How Canadians Build Dump trailers different.

What happens here

Shane and the presenter showcase the standard features of the trailer's front area. This includes an aluminum toolbox housing a deep cycle battery, a hydraulic pump, a wired remote control for the dump function, a 110V charger for the battery, and a solar charger mounted on the toolbox lid. They emphasize the 'enclosed wiring' system, where all wiring is protected within the tube frame, adding to its longevity and reliability. The robust 7-ton Champion scissor hoist, designed for heavy-duty lifting, is also highlighted as a standard feature.

Goal: Demonstrate the standard electrical and hydraulic components of the trailer.

Tools and materials

  • Deep Cycle Battery Optima — Powering the hydraulic system
  • Enclosed Wiring — Protecting electrical wiring within the frame
  • Hydraulic Pump — Operating the dump mechanism
  • Solar Charger — Maintaining battery charge using solar energy
  • Southland Trailer — Demonstrating front-end features
  • Wired Remote Control — Operating the dump function remotely

What they say

Hide

sure that the paint is done the way that they want it to be done. Now, some people are like, "Oh, my Southland trailer is paint. I hate the paint and blah blah blah blah blah." Well, for one, it's the same as the what's on the vehicles. It's the same standards that's are on the vehicles, but you're taking a trailer and intentionally dumping rocks and gravel on it. >> Do you take your pickup truck and drop rocks and gravel on your pickup truck over and over and over again all day in day in and day out? >> No way. >> No, you don't. And so, what do you expect when you're putting something like that into a different process? >> Yeah. I I read that on a Facebook forum one time, too. People were complaining about the the paint on their dump trailer floor and and then somebody said, "Well, how do I keep my dump trailer floor from rusting?" They said, "Put a load of sand in it and use it once in a while." >> Or or don't use it at all. >> Yeah. >> It's just what's going to happen, >> right? Um now, as we look at the tubular frame underneath here, walk me through what we're going to see under here, will you Shane? >> Yeah. So, you know, this is kind of part of it, too. With that tube frame, they can enclose all their wiring inside there, too. So, that's giving us some strength, but it's also giving you protection for that wiring. We've already covered that engineered sill design. Um, and then this trailer, too, just comes really well loaded with equipment. Everything you see on here is standard. We're going to see around the other side there's a spare tire and a mount. Up in the front, we've got 110 volt charger for the battery. It comes with a solar charger. >> Let's walk. Let's look inside here. So, as as you're talking, let's play. I want these guys to see what they're getting, if this is the right trailer for them or not. >> For sure. So inside we do have some protection over that pump and battery. Um so just small lid that just comes off the top here. Deep cycle battery and pump inside there. >> And this is all standard equipment. >> This is all standard equipment. Everything you see is standard. There is 110 volt charger over on the other side. So you've got a battery tender maintainer built right into the toolbox. >> Solar charger on the top of the lid there. What do you know about the cylinders that they put on these? >> Yeah, they run a nice 7 ton champion hoist. So,…
