Hillsboro industries.com awesome all right there you go thank you Randy appreciate it thank you all right let's keep going all right guys I'm at flow trailers and I'm with my friend Don how are you Don good good how you doing Stan good so I've gone out to flow trailers and we ran over one of these with a 22,000 lb lull but one of the things you guys may not be as familiar with is the three ways that you can load and unload this trailer can you show us that Don absolutely so the first way stand is like a lot of trailers at the back ramp you can just lower it down so if you have an ATV or something with plenty of clearance you just drive it up right it's that easy just drive it up the second way we have a tilt clamp mechanism here if I loosen that up and slide this forward and I leave that limiter now it's going to tilt halfway back okay okay halfway back means with the ramp down I have no high spot I can load super low clearance things golf carts maybe uh lawnmowers things that don't have much clearance no other trailer does that okay if you want to dump stuff oh let's see your hauling mulch or aggregate tilt it all the way back by sliding that forward when you do that the ramp can be in the way because you're trying to get your mulch out right so we made the ramp come right off tilt back bring your mulch out get your project done and is anybody else making a trailer bed like this the bed style the Caro Max as far as I know the thermal formed polyethylene bed is the only one in the industry it is virtually the most indestructible trailer bed I've ever seen ever anywhere a guy had a tree drop on it we drove over it it is and it's proprietary technology in fact that you have the largest thermop platforming machine in the world I believe yeah right in Minnesota yeah we can mold that bed in about 8 minutes on our machine and they last forever we've been doing them for 18 years now I know somebody that has one of the first ones that thing's perfect is there a website down yeah flow.com F ll.com you can just Google F and we come right up we come right up and they make really good docks too true all right thanks Don appreciate it thank you right Wade what's the deal with this so we are showing off our new dump trailer we are using a a different a new kind of Steel um showing off the uh strength capabilities of our flooring on our on our dump Trail trailer so we built this to show off that we can drop this 10 lb weight with a point on it onto our new material we have these ones that we tested before this is a standard 10 gauge plate got very deformed that's after 10 hits that's after 10 hits this is a Seng gauge plate after 10 hits okay and this is our hardox material 11 gauge thinner than the rest of them can't even pick it up can't pick it up not deformed at all that's 10 hits that is 10 hits I'll do another one okay slide it in here pull this trigger go for it no deformation all right and this is what you're putting into the beds of your trailers we are so we are using this material on the floor of this trailer that will help with all the impact resistance um we o have a different material called strengths for the side it's 150 KSI um single piece sheet metal side with a cap on top for strength so you got a cap uh the the top reel yeah built-in steak pockets okay now this has a is this got a curved engineered beam it does not it has it has a curved ibeam but it's not it is a standard ibeam curve here at the Okay so we've got a curved I beam but here on the equipment trailer you've got a curved engineered beam yes we have a curved I beam in the front that moves into an engineer come over top of our axles here in the rear giving us a lower deck height with a full width fil all right now is this a new innovation that's currently out is this something that people got to wait for what is the deal with that both of these trailers are currently the first prototype that were built for these um we are shooting for beginning of 2025 release for the full line of these trailers awesome all right thank you thank you Wade else did you want to show me Wade so we have a new design here on the back um on this dump

making them since 1971 14 gauge okay 14 gauge real heavy duty you're not going to be able to cut through this with a pair of tin snips and get the stuff inside all right real structurally sound hard harder to get into you know safer uh we've got most of our trade show gear loaded in it but it gives you an example of what it looks like inside you can do double doors in the back drop ramp spring loaded stabilizer jack custom colors custom colors are available this is not normal clearly usually they're white okay uh but you can do any custom color that's out there there yellows you know pretty

time you can lock it up like I said earlier hard to get inside you know with a pair of 10 stems on this one where are you guys located Newport Arkansas okay and you make more than just cargo trailers fortune or for years and years 1971 since my dad started it we've been making caros horse trailers livestock trailers heavy duty livestock trailers and then we also make goose neck flat beds tilts dumps hydraulic duve tails what are you best known for probably horse and livestock okay yeah that's kind of been our Forte for a long time all right where would guys find out more information if they want to know more yeah go to www.d delat tr.com www.d deltat trilers delt trailers.com all right thanks Le you been nice see you appreciate it thank you have a good show all right guys for you guys that are into specialty trailers it can't get more specialized than this cuz this is the only one like it in the world that's right okay so this is a drop deck refrigerated trailer built to commercial level standard correct correct yes walk me through it all right so what you're looking at is a Polar King mobile refrigerated trailer 16 ft in length 0° fah capable this is an NSF listed box what that means is that you are getting a National Sanitation Foundation credential this trailer is suitable for a myriad of different applications food consumables beverages look at look at the handles and latches look at the thickness of the door this isn't like standard cargo trailer except for the shape of it at that point this is a 54 in wide pallet size door and you can see that immediately this is not a trailer door this is an outdoor walk-in cooler freezer on Wheels now when we walk in you've also got the racking system so that you can set this up the way a company wants it to right correct and you can hang from the ceiling meat animals um this is an antimicrobial gel coating on the walls 4 in of insulation on the floor the ceiling and both walls 0 to 50° the side door entrance as well so we can exit this way and you have this is your largest unit but you've also got a smaller unit right here that's right so this is 16 ft this is eight and we are powered by a generator on this correct okay so both of these units are GOI Arctic 2000 us they are 110 volts 15 amps we've brought a generator simply to illustrate that if you don't have access to a source of electricity an outlet you can use a generator because this trailer is small that is 8 ft versus 16 you can reach an operating temp temperature consistently of -10° f that's approximately -22° C where do guys find out more information on these Polar King mobile.com and the dirt monkeys bringing you the most specialized trailers that I can possibly find thank you very much thank you sir all right we appreciate it this trailer right here come in here Andress come on this is your invention is this your baby your brainchild one off yes so it assists with the driving and once you get it into location it will completely do the rest of the driving so as you're going down the road this will assist to improve your fuel economy is that correct is that the reason why you do it tell me a little bit about it so we have our own developed IMU and autopilot system inside and we are sensing all the Motions by the car so we feel when the driver want acceleration and then we are supporting with extra power the the car if you want decelerating we are recharging the battery by the motor so the brake are still cool that means if you have a petrol engine car your fuel consumption will be rising like 5 to 10% not more if you have electric car your endurance will keep almost the same as without uh the car the trail so you're telling me that an electric car then can tow your trailer and not have a significant decrease in range because of the technology that you put into this trailer as you're driving forward the trailer will sense it when you're stopping the trailer will sense that and recharge as well and this is absolutely a big benefit in the city operation because in the city when you want uh driving you are not losing the the driving Dynamics on the car you are almost not feeling you have a heavy trailer behind you and also in the city operation you have a lot of uh stops and that time we are taking back the energy from the vehicle to the battery and when you get to your destination you can unplug this and then the trailer itself will move all on its own yeah at that point so it's not really driving itself but when you get there it will do the final maneuvering if you just can't squeeze your vehicle we we have an application for the trailer so when you're disconnecting from the uh from your car then the system is allowed and we have a robotic gearbox it's a two-speed gearbox and the system electrically switching the different gear so that then your trailer each wheel you have 1,300 newm torque so you can climbing in a really high ramp up or down we have our own electric brake in the system so we are fully autonomous and independent from so look up the autoflex group Y and you can find out more information on this all right guys one last one I'm with Benny from Horizon trailers how are you B got byself Stan good all right so you've got a couple new things yes um the other one is over there but tell me about this real quick okay so this one as you see it has the manufactured ibeam now like the front tongue the part of it with highgrade steel so you're saving on on weight and with this slant in here if you're going to be on the road it's going to be somewhat bumpy you will still get some kind of some kind of a flex and and it's going to be a little bit lighter and not as hard as you on your truck on the tongue we of your truck and you have a triaxle on this 37k 3 7ks Side open door that is stock on everything you've got rolled into interior this these are all stock the recessed LEDs all stock this is not an upgrade by Horizon in any way shape or form they make their trailers one way one way only and that's the best way I've own a horizon trailer it is a phenomenal piece of equipment in my book except yours does not have the bolt on fenders and now we got the bolt on fenders you hear a lot of guys wrecking their fenders well they can just exchange it yourself makes it easier okay all right now you have the lightest flat deck in the industry you say to so this flat deck here it's the uh the newest uh well it's it's just a regular flat deck but you know we have the uh the engineered ibeam with highr steel so this flat deck is a 32 footer it's somewhere about th000 lb L than an ibeam Trail are you saying this is the lightest trailer in the industry or no cuz I maybe I got that wrong I want to make sure I'm not misrepresenting you I cannot tell you who the if if we're the lightest or if uh since this is a prototype but I know that it's going to be one of the lightest FL day okay and up front you don't even mention he doesn't even mention some of the cool stuff that they just put into their technology let's take a look at what we've got for our toolbox right here so Locker style toolbox obviously this one has a pump underneath it but over here you can storage all of your your stuff and chains and stuff like that so it's some extra storage out there yep what else are we looking at with this trailer Benny the neck hydrate steel as well this is a complete one piece from bottom all the way to top and when is this one coming out so this one we will be releasing at beginning of 2025 okay that's some people can start ordering the with the one piece I beam engineered frame and neck okay and this is by Horizon trailers horizont trailers.com Horizon trailers.com that's where you can check us out all right there
