What happens here

This project outlines a method to test the exceptional resilience and durability of a polymer trailer bed (specifically a Flow Cargo Max trailer bed) by subjecting it to significant compressive forces from heavy machinery and manual impact. The demonstration showcases the material's ability to deform under extreme pressure and then recover its original shape, even after severe impact like a fallen tree.

A customer had a tree fall on one of their trailers, but something very interesting happened. So, this is the bed for the Flow Cargo Max trailer. The trailer was totaled and paid by the insurance company, but later when they removed the tree, the bed popped back to life. And this this all came about one day when one of the Flow Cargo Max trailers was totaled out by a tree and one of their customers. So, we decided that we could get the bag of top back and how much was used for actually. Let's just see how this goes. So, basically the story was we had one of your customers had their trailer totaled out by a tree falling on it. Insurance company came out, paid for their trailer, and your trailer popped back to life on its own, didn't it? >> Yeah. Yeah, that's true. >> Basically, this guy just popped right back. I can stand you got no button on that bud. >> So after the insurance adjuster left, they pulled the tree off from the trailer and did nothing. Just let it set in the sun. And eventually the trailer popped back into shape on its own. This is the float cargo max trailer. And that's the Stony Ridge farmer hanging out with me.
