Are you out of Dallas Tx
Yes sir
Hooklifts as far as the 👁️ can see! 🥰
Yes sir!! They also do cable pull up fits as well!
Been watching dumpster rolloff videos, going to go all in when I purchase a hooklift truck ( preferably a Pete or international). Due to a few dealerships around my area here in northwest Ohio, u are very detailed and informative, and have a new fan in Ohio and I give u a 👍up and I subscribed, looking forward to more videos and being more info
That is awesome! Much appreciated and best of luck to you brother!!
@@AmericanAFDumpsters thank you I appreciate it, I also watch (same day) videos, between the two of u , you guys are very knowledgeable and best on here..👍👍
Hey Josh, it was nice meeting Mike, seems like a level headed guy doing things right! I liked the fact that he went into his business conservative and has been successful and consistent! All the best to him! Thanks, Brian
Hey Brian, appreciate the watch brother! Mike’s definitely a good guy, hard worker and really starting to see his company grow. I do appreciate his approach by not over leveraging himself and bought all used equipment. It makes organic growth much easier and less forced. It also proves we are all from different walks of life but we can all be successful no matter the type, brand or age of equipment. Head down, hustle harder! 💪🏼
hello where did you buy or the trailer?
I’m a US Distributor. Contact me if you’re looking for one. Josh@americanafdumpsters.com
To me it's just another business play
Well spoken brother!
Much appreciated!!
I agree a 100%. If you don’t love it, live it , like it, you will fail on everything.
Amen to that. Hard to stay committed to something you don’t enjoy or love, more like impossible!
Spot on, I think this is what’s missing in most people lives. Not just in the dumpster industry, but all industries whether you making a fortune or not.
Absolutely. Love what you do, hire for what you don’t enjoy to do!
Is this standard rail size?
Nice shoes!!
They are!
I wanted to see a dump trailer . Not a disco show .
Umm ok.. 👌
lol you know when people not making money in there business lol 12$
Hahaha for real!!! I get it, times are tough, but damn!
Any updates on the cam cocepts hooklift trailers?
All kinds of updates! Check out my last video. th-cam.com/video/P2CmInLNVM4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hlPyHVjKyGld1SAS
Why the lube there? Is that where the can comes into contact and slide? Thanks! Hey, I found some of your podcasts! Good stuff!
The friction of the jib sliding back and forth causes damage to the actual jib if not lubricated properly. It’s just metal on metal, then dirt and dust gets caught in there and damages it unless it’s lubed up
Funny, it said it in the instructions manual 😅 Used red grease at first but changed to a dry lube. With 80% of my work on dirt roads, sticky red turned in to crunchy brown in a day... not good.. A dry lube worked excellent and my jib runs smooth! 🤠👍
People actually read the instruction manuals?!? lol man I’m bad at doing that 🤦🏻♂️😂
You absolutely right,I never used grease on my jib, I only used sleap plate ( liquid graphite)
Was the inside dumpster slightly skinnier? The more i try and picture this the more it screws with my mind if theyre the same size.
Tub style dumpsters, which these are, are built to fit inside one another, that how they are actually shipped too. All inside of each other. They slightly angle the walls so the trash is easier to dump also.
Too many failure points have been added by using this device. First off is the bolt head used to stop the anti-bounce feature air bag. That can snap off or shear the metal it goes through. Then theres the added leverage on the receiver hitch on your truck due to the extended length (like putting a pipe on a pipe wrench to give it more torque). Then there's the added stress points on all the plate holes where the pins pass through. All in all, you're relying on an unknown engineer somewhere who designed this device who may not realize the type terraine you operate on. I'd put that back in the box and get something else. I'd never trust that thing, just on the basic appearance of the design. Its an accident waiting to happen. Somebody is making money on it though, to be sure. You want to limit stress in this area, not increase it. Even flaws in metallurgy could become catestrophic. If towing one should stick with the tried and true. Reinventing the wheel is not necessarily good.
Yea I’m not sure about that. Lots of engineers much smarter than I am made this thing and they have a ton of great reviews. It’s nothing new and has been around for quite sometime. So far, it’s working great for me. Just hailed almost a 10k load and it did it without an issue!
I think many of the generation of TH-cam channels during COVID glorified dumpster, trailer rental, and junk removal. They really pushed the high gross income per day and week. This channel and the current similar ones don't try to glorify the industry. But, it's easy for a viewer to still over simplify the job. A real day or week gets compressed and edited down to 30-45 minutes of the interesting topics.
Absolutely true, especially if someone binge watches and sees a channel like mine go from one piece of equipment to another without seeing all the hard work that goes into it behind the scenes.
im trying to start up a businesses
Awesome brother! Research research research and then attack!!! 💪🏼💪🏼
Sorry I missed the live!! Dumpsters are not glorified, Junk removal is!!!
Definitely true!!
I’ve got one on my Couger GN and love it!
Nice!!!! I should’ve gotten one a long time ago!
🔥
🙏
This trailer is pretty cool. Can’t wait to receive ours soon. Can’t wait to try it out. Did the rear slide bars on the dumpster line up to the trailers lock downs pretty good?
That looks like a beefy hitch!
It really is, and heavy!!! As you could tell by my 👴 old man grunt when I picked it up 😂
Very cool hitch! Very tempted to go hook lift trailer before hook lift truck when the time comes! Only thing I’m worried about is the engine loudness on the trailer..feel like I might upset a few people at early and late picks/drops..
It’s not an obnoxiously loud sound, and the cover really quiets it a good amount.
@@AmericanAFDumpsters thank you for this! Hard to tell how loud it is through the video. Appreciate ya!
I bet that gona be louder than your hooklift truck
What does your trailer weigh without a dumpster?
4200 pounds
Have one for gooseneck and bumper pull. Use them all the time! Work great. Still on first air bag on the bumper hitch after probably a good 3 yrs of hard use. Have spares just in case too
Right on! Good to know!! Didn’t even know you could get a replacement bag!
@@AmericanAFDumpsters yeah pretty sweet you can get replacement bags. Bought a few when they had good sale on St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ earlier this year. Everything else lasts a while.
First Comment! Love the content! Learning a lot from these videos. Very informative thank you.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the watch!!
How do you charge your monthly rates?
Purchased both!! Thanks for sharing!! 🙌
You’re definitely welcome!
Thanks for giving us the tools to succeed. I appreciate you.
In a matter of seconds , it takes three minutes
this is so exciting for me. im working 2 jobs right now so i can buy one and start on my own. any words of advice?
That is beast! Where you get one like that?
I am a distributor for them. Email me at josh@americanafdumpsters.com and I can get you a quote!
@@AmericanAFDumpsters Texas?
@@MrShayster007 they are manufactured in Canada and can be shipped nationwide
that's how 99% of all EU construction dumpsters work, good call to make a towed variant for pickup trucks
Absolutely! I am glad to bring a ton of these to the market in the US!!
Interested
Shoot me an email at josh@americanafdumpsters.com and I can get you a quote depending on what you are looking for!
Very cool trailer!
It's a beast!! 💪🏼
As hot as it’s been. I prefer working at the butt crack of dawn so I can be done by the time it hits 95°
Very very hot, unfortunately these have been some super longgggg days but I am not complaining!! 💪🏼
Wrong sound for this
Ok...
Awesome job bro, awesome job.
Much appreciated brother!!
For what size container are those trailers?
The red one can haul 14-16 foot dumpsters, 15, 20 and 20 cubic yards.
Hey American Dumpsters how can I contact you?
josh@americanafdumpsters.com
Super swaggy set up💯💯‼️‼️
Heck yea bro let's go!!!
Sounds cheaper to go get your cans and leave the contents on the property where it belongs until they decide to pay whoever that is going to haul it away.
Very true!
If you had to drop off a big truck dumpster, could you do it in a bind with that trailer?
Rear tabs wouldn’t lock in place making it pretty unsafe.
@@AmericanAFDumpsters lock in like hold it down for safe transport?
I know this was a while back but we’re you doing that part time ? About how many hours a week were you working like hooking up and hauling vs hours a week handing out cards and trying to hustle more business ? Do you track how many estimates you close percentage wise ?
Just seeing this video. Experiencing the same. Had a single day record and record month for July. Currently +36% YOY vs last July(Still one day left in month). This despite going on vacation, rain all last week and some downtime on one truck. This week has been slow though and I am scratching my head. Like someone just turned the faucet off. It always seems to be like that though. WOT then someone pumps the brakes. Grateful for the money I have made this month though. Paid for two new 20 yards cash. Time to get caught up on maintenance and rest up for the next wave. Both my trailers and all of my cans are paid off. Very low overhead as an owner operator. I am competitively priced, but there are still guys charging less. Most of them are part time though and that is why they can charge so little. While everyone else seems to be going into debt and buying trucks right now, I am playing it safe and sitting on my cash to see how the next 7-10 months play out with the election, economy and this new wave of part timers.
Ebbs and flow of being a business owner is not for the faint of heart. Always make sure there is nothing that is causing it, like a broken link on your website, GMB suspension, etc but once you check to make sure all is good, use your time to do maintenance on the trucks etc and just know the phones will ring again non-stop soon! Appreciate the watch and comment brother.
