I Wouldn't Buy This Equipment... Here's Why

What happens here

The presenter looks at a PJ dump trailer, specifically discussing its 'Monster Rails' feature. He notes that the side walls of the trailer feature an indentation, similar to Ram pickup trucks, designed to add rigidity to the structure, which is a good feature. However, he criticizes the sloppy welds visible on the trailer, particularly around the hinges, considering them a 'red flag' for quality craftsmanship. Another 'red flag' is the use of 7,000-pound axles despite the trailer having 'Monster Rails,' suggesting an imbalance in perceived robustness versus actual load capacity. The presenter implies that contractors often overload trailers, making stronger axles (e.g., 8,000 or 10,000 pounds) a more appropriate choice for such a heavy-duty design. The trailer also includes a 5-stage telescopic hoist and dedicated tool storage with a large hydraulic reservoir (not plastic) and a remote control for the hydraulic jack.

Goal: Critically assess the PJ dump trailer's construction quality and suitability for heavy contractor use.

Tools and materials

  • 14-ply Tires — Providing durability and load-bearing capacity for the wheels
  • 5-stage Telescopic Hoist — Lifting the dump bed for unloading
  • Hydraulic Jack — Assisting in lifting and lowering the trailer
  • Hydraulic Reservoir — Storing hydraulic fluid for the hoist
  • Long-arm Tarp System — Covering the trailer contents easily by one person
  • Monster Rails — Adding structural rigidity to the sidewalls
  • PJ Dump Trailer — Transporting and dumping heavy materials
  • Remote Control — Operating the hydraulic jack remotely

>> I'm Tana and I'm with Central Trailer Sales. >> Hi Tana. Um this is a PJ Trailer, correct? >> a PJ Dump Trailer, correct? >> Um I noticed you have what's called monster rails on this. So, as we look at this, what are we What are we looking at, and what do we What do we need to know about the monster rails? >> So, what we're looking at is we're looking at kind of the structural integrity of this um dump trailer. So, I mean, you can kind of see the the beefiness of it. It's all a 7-gauge flooring. >> Mhm. >> Um but the way that they kick out these monster rails just gives it so much more structure when you're putting a lot of things in here. >> So, it's not a true box frame. I notice it's an indentation. >> indentation. >> Which is a way to add rigidity so that, you know, if you It reminds me of the uh the RAM pickup trucks. >> Yeah. >> They don't have the indentation on them, so you you push on them, and they tend to dent >> Correct. >> a lot easier, where if we look at a Ford, they have that structural indentation, and that's what they did with with this one. >> Correct. It's a good analogy. >> Mhm. Mhm. Is there anything else that we should know about this? I mean, I'm looking at it. >> awesome because it has a five-stage telescopic hoist. >> Okay. Nice. >> Um you're going to get a lot more power when you're putting that hoist up in the front. So, >> And it looks like a very beefy hoist, as well. >> hoist. >> Do you know what the rating is on that one? >> This one is rated I believe for 20,000 lbs. >> 20,000 lbs. >> Yep. So, you can overload this thing, and uh it just will get it up. >> And is this a powder coated? >> This is a powder coated, correct. >> What's the axles on this unit? >> is a 7K axles, and they are They have the 14-ply tires, which is very nice. >> 14-ply tires. So, and as we go, you've got on the front of your dump trailer, it looks like you've got dedicated tool storage on the top. And And then here's your hydraulic reserve, and an extra-big hydraulic reserve. I notice it's not a plastic tank. >> It's not. Okay. KTI. Um and then we've got the hydraulic jack, so you've got your controller for your dump and for your hydraulic jack. >> Okay. Now, as we walk around here and your first name again was? >> Tana. >> Tana. Um Tana, one of the…
