VIP tour of a Trailer show CLOSED to the PUBLIC

What happens here

Jason demonstrates Fastway Trailer Products' 'Flash' ball mount. He first highlights a model with an integrated scale for measuring tongue weight, providing accurate measurements when lowering the trailer onto the ball. He then showcases their 'ALBM' (Adjustable Locking Ball Mount), which features integrated hitch pin locks. This design prevents the ball mount from being stolen. Jason also introduces the 'Silent Tow' or 'STBM' model, which uses a solid steel pin and a tightening mechanism to eliminate play and rattling between the shank and the receiver, providing a quiet towing experience. The presenter jokingly expresses his disinterest in the 'rattling' feature, but Jason explains it addresses a common annoyance for many customers.

Goal: Showcase Fastway Flash ball mounts with advanced features

and that's new in the lock industry thanks ron appreciate it thank you okay so this actually has an integrated scale for the tongue weight built in integrated scale yeah right on this one on this one correct yep so you look at that as you put the you know lower the the trailer down on there it's going to give you an accurate measure of how much tongue weight is on the back of your back but you also have another pretty cool feature which is the one that made me turn the camera on in the first place that's right that's right um people are sick of walking uh walking into the grocery store coming out and having their ball mount uh gone stolen from them so on this one this is called our albm or adjustable locking ball mount but we've uh we've integrated hitch pin locks into that so you can see what's going on there um but as well uh on the ball holder your adjustment uh the ball holder itself is locked down so you can unlock it raise it to whatever height you need flip it around to the two inch ball if you need that lock it back up and and it's going to be there when you get out of the grocery store but but another cool feature is um you know one of the major concerns or problems with ball mounts is that right there's naturally going to be some some play in those and you're going to hear some rattle and noise and planking and it drives a lot of people not uh this one is our silent toe or our stbm model which if you grab the bottom of that there's no movement at all nobody gave me the demand the way that we've done that is uh integrated a solid steel pin in here so this is one of your problem areas still we're still filming go ahead oh okay sorry so one of the problem areas is is with the the shank and the receiver too there's going to be some a wiggle room there just naturally to get the the ball mount in your truck um so when we crank this down you can see what's happening here is it raises that pin up to remove all the slack out of the truck's receiver you're lucky i had my snickers this morning [Laughter] all right sorry about that you're all right that sticks out like a sore thumb anyway um the reason i said who cares about that is because i mean to me that's like a diva thing i mean i got guys and i don't mean no offense to you jason by any means no but there's guys that are like it rattled and i'm like you didn't grow up on a farm what what's the name of your company fast way trailer products fast fast way to trade and where would they try their products…
