What's the load angle of the fmax max ramps vs hyd tail? I remember hyd tail is 12 degrees but I've never heard what the max ramps are.
The blue 208 is mine. That is awesome. Waiting for it to ship.
That blue 208 is yours?
@@All-Miles-Matter I do believe so. Exactly the set up I ordered.
Very informative. Thanks for the details.
@@gregphillips1334 good looking trailer.
Hoofprint Hotshots delivers Edison Ne
Fantastic... We don't need a gooseneck trailer, but if we ever do it will definitely be a Diamond C gooseneck.
Fyi, Just a thought 🤔 in the front behind the gooseneck toward the trailer where you would weld or bolt on the additional 8-ft step on top where somebody can put a pallet. Below that in front rather than behind using a chain rack as I would have in one of my kw900 84-in studio. I had diamond back chain s and also strap compartment that could be locked. It being the trailer and most likely of course gooseneck hot shot. In front underneath like a step Deck you could add a similar chain and strap set up already for a lock. Normally you get a simple key one but you have the addition of putting your own high money lock on it and tow with the standard key lock on the latch. That would be a good option. Just a thought. I would definitely wait to order the right trailer with the most optional value of hauling of the most options. Meaning hauling cars or super wides? I had one rig that dedicated to hauling fast boats. These were super cats. Some with a cockpit like a jet. Some were just for fun. That's big money. Start out at 12 ft wide and if you can save the tread and those boats are light. Those race boats of course are light, but they have helicopter turbine engines in them. So they're really light. Just wide so it's over wide. 14 ft. Wide they get a little heavy but that's about the max for those race boats. I almost bit off more and I can chew hauling a sailboat. Thank God I didn't do that. I would definitely have the hydraulic jacks so if I have driver coming my direction I can grab his load and take it back towards the shop where I need to be the most. Then he can take that. Keep on going. If I get a trailer it better be on that truck 99.9% at a time. That's how you make that money. Those Wheels ain't turning, You're losing money. I definitely love the square load leveler. Because he's a truck, the standard for a ball hitch is 19 in. But it could vary on a gooseneck. I tried to keep them all the same. I did have each tractor with a gooseneck ball attached to the rear of the frame. Every truck was custom and brand new for the drivers. Having 5 of them and 1 custom. It paid for itself A thousand times. Just awesome!👊😎
I am a TH-camr that works for farmer. But I love the 40k. I really love the hydraulics on these trailers. Used on for the first time just the other day and I am sold. We will have to talk. I was a huge Texas Bragg fan. I think you have me now.
Great video showcasing some of your Goose-neck models. One suggestion for improvement is to offer a slide-out battery tray in the box to make battery installing/removal easier. It's a tight fit for batteries already, and it would make life easier if the batteries could be mounted on sliding trays.
Best trailers on the market. Your paint is second to none. I’ve been using my dump trailer a lot for aggregate and broken concrete and I still can’t see bare metal.
Does Diamond C use actual paint, or is it powdercoat? These look top notch!
Matt Hochgesang it’s a special powder coating process. They bake it on after the trailer is welded and metal is cleaned. It holds up a lot better than most powder coat I’ve delt with.
@@zackzander425 Thanks for info. I've got a 2014 Load Trail with 100's of loads thru, and the powder coat on it is starting to flake in places. If it ever gets replaced, I'm definately looking at Diamond C!
Ordering my second Diamond C trailer within last 8 months. I love this brand... awesome trailers.
Great video with a lot of awesome trailers! I have a 1993 40' diamond C dual tandem flat bed. I dove tailed the final 5' and am building some mega ramps to go on it. Got a set of the flip latches from y'all and a set of Diamond C decals, am about to repaint it with urethrane med. Gray. Even back in 93' they built an awesome trailer! Still going strong! Hooked to my 09' F550 it will be great for volunteer diseaster relief work.
Already I know your trailers are superior ,, nice
Question about the jacks: Can any of them be fitted to work with a 1/2 inch impact wrench?
Awesome and informative video!! That lime green is just something else out in the sun light!! I've always like the versatile of a gooseneck, but you guys take that to the next level with custom beams and crazy options to really give the customer a fully custom trailer like no there!! I've always like to see big trucks with big trailers behind them, they just complete the package!! I may sound like a fat kid at the candy store, but looking at this video with all these wild trailers,sure has me drooling like one as well!! I love that ya'll are from Texas, and stand up to the motto "Everything is bigger and better in Texas". I just got my big truck and before ya'll know it, I will be a customer for a big trailer to haul behind me! Keep up the great work!!!
Awesome video Jacob!
Excellent overview of Diamond C, showing the different types, sizes, capacities as well as some of the available options!
Need to paint some, old school Ford Blue 🤘
Love the lime green!
Thanks for the straight talk on the solar trickle chargers. I have 2 DC dump trailers without solar chargers. We run them 5 days a week and they charge off my truck. We can dump 5-9 loads of dirt in a single day no problem and I have never plugged them into a 110 outlet. If you don't use your trailer daily and live in a cold climate I see there value but up here in Northern California I feel its an unnecessary option.
I built a gooseneck myself 25ft with 101 width cost me 15k in metal /wood/ axles /tires/ wiring lights/hydraulic jacks an complete full folding ramps
an paint. Just build your own if you can weld and can build it to you what you want. Also check ever weld on a trailer you buy can knock the price down do to bad welds.
I do not care how little the other trailers cost. I will always choose my Diamond C over 2 of any other trailer.
Great video! I wish was had a dedicated dealership closer to home (zip 39601)
Great info. Thank you. 40k is on my wish list
I'd like to see an all steel deck. More like 3/16 base metal plate with a 3/16" expanded metal welded on it for traction for the wheeled/tracked loaders. This would prevent expensive sun damage from making the owner replace floor boards every 5-10 years.
Hey there’s something I wanna add again this is another comment I forgot to add to my other comment about 30 seconds ago Cottonwood is very very tough wood and it doesn’t seem to need any stain work and it last for decades I bought a trailer out in Seattle Washington with cottonwood boards on it and they last for a long long time anyhow this is six in a row jim From Kennerdell Pennsylvania by the way the cotton was pretty darn tough to
One more awesome video i really get so much out of your videos as i commented on your dump trailer video i really didn't know there was so many variations on the market
As always God bless you and stay safe 🙋♂️ 🇬🇧
I have a question for you please, The 4-in strap hangers on the passenger side which has the hole in them for locking down the straps. Lockdown straps are supposed to be on the driver side of the rig and or trailer. This is so the operator can keep an eye on the straps on the driver side. Locking down those straps. The L bracket or v bracket would be on the passenger side rail and go over the load. Then it would be a 4-in drop down on the driver side. This would be standard practice throughout the industry. I just can't figure out why the lockdown is on the passenger side of the trailer. Can you help me with that? Or maybe the owner ordered it like that. DOT would definitely pull you over If they observe your lockdown on the passenger side. Speaking from experience as a small family previous owner, Long haul. Super wide, super long, and super heavy. That ring a bell with me right off the top. Truly love your trailers, especially for hot shots. I sure would appreciate it response to that. Thank you and God bless 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Dude I can’t wait until I can call you and order a diamond c trailer I’m running big Tex rite now and I’m over it haha
Is Diamond C the top of the line trailers in the game ?
Well I am having a problem with my 3 month old Diamond C trailer. The 7k torsion axles used on this trailer are over rated. I had 9200# GVW and the axles went tits up after a 200 mile trip. Diamond C are trying to weasel out of the warranty, claiming these axles when loaded correctly can not fail by hauling a load such as mine. Keith Barnes is claiming it must be user error. Well we will just see who has the final word here.
Those super single gone slide on you
I love my Diamond C FMAX212 with the Hydraulic Dovetail. I can't find enough good to say about the product. However the lapse in production and the price is ridiculous. I could sell multiple units today (I am not a dealer) if i could find them for my buddies. All they have to do is pull it once and they want one, until they see the price tag. $28,400.00 to replace a trailer i gave $17,500.00 for last year is just a little bit obnoxious. Anyways, best trailer on the road bar none!
Hi Britton! Thanks so much for the reply and kind words!
I would encourage to double check on the numbers and make sure the trailer being priced is apples to apples to yours. The increase you spoke of is about 62%. At this point price increases on FMAXs have been well under half of that since you bought yours.
As far as production goes - there’s really been no lapse to speak of besides a handful of supply chain issues here and there. We have been producing more FMAX units than ever before but demand has continued to outpace us. A good yet bad thing all rolled into one. 😁
Lead times do vary by the dealer though. If you would like, shoot an email to feedback@diamondc.com and we can reach out and assist in locating a dealer(s) that could be helpful.
Thanks again!
I built a 40ft hydraulic dove loadtrail with 12k disc hutch suspension hydraulic legs wireless remote and winch and light bar for less than $20k my 28ft builds were $17.5 the bad side is after 7 years there quality is poor. My old ones were a better quality so time to change manufacturer. What is price for comparable spec and or where is the closest dealer to Colorado?
@@STEVEN-hv7ds Google
Cool 😎, good job.
I own a fleet neck 36ft car hauler and love it....I do hotshot car hauling with it was curious about the axle seals if you have any recommendations on how to keep the grease in the bearing not on the breaks ?
So I am buying a f350 to do some hotshot around ohio now that im sort retired from trucking. Which trailer would u recommend? I like the ramps on back that cover up the entire dove so can haul a car or 2. Im guessing loads will be 15k or less.
Whats. With. The gooseneck trailer the has. The tubing all the way around it next. To the. Blue. Gooseneck trailer
Great Video. Ordered a 216 50ft Step Deck with Hydraulic Tail & Jacks, Alumi Rims, 17.5 Winch, Semi King Pin. Do a Video section on Step Decks like you did this one.
How much did that trailer cost ?
I just bought a 14ft diamond C dump trailer !!!
Thanks so much for choosing DC!
Great idea! We will add that to our list of upcoming videos. 👍
wow super nice trailers
What are the benefits of welding vs bolt-on for the deck on the heck. My concern is after a while the bolt-on option will eventually start to rattle with time and abuse over the years.
I just bought a deck over equipment trailer diamond c I can’t get the brakes to slide the tires in gravel am I missing something
Hi there Zach! Thank you for reaching out and thank you for choosing DC!
It is likely that your brakes aren’t burnished in yet. Here are a couple of links on how to complete that process. One is a doc while the other is a video.

th-cam.com/video/d9HDloz9fq8/w-d-xo.html
If after performing this sequence you still aren’t seeing any braking improvement please contact your dealer for further help. 👍
Where are you guys located in Texas?
I am currently here and would love to come and talk to you about getting a trailer. Hopefully you can get back to me ASAP!
Do you have any build spots available so I can order a trailer? Also any suggestions to what will work best for me I work on a ranch and maybe haul many different things on various terrains
If you want a Diamond C and your thinking about Hotshot and you got a couple years to wait on trailer build then Diamond C is your trailer
Hi there William! Thank you for the compliment. Luckily none of our lines are booked anywhere near 1 year out. 👍😁
I love the orange 1.how long can it be order at.
For one exactly like this one
Just curious if the trailers that have hydraulics dove tails &/ or jacks do the trailers run stainless steel tubing with flex hoses, pipe w/ flex hoses, or strictly flex hoses?
Man I wish we could tow trailers this size behind our cars here in Aus aha
I’ll be calling again...maybe the 3rd time is the charm to try to spec and order a 40k rated trailer...I’ll even trade in my PJ and buy 2👍
You can’t call the manufacturer, you have to call a dealer who sells Diamond C. If you need to find a dealer, you can go on Diamond Cs website and locate dealers.
@@jameslowry17says who...I already spoke to a Wes at DiamondC but I had a question about the hitch setup for a 40k setup since I have not been able to locate one...Wes was suppose to get back to me after he spoke to a Jacob...I’m assuming it’s the guy in the video...I called back to see what Wes found out with no success.
About a month ago I did the online spec and I did it for 2 different dealerships with no response🤨
How do you keep thieves from targeting such a high end trailer? Maybe a LoJack should come as standard equipment...
Hey guys. I have a 2023 ram 2500. What is a good option to transport my 6k lb Jeep for long distance trips.? Thanks in advance
Where can you get those orange and red square reflector stickers? I've been looking for them all over but I only see them on trailers and RVs, not retail...
You should be able to find those stickers at tractor supply if there’s one near you
My next trailer will be a diamond c! I'm wondering about a 20 k gooseneck dump and adding a deck on the neck. In dark green .
Diamond C, really enjoyed the video and very informative as well. I really do think your videos help because you can see the trailer from different angles rather than just from a one angled photo. I wish I had one of your trailers when I was hotshotting a few years ago. I can defiantly see that you guys put a lot of time and effort in building the best product possible.
One question, I see that you build just about any trailer available. Does Diamond C build any enclosed trailers? If not how come? I have noticed that certain brand trailers build only enclosed trailers and others build everything else and some brands do both. Just curious. Thanks for the video and can't wait for the next one.
Hi Dusty! Thank you for the compliment. 😁
Great question. The manufacturing process of open steel trailers vs enclosed is quite a lot different. They do share a handful of the same materials and components but the majority are different as well making it almost a must that we would have to have an entire separate factory to be in the enclosed trailer business.
So, over the years we have chose to laser focus in on the open steel trailer market and not get to broad, in effort to maintain a high level of quality and attention to detail.
@@diamondctrailers I understand, I figured it would be something like that. Thanks for the information and replying back. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
If I was dimond C I'd be contacting hot shot youtubers such as Tow Piglet. Last I knew he was looking for new trailers in the 40ft. Also I know you're busy buttt if Sam's trailer from V-Belt and Son could get an update I hope you can deliver his trailer before his new ram 5500 is delivered.
What would be recommended for a beginner gooseneck puller?
Current load is about 6-7k. Looking into purchasing 8k track loader and mower.
And ability to haul vehicles if needed.
10-14k is a good starting point
How many styles of dackover trailer do you make For pull behind trailers?
Great question!
There are 3 - Model DEC (Deck-over with ramps) Model DET (Deck-over tilt) & Model DOD (Deck-over Dump). One of our next videos like this one coming out is on pull behind deck-over equipment trailers. 😁👍👊
Hi. I have a 42ft Rollback tow truck. I am planning on getting a Gooseneck trailer to haul extra cars. I want to buy 35ft heavy duty gooseneck trailer to haul bigger trucks. What would you recommend?
Need to advertise trailer weight, the GVWR is kinda useless without knowing what it weighs.
Love these trailers but I have to say, the front steps are a huge swing and miss. That’s the only thing diamond c falls short on for me but it’s a big deal. Copy gatormade front steps and you’ll earn a new customer here. Well done on everything else!
Due u guys offer a finance on these trailers, i jus got my brand new dump trailer stolen after paying cash for it☹️
Yuck! That’s no good. Our dealers do have two finance options available. One is with Sheffield Financial and the other is with Synchrony Financial.
@@diamondctrailers kool🙂i jus paid 15k for my dump trailer jus to get it stolen from me, and shit down my starting business, ill check out the location here in las vegas to see wat diamond c dump trailer i can get into asap know
Is there a Diamond C dealers in Florida close to Port St Lucie, looking for a hotshot trailer to buy really soon.
Can you do a video on the gooseneck low deck car trailers please?
What do u like best hydraulic or air breaks and which we’ll keep u from dot regulation
Great question! We only offer hydraulic and electric so we say hydraulic! 😁
What’s the weight rating for the deck on the neck?
5,000lbs 👍
Can you do a video on your fleetneck triple singles and fleet neck triple duals
My neighbor has one with air ride and lift axle
I’m looking to haul one 3/4 ton or 1 ton trucks to bring home as project I want a gooseneck for stability but wanted to keep the weight low do you make drive over fender style trailers in gooseneck or would a deck over work better?
Great question! Either one would be a great choice. Check out the LPX in the equipment trailer section on our website. www.diamondc.com/trailers/equipment/lpx/ You can build it with a gooseneck package as well as frame extensions and drive over fenders (which gives you the 102” wide).
Or check out the FMAX deck overs at www.diamondc.com/trailers/gooseneck/.
Why no master switch for battery?
do yall make car hauler trailers?
Yes we do! Check out: www.diamondc.com/trailers/car-hauler/

How well does the deck on the neck work with a short bed truck
I have a diamond c req ranger bumper pull 7 ton I bought used and love it but need a gooseneck so I'm shopping and leaning towards diamond c cause I love my bumper pull
Great question! The front corners of the deck are angled so there shouldn’t be any clearance issues with the deck on the neck. 👍
What is the weight capacity
@@loganwilson5748 5,000lbs. More than you’d probably ever want to realistically put up there 😁
best non cdl hot shot trailer?
Gatormade...8k axle...17.5 tires. Bulletproof
FMax 208 in any length you want. Dual 8K Torsion axles w/ 17.5 wheels
@@All-Miles-Matter and heavy as hell, especially with Max ramps. Weight is the enemy in the non-cdl hotshot world.
Want one but cant wait 16 weeks for one... :(
What would you recommend for non cdl hotshot?
No such thing legally.
Thanks for the video! Headed down to outside of Atlanta this Saturday to a dealer to hopefully place my order of a fmax 207. Buddy is picking up his little utility trailer made by you all from the dealer down there. I can’t decide between the xdr Ramps or the max Ramp. Do the xdr have a flat stock mount as well where they can also be stood straight up during transport as opposed to tight to the deck? Having both choices to secure the ramps would be nice. I will be hauling a mid size cab tractor with front end loader and a single tail wheel brush hog on the back. Or would you recommend looking at the max ramp option ? Thank you for the videos once again !
For you - Max Ramp all the way! 😁 But yes XDR as well as Max Ramp both can but pinned in the vertical position as you asked or locked down to the dovetail.
@@diamondctrailers thank you !
I've seen a number of videos of bent ramps on the pull out ramps and most of them are tractors. Max ramps for sure.
woundet if them air ride trailers will have problems with a climate -20 and colder
Still offering trailers ?
There is no way you are going to answer my question haha
👀
I want to buy 40 feet flat bed trailer non-CDL read it 12,000 pounds torsion can you please give me information about this type of trailer and how much will cost me?
Cool
When will the 2.0 be released ???
Late 2021 is the target 🎯
The two trailers on the left @ 1:57 both have the reflective tape backwards! The way that it now directs someone into or in front of the power unit rather than behind it. White should lead Red (Red to the Rear) like the trailer on the right. What a massive unsafe mistake
Hello there Dezmar! Thanks dove stopping by.
We get the question from time to time about reflective tape.
We adhere to and follow NHTSA and DOT standards. Within those two organizations - reflective tape is non directional.
were your busines is located
I wish the “rv” industry would use your frames.
Has lead times gone down or UP for 40k air ride SDX?
Hi there! Lead time varies by the dealer. Some dealers can get you a custom order in as little as 6-8 weeks and some are further out depending on their ordering pattern and size. Hope this helps!
One thing I would offer is an option and have it already incorporated into your trade or should somebody Opto have it installed would be one of those GPS trackers for theft and just put it on nonchalant don’t have any placard‘s or sticker saying he does things protective a GPS that’s how I would do it I just thought of that just now anyhow this is six in a row jimFrom Kennerdell a Pennsylvania
What is a fleetneck, is that just another word for gooseneck?
How much is the cost?
Nice trailers, but the new prices are over the top. Placed most people out of the market.

I’m looking to order an fmax 212 later this fall 40’. What would be an estimated trailer weight difference between the 212 and the 216 with the same options.
Thanks, Eric
There is about 800-900lbs difference between the standard 212 and 216. The weight difference is in the standard wheels/tires, heavier duty axles and suspension as well as slightly bigger frame on the 216. Hope this helps!
How much does a 40 foot cost with air
Hi there! Pricing varies by the dealer and location. You can jump on www.diamondc.com/trailers/gooseneck/ and build one to suit your needs then send to 1-3 dealers of your choice for quote. Or you can go to www.diamondc.com/inventory to see I stock dealer inventory. Thanks!
