Buyer Beware 7 Trailer Secrets Manufacturers Hide

What happens here

Don demonstrates the optional rear jack stands, which are crucial for stabilizing the trailer when loading heavy equipment without being connected to a vehicle. These supports prevent the trailer from tipping or lifting the back of the tow vehicle, enhancing safety during loading and unloading. Another optional feature, the 'gatekeeper,' is shown. This lower part of the ramp solidifies between the bottom rungs, preventing loose materials like mulch or gravel from spilling out the back of the trailer during transport. This is especially useful for hauling aggregates.

Goal: Learn about optional features that improve trailer stability and cargo containment.

So, we went ahead and put that on the one that you're giving away in your promo deal. >> And that's an option with Flo. >> Right. >> But, if that's something if you guys are going to be hauling loose material, make sure that this because otherwise it's just going to blow straight out the back. There's There's not going to be any wind resistance. >> Especially if it's anything that could be bolts and rocks and stuff like that, you got to be careful.
