HARD test at SOUTHLAND trailers 4K

What happens here

The final segment features a test of various trailer ramps using a heavy Hyundai wheel loader (weighing 43,000 lbs). The standard galvanized ramp (rated for 2,500 lbs each) and a premium aluminum ramp are placed on metal supports. The wheel loader slowly drives onto these ramps, demonstrating their ability to support the heavy weight without failure. The presenter emphasizes that the ramps are engineered with internal beam designs to distribute weight evenly, making them robust and reliable despite their relatively lightweight construction. He declares that breaking a Southland dump trailer ramp means you're an 'idiot,' or you'll get a hoodie and new ramps.

Goal: Demonstrate the extreme load capacity and robust engineering of Southland Trailer ramps.

Tools and materials

  • Hyundai Wheel Loader Hyundai — Providing extreme weight for ramp testing (43,000 lbs)
  • Metal Supports — Elevating the ramps for testing

now that one is underneath every one of these trailers all the way down the line okay so this is all his idea and he is a freaking crazy Canadian let's see what's going to happen never before so this is this ramp is this is our standard galvanized ramp that goes in our dump trailer our 14,000 lb bloody hell we do that one more time yeah go keep talking this is in our standard 14 ft 14,000lb dump trailer this is in our premium dump trailers with our 8K axles our premium aluminum ramps this one weighs in at well you've got this one this is what about 30 lb 40 lb yep we're going to test these ramps just just to make sure with that and that is well altogether if we could get it all on those ramps it's about 30,000 lb but we're going to start no it's more than that Zach how much does this thing weigh 43,000 lb all right it's a little more than don't ask a Canadian to do math okay don't ask him to do math it's a big one it's just freaking big we're stuck in metric I don't know right I thought you said when you're in Canada go Bigg or go home go biger go home you know what let's just see what's going to happen ready yeah this is a 40 lb aluminum ramp and this is a 40,000 lb [Music] payroll keep we going let's go give her go no back it on GI is PR did you guys did you guys just hear that I'm telling you these are freaking crazy Canadians well they're kind of like they speak my [Music] beautiful see how much that's sunk in I know now it has a bit of a bow now doesn't it somebody remember you heard it from Southland if you break your dump trailer ramp you're an idiot or we'll give you a hoodie and a mug and another set of ramps and congratulations I don't know how you did it but we couldn't do it so if you did it tell me about it we rate this ramp at 2500 lb each all of our ramps are rated for what the Bel trigger can hold we want to test it get it done right I now it's C I say this in in this one is this one still running yes sir oh this is a 12 gauge steel ramp everyone's going to say that ain't enough you need 10 gauge you need you need seven gauge 36 steel if you're going to build something you got to have more steel you got to have bigger steel if you engineer it right if that beam design underneath we were just looking at it that beam this is an engineered ramp that beam distributes the weight across the ramp you just saw it and it's the same beam that runs the length of the box underneath our dump trailers to distribute the weight evenly across the entire so…
