Oh man, this video was gold, just for the knowledge of attaching safety chains. Total common sense that someone could totally over look. I'm not dumb, but I feel like I could have made that mistake. It's just natural to hook it where you are used to hooking them, with those loops there i can see how someone would think it's designed for that, and maybe it is, guy says they're handles but I don't believe that at all, those were probably just manufactured like that, and the company happens to use them for this build. Hopefully there is a warning on them. This could easily be over looked. Great video tho, super clear and concise, I could see everything going on, don't feel like I missed anything.
I been in drive away for 16 yrs been through many frame rail hitches and i found out that the bolts that tighten into the frame rail hitch wears holes into the steel and in short periods the whole system becomes wabbly and loose
I could not find martins to check out the set up. .. so I have a friend who drives for a few companies, but I noticed some only want you to drive for them. Horizon only wants you working them correct? I thought horizon only did tow away,, but other day I seen other stuff, even seen a horizon big rig couple days ago. Is this how tow away drivers are making it? Are they doing driveaway as well? I know back hauls were none existed. I really want to get into this. I'm looking to order this set up.
Mr. Berche, EXCELLENT VIDEO. GREAT INFO. For the base plate on the tow car - can a trailer / welding shop fab. one? Or does it have to be some kind of an approved unit ? Thanx for the great vid.
Thanks for mentioning torque. I wore out my first Elkhart by over tightening the sway bars. Is 70 lbs enough for the bolts on the frame clamps as well?
I definitely need to know. I was doing a safety check & over tightend the safety nut & snapped the bolt 🔩 😳. Good thing guy at peterbilt was cool about welding a nut on top @ yhe delivery location
This labyrinth of linkages and angles is a geometric nightmare, a lesson in how to create the perfect tow vehicle to trailing vehicle disaster. When you are driving down the road, remember there is only a white line that separates you from a potential disaster looking for somewhere to happen.
Jeffrey, this is a quick tutorial and Brian did not go completely through the process for time sake. Yes, you should double check every bolt and nut before pulling away.
Thanks Brian! Great video. Where is a good place to purchase one of these frame rail hitches? Thank you.
Thank you for this! I am thinking about getting out of the semi and doing drive away. This was very informative.
FYI I found my frame rail hitch at Tier 1 Fabrication
