What they say

Hide

it daily like that, how many times that pain point comes up? >> Yep. Now, some people will say, "Well, you know, I wish we had a um a front hoist." >> Yeah. and that's fine, but I've had my front hoist on my dump trailers give me problems as much as any other hoist system out there. These guys have a scissor hoist, >> but they have a heavier duty scissor hoist. So, they actually use a heavier duty scissor hoist, the actual cylinder itself to give more lifting power versus the front loads that you typically will see. >> 7 ton on a 14,000lb trailer. So, you know that hoist is overkill and it's going to lift anything you put in there. Well, they talk about the stability of that scissor hoist. Also, I mean, you can see how that thing was mounted. Mounted well back into the frame on those engineered sills. Get a nice wide stance on that hoist. This is not to be downplayed. The size of the hoist itself is not to be down downplayed. There's no compromising on that. Now you do have options though with Southland. So this is Pora their bread and butter type of a trailer.

And I think you got the SL 714 16K HD. Okay. >> So on yours you're going to have the hydraulic jack, >> right? They do a little bit heavier all the way around. They go to a nine ton hoist. They would go to 8,000lb axles. They do have a 316 floor option and then a little bit heavier on the sidewalls also. >> Right. >> So, that'll be the model that you guys have got. >> So, if you want and ours is custom painted. >> Yes. >> And that's something that Southland can do as well. >> Absolutely. >> If you guys want to have your trailer to match your rig, Southland can accomplish that for you. >> Now, I don't know what it would take to personally get that done. Yep. Yeah, we can work through that here. We get truckloads of trailers from Southland all the time and can work those into them. >> So, I do know that if Southland has the paint code >> to your truck, you give them the paint code and you say, "I want my trailer this color, it's coming." And the reason they can do that, >> yeah, that's just all liquid PPG paint >> is…
