The Strangest Trailers you won't believe exist!

What happens here

Jacob from Diamond C Trailers introduces their innovative new aluminum floor system for trailers. This system aims to save weight while increasing durability. The floor is made of robust aluminum, which is significantly lighter than traditional wood flooring (saving almost 400 pounds on a similar trailer). Unlike welded aluminum floors that can weaken the material, Diamond C's system features physically bolted sections. This allows for easy replacement of individual damaged sections from the top, rather than needing extensive repairs or full floor replacement. The floor is supported by cross-members every 16 inches, ensuring rigidity and strength, and it comes in both raw and powder-coated versions.

Goal: Learn about Diamond C's lightweight and durable aluminum floor system.

right guys I'm with Jacob the world famous Jacob from Diamond SC and you guys are always kind of ahead of the path every time I've ever known you seen you always been the leader and I'm looking and now you have a new aluminum floor system you've got it on this trailer here and this is aluminum although it doesn't look like aluminum right so but we're saving weight yep saving weight and obviously it's going to last forever it's a lifetime floor just as short of you punching a hole through it I mean it's it's going to be a lifetime floor and it's uh as strong or stronger than for sure W yeah through all of our testing real rigorous testing with forklifts and skit steers and track machines all of that kind of stuff and the aluminum has held up really really well like it's it's been awesome so as I look at it I know a couple things about aluminum that I've learned from coming to the trailer show for now 4 years um this is not welded cuz welding weakens it you actually have this physically bolted to the framework it is it's screwed to the framework it's on 4ft centers so the aluminum is pretty rigid you've got cross members on 16 every 16 in centers under the trailer so it's really rigid it's going to hold up so this is a powder coated version of it you saw it on the gooseneck it's a raw version so the raw is actually what we'll go to market with the powder coat was more for fun for the show so yeah but uh for this application is really cool for your hot shots and those guys because it's another almost 400 lb Lotter on this trailer than normal Pond and worst case scenario if you damage a section pop it out you can just pop it straight out right from the top and then you're not going to you're going to you got the corrosion resistance of aluminum
