Diamond C -UNVEILS Trailers-NEVER SEEN in PUBLIC!

What happens here

Jacob showcases a low-profile dump trailer (LPT) with an 18,000 lbs GVWR, significantly higher than the standard 14,000 lbs. He explains that it features 7-gauge material instead of the typical 10-gauge, making it much thicker and more robust. The trailer's floor is constructed using three sheets of steel: two sheets wrap up and over the sides, and a third sheet covers the middle, creating a highly durable and robust floor. For visual inspection, look for any signs of rust, dents, or damage on the thicker 7-gauge steel. Pay close attention to the seams and attachment points of the three-sheet floor for any separation or stress.

Goal: A low-profile dump trailer (LPT) is introduced, emphasizing its heavier gauge steel construction, high GVWR, and unique floor design for enhanced durability.

cylinder up front okay so now we get into the big dog big change okay okay so as i'm let's like let's look at this we look at this frame right here and then six inch obviously okay six inch high beam on both of these and now we come over here though because it did in standard trim so this is a 18 000 pound package and the standard is 14. so it would use an eight inch iv structural beam like that but where we get into needing engineered vape is when we do the higher gvwr packages the eighteen thousand the twenty thousand the twenty four thousand is this an engineered one this is engineer crate xx2 is this kind of the same as the mvc it's still a 1.0 but it will it will integrate the 2.0 as time goes on so but again live and stronger and we do the engineered frame when we get into where it where it makes more sense you know the heavier gpwr packages so again this one's rated 18 000. it's a beast i can i can tell all right 32 inch sides with the board bracket seven gauge material instead of 10 gauge so it's even again thicker and it's a it's a battleship but a lightweight battleship yeah it's a a technologically advanced battle for them there was issues you know the little dump trailers they were just so dang tall they were hard they were they were hunky to work over the side where so when we came up with the low profile hobby we were able to inset the dump body frame and get the the deck hot down traditionally they were about 32 inch deck i didn't even notice that they're 24 inches all right there's a video jump on our youtube channel i don't know shameless plug but we have a store a video that's on the story of the original low profile jump trailer that my brother kind of gives the back story yeah so him and a couple of our designers were you know were instrumental in kind of changing the dump trailer market several other manufacturers jumped right on board later on and uh made their own versions yeah but uh but anyways it's it this has this has nice side walls yeah on it but you can still look you can still look inside that's so accessible so right here all the way over up and then wraps around is one sheet and then on this side is a second sheet and then in the dead middle they take a third sheet and put on top of it so that's how they do their floors that's a little different i challenge the man to tear it up
