This guy WASN'T done Talking...

What happens here

The focus shifts to the FLOE Cargo Max utility trailer, the main subject of the durability test. Don describes its construction: an all-aluminum frame and a unique molded polyethylene bed. Stanley expresses his initial doubts about the "plastic" bed's ability to withstand heavy impact or cracking, citing concerns about its brittleness. Don highlights the advanced polymers used, emphasizing their incredible strength and the trailer's super lightweight nature. He also demonstrates features like molded side steps and the unique tilt bed capability for low-clearance loading, as well as the removable tailgate/ramp for easy dumping.

Goal: Understand the construction and unique features of the Cargo Max trailer before testing.

trailer category okay we call it a cargo max okay what you have here is an all-aluminum frame and a polyethylene bed that we mold out of a sheet we're gonna get to take a look at how we do that in a little while so this is why i want to torture test this down because when i looked at this at the show i'm like is this going to get brittle is this going to break is somebody going to hit this with like a log or something and then this side is going to crack and bust and you assured me that it wouldn't and i said let's drive over it with a truck then we've done a lot of things to it durability wise none of them include driving them over with the truck so we'll see but that's the first question that a lot of people have you're right on and they see you know they don't know how our polymers have advanced over the years now yeah and they see plastic which we try to avoid that word yeah but this polymer is incredibly strong so when you put it on aluminum frame it's just super lightweight this is one of the bigger models yeah it's easy to move around it's got steps molded onto the side of it okay it's got a really unique feature that we have on all of our tilt bed utility models so it's got this tilt clamp if i loosen this up okay i can slide this forward okay and i'll leave this limiter strap there and that'll let it tilt about about halfway back so what that does if i have a low clearance machine to load let's see it's a golf cart or something that just doesn't have much clearance to it yeah i can tilt this ramp down kind of halfway back look at that you don't have the high spots you know right it's just one even plane going up and down the trailer okay but what if you want to tilt it all the way back down so now we just take that limiter strap and i would slide that forward [Applause] very simply just slide this forward too okay i'm not gonna do it right now just to keep moving here but let's say you wanted to use it for vault okay or mulch should be doing your rocks in your rock bed at home you want to dump out everything then this ramp is in the way yeah you know you know it's hard to scoop stuff out so you can tilt it all the way back we made it so that it'll come right up holy crap it's pretty lightweight maybe 25 pounds or so and then you can just see how it's slotted right there so you can just it just one guy can lift them on and off slide them in out it's not a two-man operation to take that off and it doesn't take very long okay and you clip the bifold…
