What happens here
Curtis from Gridko presents their 16-20E dump trailer, highlighting its unique integration with the Ford F250's power take-off (PTO) unit. This setup allows the trailer's hydraulic lifting system to run directly from the truck's engine, providing 4000 PSI and 13 gallons per minute of hydraulic power. This eliminates the need for a separate battery system, ensuring continuous operation and zero downtime for tasks like lifting 16-foot dumpsters. The gooseneck area has been made more compact to increase the turning radius, and all hydraulic plumbing is neatly organized and protected at the front of the trailer with a steel cover. The trailer also boasts a heavy-duty frame constructed from 3x8 and 3x10 fully boxed steel crossbeams, ensuring robustness for demanding use.
Goal: Showcase Gridko's innovative dump trailer with truck PTO integration, heavy-duty construction, and adjustable body lengths.
