for signs of abrasion or UV cracking
- Check hydraulic fluid monthly and replace per the manual
- Clean buildup from under the insert and around the pump after each season
- Don’t overload your insert beyond the 6,000 lb lift rating even momentarily
- Secure loads properly to reduce tailgate and hinge stress
These small steps go a long way in keeping your dump insert performing like new and minimizing the need for replacement parts down the line.
What About Accessories?
Many customers ask if accessories like tarp kits, side extensions, or cab protectors can be added after initial purchase. The answer is yes and these are often available as standalone kits through your dealer.
You can order:
- Steel or stainless steel cab protectors
- Tailgate spreader chutes
- Bolt-on tarp kits for debris control
- Side extension brackets to increase capacity
Because EZ-Dumper® accessories are designed to bolt to the insert frame, you can add them any time your needs change.
Final Thoughts: Get the Right Part, the Right Way
Your EZ-Dumper® insert is an investment one that should deliver years of reliable use with only minimal part replacement. When something does need service or attention, it’s important to go through the right channels.
By working with an authorized EZ-Dumper® dealer, you’ll get:
- Guaranteed-fit OEM replacement parts
- Access to drop shipping and install guidance
- Model-specific support and long-term service options
Don’t gamble on the wrong part or delay a repair that could cost you downtime. Stay safe, stay productive, and always choose
genuine EZ-Dumper® parts.
