I Got my Hands on a Prototype trailer...But is it Worth it?
What happens here
Harry demonstrates the remote-controlled functionality of the trailer. The remote has two functions: raising/lowering the deck and operating the hydraulic tongue jack. This multi-functionality is highlighted as an advantage, as many other drop decks only offer a single function. The internal hydraulic pump and solenoid system, borrowed from Ice Castle Fish Houses, are showcased within a secure toolbox on the trailer's tongue. The system includes a main battery and a backup hard-wired option for control in case the wireless remote fails.
Goal: Demonstrate the remote-controlled drop deck and hydraulic jack, and examine the power unit
