Understand Brakes and Proper Load Distribution

whatever projects I might be doing using gravity to my advantage. >> Gravity? Is that Do you do use gravity a lot, Don? >> Yeah, look it up in Wikipedia. It's gravity with an R. So that that's I don't know of any other trailer that has this feature or anything. >> we've showed you guys some unicorn features. We've showed you guys some other features standard in the industry. Let's talk about brakes on utility trailers, Don. Why the importance of that? When would a guy want brakes? When does a guy not want brakes? When should a guy care or not care? You tell me. >> So on these smaller ones, this is a little 8-ft trailer. It's got an 1,800-lb capacity. Nobody wants brakes on it. So much so that we don't even offer with brakes cuz they don't sell. >> Okay. >> But as soon as you start getting up into like that tandem we were looking at, that you know, the larger um we actually make those with or without brakes. If you're towing it with truck like you're driving, >> Yep. >> you could say do I want them or not. You know, it's up to you. If you're going through the mountains and stuff, I mean, I I would always tell people brakes are good idea. >> Right. >> But you wouldn't have to have them with a truck that size. But on those trailers, the vast majority that we do sell have electric brakes on both axles. >> to tow a John Deere 450 tracked excavator, which was 11,000 lb on a 1966 over-the-deck trailer that was gravity. >> You want brakes. >> That didn't have brakes. >> I know, well, >> [laughter] >> cuz it was so old. >> Yeah. >> Um you know, my dad just, you know, as a kid, you know, "Oh yeah, you go load up the trailer, you're like, then tow it everywhere and you're like, oh you don't need brakes, the truck's got the brakes, you know. >> [laughter] >> After you towed enough, you want brakes, trust me. I want brakes on everything there is cuz it sure is nice to reach down, grab that controller, and to control your load, especially if you don't load it correctly, which a lot of guys if they're just into this market, they're maybe not as comfortable or familiar with the proper loading of a trailer and where to load so on these small utility trailers, let's go back to the bigger one. But on a utility trailer, we're looking at it as the same as any other trailer, we want to have >> the weight over the axle. >> the weight over the axles…
