DO NOT buy a trailer until you see this.

What happens here

The host then introduces a red dump trailer, highlighting its robust construction. Josh explains that this model features full tubular construction, which significantly reduces frame flex and twisting – a common issue with dump trailers. This solid design allows the bed to be bumped and loaded without compromising structural integrity. He also points out the hinges, which are larger, beefier, and cut into the frame for maximum support, ensuring they are a strong failure point. The hoist is telescopic, a more durable and reliable option compared to scissor hoists often seen in the industry.

Goal: Showcase the robust design features of a quality dump trailer.

>> you you may not be able to climb that when that back end pops up. It's even it's even to the fact too that like the scissors most of your scissors are not going to So our tilt point is right here. So and that's another thing we should probably touch on too is the actual hinges on this. >> So this we don't like a lot of people will either run like a rod through this and they're tilting the whole thing on a single rod. Um so we use a greasable true hinge. So, this hinge right here that's on this is what you're going to see in about 99% of the dump trailers that are manufactured. 14,000lb dump trailers. >> Now, as we look right here, to me, this is the Cadillac. This is the echelon of >> Yeah. >> of equipment trailers. I mean, >> I was going to say this is a be It's a be >> It's a be This trailer for an equipment trailer. Two 10,000lb axles. >> Mhm. that are true 10,000lb axles, meaning that all of the components are designed to haul 10,000 each and stop >> and stop. Okay. >> From a 7K to a 10K. There's such a massive >> And what we like to do is get the biggest, baddest, be best, and then downrate it. So, we don't need a class A license to haul it. >> Right. Yeah. >> Now, this one also has I call it a torsion tube in the center. Is that the >> torque tube? That's what we it's it's called a lot of people call it a lot of different things, but essentially it's a torque tube that runs from the front of the trailer all the way to the back and we're welding all the way around on every single crossmember. So, what that does, we compartmentalize that thing. So, we're not just welding at the front and the back and you got a tube that's sitting there flopping. That's not going to do you too much good cuz you're just relying on your end welds, right, >> to keep that from twisting. So, we sit here and we go down >> every every crossmember. Let's crawl go on it. Now, maybe you guys have seen this before because this is the trailer that we bought from Josh last year. And when we're we're doing this as a giveaway, we wanted to get you guys the best of the best. So, this is this torque tube that he's referring to that runs down the entire length of the trailer. And as you look, every single crossmember is got a weld on it both on both sides. You can see it right there as well as right there. >> And your crossmembers too on this stand, they're they're a lot bigger. So, a…
