these videos are what sold me on southland trailers. i bought the sl714-16 dump trailer just because of stanley's videos series on southland trailers. i researched dump trailers for a few weeks and visited all the trailer places in my area numerous times asking questions and looking at the trailers over and over. so many choices. but then i seen how southland builds theirs and the design they use and i figured if its good enough for dump trucks, good enough for me. also, i know people whos dumps trailers have rusted thru in spots on the bed because of low spots caused by the bracing. when i loaded 8-9000lb of concrete and went to lift it, the middle of the pile lifted then the box. kinda freaked me out as ive never seen that before but it lifted just fine. looking forward to using this trailer for many years to come. thank you stanley for the southland trailer series.
That demonstration with the loader was insane. The most weight of any one wheel is total weight divided by 4 on any one ramp at a time, but not insignificant. 👍😗
I love his energy, & knowledge. Then the factory & workers. Saw excellent work stations, good equipment, clean, etc. Have seen lots of Southland semi trailers on the road, all seemed to still be in good shape. But from an engineering standpoint, those look to be more sturdy than most everything I've ever seen! (& been around for almost TOO long, lol!). Great tour, along with all the others that you've done up there! Thanx !
Good morning, Stan! LOVED this video, Brother! I thoroughly enjoy how you get manufacturers to overload their products to prove their sturdiness. I like these guys. They not only talk the talk, they truly walk the walk! I have no need for a trailer, but I'd damn sure buy one of theirs just to say I have one! Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend! God bless.
I have a gal-iron pipe in to the ground hold up. I painted it with metal paint and it is still Black and standing. Won't rust at ground level and ground water is running by it under the place it was placed. Acid rain will melt back gal coating. Rusted roofs... But if you paint it it works. Fantastic trailers.
I have bought a Canadian plow 5 years ago. The thing have taken abuse and barely no rust at all. Only rust on my plow is the damn bolts which I should of used stainless steel instead of grade 8 bolts. Now southland has me thinking about buying a trailer.
If you buy a aluminum flat bed for a pick-up for the most part theyre cheaper than steal because thehre robot welded compared to the steel ones are hand welded so theyre pricer because of that
I would totally purchase a southland trailer but there is not a lot of dealers in the north east without driving a considerable distance, I hope they add more dealers soon
Trevor is awesome in the video. Seems like a great guy and very passionate. I’ll bet it’s a great company to work with or for! FYI I don’t really ever post anything like this be he just seems really cool.
Those ramps are impressive, but I will tell you from experience that one use is quite a bit different from multiple use over the course of a week. The proof would be in someone who uses it regularly over the course of 3 years to show how well they hold up over time.
@@martinscluffhi thanks for the feed back. I have a western wide out and a western v plow. I had a Myers plow but have had nothing but problems with it for the past 2 years (I am lucky if I get even 1 full shift out of it.) The store I purchased from has finally agreed that the plow is no good and wants to give me a snow dog Instead, however based on Stanley's videos I am very skeptical of accepting it.
Not first but I’ll take a top 20. Trevor is not a salesman. He is a cross between Bryan Cranston and Billy Mays. He gives facts and lets the results speak for themselves. Thanks for the road trip Stan
i got a 15k southland Equipment trailer from my local dealer and i have nothing bad to say about it. I have had mutiple friends tell me that the trailer is way over built for its rating. my future trailers will be coming from southland.
I'd buy Southland before Diamond C, my buddy owns a construction company and says he'll will only have Southland after owning both and the Southland is far more durable and better engineered and doesn't rust
"Doesnt rust" and steel trailer doesnt go together. Anyone that says their steel trailer doesnt rust is lying to you and has never been around many trailers(i sell trailers for a living)
I am not sure what I need it for, but I am sure I need one. What a great tour and demo. Thanks Stan.

More than you would ever do in a normal circumstance
I want a set of those aluminum ramps for my truck
That's not quite right, there is a significant rear bias to give staility when using a full bucket - either way, still damned impressive!

& those ramps!! Crazy, i'll have to look into those, my sons trailer is in need... Lol!
Thanks for what you do Stan definitely going to look at southland on next purchases when we upgrade trailers
Hope it helps my friend!

That was impressive. I will be in the market for a trailer later this year. I m definitely going to check these guys' trailers out
I like their trailers- their entire operaton is impressive
@@Dirtmonkey Closest dealer to me is Woodstock Ontario. 2 hrs from me. Guess I'll be taking a road trip.
Love the aluminum ramps! Have a good weekend!
Have a great weekend!
I’m impressed with those small ramps! Dayam!
right! I never thought they could hold up to that

Impressive trailers and ramps. Great video. Sounds like a great company
Stan this was a great vlog , I do enjoy your channel very much
Glad you enjoyed it
My brother bought a dump trailer from this company.
It donkey stomps the typical cheap built Big Tex Mex trailers everyone else uses here.
Aluminum doesn’t rust, but it does corrode. That’s the bad thing, especially in states that use a lot of salt in the winter months.
I have bought a Canadian plow 5 years ago. The thing have taken abuse and barely no rust at all. Only rust on my plow is the damn bolts which I should of used stainless steel instead of grade 8 bolts.
Now southland has me thinking about buying a trailer.
Just got me a south land 714-16khd you definitely sold me on that trailer and cant wait to put it to work
Those ramps are freakin awesome!
I couldn't believe what they could do!
those ramps should be on the market themselves for every trailer
Where does the zinc coating get applied between the shot blasting and painting?
If you buy a aluminum flat bed for a pick-up for the most part theyre cheaper than steal because thehre robot welded compared to the steel ones are hand welded so theyre pricer because of that
I've never bought a bad Canadian product.
Well said!
The only bad products that we have are our politicians 😂
Would love to see you test and go over EBY trailers. I did a lot of looking for a new trailer and I landed on an EBY
I would totally purchase a southland trailer but there is not a lot of dealers in the north east without driving a considerable distance, I hope they add more dealers soon

That fixes a lot of problems. Whenever I had to drive a mini excavator onto a trailer, the concern is the heavy angle
Those ramps are impressive, but I will tell you from experience that one use is quite a bit different from multiple use over the course of a week. The proof would be in someone who uses it regularly over the course of 3 years to show how well they hold up over time.
Then you get at t-shirt and new ramps 😂😂😂
Hi Stanley
What snow plow would you recommend buying for a 3500 truck?
Thanks love the channel.
Either Arctic or Sno Power.
Also check out western wideout and boss.

Trevor is an awesome dude all the way around. Glad that comes through in the video.
Nice one Stan. 🏴🏴👍👍
Good stuff! 😎
Thanks!
Looked at dump trailer last week in Ohio completely rusted from welds to wheel hubs.
Thats not good.
"Lifts 10k in the center of the ramp!"
*lifts 10500 at the very front*
I like these trailers but diamond c has a 12ft hydraulic dovetail 10k lift 10k haul
They are the only trailer with a 12foot hydraulic dove tail?
others make a 10 footer
@@Dirtmonkey diamond c….
This trailer is a money maker you will always get the load up and get going quickly
Impressive
they skipped the part where you prime before paint. diamond c does primer
Very Cool!! But Im not buying anything from Canada!
Love canadian built products. From gun parts to outdoor gear to tools and trailers.
i got a 15k southland Equipment trailer from my local dealer and i have nothing bad to say about it. I have had mutiple friends tell me that the trailer is way over built for its rating. my future trailers will be coming from southland.
Alluminum doesn’t rust , No it pits crumbles and becomes brittle if you live anywhere they salt roads
Diamond C has offered a 12 ft dovetail for years, they cant say they are the only ones or even the first. They need to do some research.
I'd buy Southland before Diamond C, my buddy owns a construction company and says he'll will only have Southland after owning both and the Southland is far more durable and better engineered and doesn't rust

YEAH 8000 # ON THE TAIL!!!!
here to help
Thanks Nash!
How can you trust dudes calling themselves "southland" when they're up in the north land?😂
😉.
First
You got it!
