an ULTRA smooth Equipment trailer 4K

What happens here

The trailer features an integrated toolbox at the front, housing a battery and a wired remote control. To operate the trailer, open the toolbox, activate the system, and use the remote control to raise or lower the deck. The remote has a long wire, allowing the operator to stand at the rear of the trailer while adjusting its height. Once at the desired travel height, two safety blocks are engaged to mechanically lock the trailer in position, ensuring stability even if the hydraulic system experiences a complete failure.

Goal: Learn how to raise, lower, and secure the trailer's deck using the hydraulic system and safety locks.

Tools and materials

  • Safety Blocks — Mechanically locking the trailer deck at travel height
  • Wired Remote Control — Controlling the hydraulic lift system

really easy to operate we have an integrated toolbox here so we turn it on and there's a wired remote that reaches from here all the way to the rear of the trailer okay so basic basically it's up or down it's a really easy function so we'll run it up let's go back here come on back with me Neil I kind of want to watch this thing look at the ground clearance on this thing think about this you guys you're coming off the road and you're coming into maybe not the best circumstances or situation look at this ground clearance look at this thing this let's put this in perspective we're up to my knee I mean most trailers are not going to give you that kind of trailers are not going to give you that kind of ground clearance corre plus give you the capability to go flat down onto the ground corre what kind of pieces of equipment do you think would really benefit from something that can look flat straight down on the ground a lot of the anything that's really low BR clearance Works uh it's phenomenal forklifts forklifts uh scissor lifts correct U scrubbers floor scrubbers toolboxes I mean any tool boxes what do you mean by a tool box uh big mechanics toolbx or Knack boxes that are to maneuver or handle instead of getting a ramp truck you can push them or drag them right up with a winch so you have actual bracket for the Wench yeah right oh so you can hook a wench up right there and drop it down but let's talk about dropping stuff down when we're going down the road how do we go down the road because we're not going down the road like this correct how how do we go down the road so there is a a a margin of tra or elevation that was optimal that we've designed the camber and the toe of the axles so that they're they're running at the proper thing okay so basically this is our Max elevation so we would want to lower this down to our ride height yep here we go let's put the two safety blocks [Music] down so now we've taken the Hydraulics out of the equation yeah you can have a complete catastrophic failure of the hydraulic system and with these locks in place is that going to hold yeah the load will settle down onto the lock and at that point um the axle is designed to be torsionally stable so that you could have a total failure and the load will maintain uh stability going down the road so you're not losing that and also hold it up off the ground and keep it in the safe man okay how often of or how many times how many times has you have you had one of these hydraulic…
