Dump Trailer Showcase

trailer is even cooler. This thing's awesome. Yeah. Behind me here is our new dump, the DLX series dump. Um, this has a structural 8 in I-beam underneath, but then the dump bed on top is more of a unibody design. Um, so less crossmembers than you would find in our traditional trailers. And it also has thinner gauge walls and floors. Now, I say thinner and you get worried. Most of the industry is going to a seven gauge, a thicker floor. And we've actually reached out to a company that makes higher grade steels. Again, something like you'd find in our engineered frame on the gooseseneck. This floor here is made of 180 ksi material. So, it takes dents and rocks and whatever else. And sorry, I shouldn't say it takes dents. It It prevents dents. So the material again just absorbs the impact, distributes it out, and makes it a more dentresistant floor. The material is actually called hardox. You can look it up. It's really cool what they're doing with this material. Cool. Now, I could use this to haul gravel, dirt, whatever, anything, machinery, everything that I need. Uh there are a lot of laws dictating that you got to have your load covered up. I like how it has the built-in uh ramp. Show us the uh the ram here. This is something different. So, I I see a lot of dump trailers out there and they have a scissor system underneath. Uh this has the gigantic cylinder. Correct. Look at that. Looks like it's off of a a track loader. So, when we were designing our front telescopic dump, a lot of the industry uses a three-stage cylinder. And what that means is the cylinder is going to have to stick out the top of the trailer. And we said, what what can we do to improve the look and even the function of the trailer? What we ended up with is a fivestage hydraulic cylinder. Uh we call it the lowprofile cylinder. What that means is it doesn't stick up above the front of the dump. So, you know, when you're loading this thing with your skid loader and you're swinging around, you don't accidentally hit the cylinder. Oh, wow. On the trailer. You think that's it? We have a whole another cylinder here. Oh, another one. Oh, yeah. Wow. Holy cow. Look at this thing. This Wow. That's awesome, man. That is awesome. Uh, so tell me about that cylinder again. That is a five stage cylinder. This is a fivestage cylinder manufactured by Stillwell. We reached out to them about a year ago and said, "Hey, what can we do? What are our options?" We were actually exploring a four stage, but it's…
