@@MRsolidcolor The one featured here is actually tandem 16K axles. We do offer triple 10K and triple 12K axle models as well. Thank you for the feedback on a new video. It would be good to do a video highlighting both tandem and triple and the differences between them. 👍
Can we get an 8 foot neck? In the majority of states the maximum trailer length is 48 feet. Many hotshot loads require 40 feet of deck space. Also, as the pickup trucks we use are classified as a straight truck, we can not have more that a combined length of 65 feet. The one foot shorter neck will allow us some flexibility in truck manufactures, cab size, bed length, or even aftermarket front bumpers. So ideally a FMAX 212 or 216 with 40 feet of deck and an 8 foot neck checks all the legal boxes. Last thing a hotshot needs is a DOT officer pulling out the tape measurer after we spent $30,000 or even double on a trailer!
Great video things are definitely moving along in the hotshot industry what you are building now is definitely a hotshoter's dream 👍 As always God bless and stay safe out there 🙋♂️ 🇬🇧
Went through the build configurator on the website…. At the end showed me a price of $70k…. I’d be okay with $50k for a trailer, but $70k is alittle excessive. I’ve since moved on and researching to see what else is on the market. I need a good functional trailer, doesn’t need to be a Gucci trailer that Diamond C is becoming known for. I think Diamond trailers are great, but how do you justify this kind of cost for a trailer, knowing trailers without air ride, do just fine and have for years.
Funny that DC acknowledges that hot dip galvanizing is the ultimate coating, yet they don’t offer this as an option on their trailers. I’ve only been able to find a few manufacturers willing to offer such a service (Buffalo and midsota) and will be going with one of these brands until DC can figure out it’s what customers want.
DC I have three questions: 1 are the empty weights of your 40K straight deck spread axle options? 2 do you have a step deck that has a 50K upgrade option? 3 your trailers have the 7 pin link from trailer to truck. Is there a glad hand option?
Hello! 1. Estimated Base weight would be 11,300-11,500. 2. We don’t have a clickable 50K option on the website but can build on custom request. 3. We don’t have a glad hand option or availability. Thanks!
2 additional question: 1) what is the estimated build time of a SDX216 straight deck with most options? 2) can a dealer fulfill all order request when I’m ready?
@@kayoticbushido Great questions! 1. Build time varies by the dealer you’re working with depending on their size, ordering patterns and availability. 2. Yes a dealer can process your build. That’s the preferred method. You can build one out right on our website and submit to 1-3 dealers nearest the zip code of your choice. Then they can quote and process it right there. 👍
I’ve had issues in the past running up in North Dakota and the condensation in my air ride freezing up in the lines. Do you know of any kind of blanket heaters for the tank or mechanical air dryers that would work?
I want to hear an explanation of why I would want to have a spread axle on these trailers. Typically, as I understand, a spread axle at 97" allows each axle to be loaded to 20,000 lbs. This allows semi trucks to load 40,000 lbs. on the trailer axles legally versus the 34,000 lbs. standard tandems are restricted to. For a semi this allows for some more flexibility in how the freight is loaded on to the trailer (balancing the weight) when near 80,000 lbs. combined weight. What benefits does a spread axle bring to a 40ft hotshot trailer since with even 16k axles we can not even reach the 34,000 lbs. limit for tandems? I am going off Federal numbers, individual states vary.
Great question! ARB is an Australian based company with an office and distribution in the US. Here is their about us. arbusa.com/about-arb/our-story/. Cush is a US company that makes the framework, powder coats and assembles the unit in Missouri.
Load gauge just shows the psi in the system ,which gives approximate weight. If its set up like traditional class 8 trucks a leveling valve adds or removes air from the bags to keep ride height.
I was just at my local dealer in Ontario Canada I am trying to get a three axle diamond C and they told me that you guys are not wanting to build any three axle trailers ? Is this true ?
I'm a long haul flatbed driver drive a 2020 579 peterbilt pulling a western trailer, I own a f550 like to try hotshot where can I purchase one of these and how much are they costing like this 40' air ride?

could you make a video on why you pick the triple axle over the double? there is a lot of information there..

Now make all that Bluetooth enabled and you’ve got a home run.
That's some next level stuff for a gooseneck trailer.
omG THIS IS WHAT I WANT!! YOU GUYS ARE MAKING THINGS HAPPEN!! be the best we want you to be!!

Pretty cool
How are the batteries charged? Do they get a trickle charge while running from Trump truck
They do trickle charge off the truck. 👍 And most customers with these choose to add solar panels for a little extra insurance.

Gucci trailer! now there's an idea.
How does this system work in the cold and freezing up? Looking at changing my fleet over to air ride but we do allot of Montana, Idaho, ect runs.

Put some air brake antifreeze in the system
They should park the air system in the under the neck of the trailer or somewhere not on the side

Ride quality is much better.
Do you make tilt trailers with container locks
I would love to get this trailer but the closest dealer for me is 1300km from me. you guys have no one is BC Canada. please fix this
What country is the air compressor system made in?
Great question!
ARB is an Australian based company with an office and distribution in the US.
Here is their about us. arbusa.com/about-arb/our-story/.
Cush is a US company that makes the framework, powder coats and assembles the unit in Missouri.
Will that galvanized coating soak up something like FluidFilm?
Really like your Trailor but it’s really expensive at the price
What year did you switch to the bolt on suspension and the 2/3 hp air compressor?
Hey there! We switched over to the Cush air ride suspension in November of 2021.
How does the load Guage work? Does it add more air to the bags when heavy thus the higher pressure? Or is it just the weight increases pressure?
Load gauge just shows the psi in the system ,which gives approximate weight.
If its set up like traditional class 8 trucks a leveling valve adds or removes air from the bags to keep ride height.
I was just at my local dealer in Ontario Canada I am trying to get a three axle diamond C and they told me that you guys are not wanting to build any three axle trailers ? Is this true ?
Hmm 🤔 that’s strange. We currently have no restrictions on building three axle trailers. Building them just as we always have! 👍
Nice trailers but if a person desired its impossible to order any type of DCT3🥴🤔🤔
I'm a long haul flatbed driver drive a 2020 579 peterbilt pulling a western trailer, I own a f550 like to try hotshot where can I purchase one of these and how much are they costing like this 40' air ride?
I’ve read on here someone said around $60k, but don’t quote me.
Do you make a trailer that can use the air source from the the truck
Great question! Currently we do not.
Does DC offer a 40’ full tilt gooseneck ?
Great question Josh! Not yet 😏
What color green was the trailer at the show?
The color was Kawasaki green! Available by request. 👍
@@diamondctrailers it is a great color
@@diamondctrailers Does the color cost the same as a special color or does it cost more?
What’s the max weight can your flat bed trailer carry
A FMAX216 with 40K GVWR can have a payload of as much as about 30,000lbs.
Diamond C Trailers What is the max legal length that you can manufacture a step deck?
@@parkeranderson5074 We build a 53’ overall. That’s 43’ bottom deck and 10’ step. That’s the longest we can go. 👍
Hey bro can we buy trailers direct from you guys and cut the middle man out ? The dealers. ?
Great question! We only sell through our dealer network as DC is not set up for the retail buyers experience nor do we have service capabilities.
