Buyer Beware 7 Trailer Secrets Manufacturers Hide

What happens here

The discussion covers the spare tire (a full-size spare is included, unlike many competitors) and the innovative three-stage tilt feature. Don demonstrates how a smaller single-axle trailer can be tilted back to half-way (using a limiting strap) or fully tilted (by removing the strap), allowing equipment with low ground clearance, like golf carts or zero-turn mowers, to be easily driven on or off without hitting high spots. This eliminates the need for traditional ramps and simplifies loading, especially for recreational vehicles.

Goal: Understand the benefits of a full-size spare tire and a versatile tilt mechanism for easier loading.

What they say

we call it Versatrack. >> Okay. >> Um I think there's some, you know, kind of lookalikes out there. >> A little thing, but do the all trailers come with a spare tire, full-size spare? >> You know, it is the dealer's add-on thing, but I think that the dealers tell me that 99% of the trailers they sell, they sell a spare tire with it. >> Now, does this trailer or that trailer feature the three-level uh position on this? >> Hey, you got a good memory on some of this stuff. So, these are tandem axle. >> Okay. >> So, they don't tilt. >> Okay. >> All of the single, which is the majority of them, >> Right. >> all of the smaller ones and we even do You can see a single over there. They have that three-stage >> Does that one have it? >> Yeah. >> Let's go look at it. So, this is something else that John, you explain to them why they would want a three-stage tilt. Would you Would you please? >> Yeah, it can be a little hard to demo when it's not hooked up to a vehicle, but let's give it a whirl here. So, >> How about on the vehicle? >> Okay, if you're if you're going to load, let's say a a four-wheeler, an ATV, right? >> Okay. >> You can just tilt this thing back, drive it on. You You have plenty of clearance on your ATV. You're not going to bottom out. It's just like any other tilt uh ramp trailer. It's It's pretty simple. >> Okay. >> If you want to unload some mulch or something or this is in your way. We built this so that it'll come right off. >> Okay. >> Just get it at the right angle and it pulls right out. So, now you could shovel stuff out, but if you want to unload things without a tilt angle, there's a safety pin here. Down below is just a hand knob. If I pull this clamp forward, leave this on. It's going to be hard to see. That's a limiter strap. Now, it'll tilt back about halfway. And my demo, maybe I shouldn't have left this on after but why that's nice is now you have a zero clearance plate. So, you can come up on this with a golf cart or like a zero turn or something that's got very minimal clearance and you don't have any high spot to get over. >> Okay. So, how are you going to use this? Like, my nephew was talking to me about trailers yesterday and he had five or six jobs lined up. And I says, "Okay, that's five or six jobs out of 1 week. What are you going to do with it in 2 months, 3 months, a year, 2…
