What happens here

Opt for an advanced dumping system that includes a dual battery setup for increased power and longevity compared to a single battery. Look for features like 'power up/power down' hydraulic options, and crucially, a 'gravity down' mode. The gravity down feature allows the bed to lower using only gravity, conserving battery life and preventing you from being stranded on a job site if the battery is depleted. Consider a raised deck height, even on a 'Low-Pro' model, as it facilitates more efficient dumping by allowing the entire load to clear the trailer without having to pull forward.

Goal: Maximize power, battery life, and efficiency of the dump mechanism

Tools and materials

  • Dual Battery System Interstate — Powering the hydraulic dump mechanism; provides extended use and reliability
  • Gravity Down Function N/A — Allowing the bed to lower using gravity, conserving battery power
  • Power Up/Down Hydraulic System N/A — Mechanically raising and lowering the trailer bed
  • Wireless Remote Control N/A — Operating the dump functions remotely

system so when we're out in the field when we're dumping it's got two batteries to the one yeah shoot a little bit so you out with 6,000 pound act instead 7,000 okay I want to make sure we get this clear you went with 7,000 pound axles over 6,000 axles you know you can haul more but it's also a much heavier duty application it is just a heavier duty system right and they're also the bigger we want straight axles instead I don't know what they're called like the lower axles but this is the DL trailer which is their low dump which is supposed to have a 24-inch tech night we've raised that a little bit only because basically when you're dumping with the low deck height when you drop your load you have to pull forward and then you know with this with it being higher it should drain the whole load right there so that was one of the features that they are so let's talk about a few of the key points that they mention I don't want to gloss over you want with heavy duty time okay so that's an important thing because if your tires can't handle the load you don't want to be on the side of the road with a blow-up exactly with heavier duty axles as well now you went with a two battery system on it because a lot of times the problems with these dump trailers is the batteries just can't hold out you also have some pretty cool things with this dump so something that's power up power down option but also your gravity down after actually issue you're gonna save on the life of the battery it's going to get more because these things the charge when they're actually hooked up to the truck biochars it's a trickle charge it's just enough to get you by right right you still have to charge you to plug it in every night into and then we have to do do a battery option just to give us like the extra life but also with the gravity down is let's say you are on the job site and you just use last your battery to keep it up and some that don't have gravity down it's not coming down so you give it a charge so at least you're not gonna get stuck on site you know you're gonna be able to grab it gravity it right down I mean that is something to make sure that you look into but I also want to talk about the crossmembers your bracing on the
