Thanks for getting us in the show Stan. Out of all your videos I enjoy these types of the most. Your inquisitive attitude backed by your industry knowledge totally makes it. The Diamond C trailer ! Aww Man ! Anxiously waiting the rest of the series. Thanks again
Nice video. I have never had a reason to own a trailer but have always been interested in them. They are like classic cars with 2021 technology. Thanks for sharing.
Stan I never pulled a trailer in my life, but I pulled steel skids loaded with transformers and long hole drilling rig with 9 yard Sandvik scoop trams that bounced off the walls while traveling down spiral underground declines. It's cool to see all that's new in trailers that I never knew that existed, I will be watching it all, thanks!
Jacob from Diamond C is so calm and collected about his products. He isn't telling you to sell you, he's telling you to educated you, which will make you buy it. I really appreciate his techniques.
Through Tow Piglet and another guy out of California who documented the reason he went to Texas to buy a Diamond ♦️ C trailer was what sold me about the quality and lighter trailer vs the ole heavy design that cost ya weight and fuel .
Sam from V-Belt & Son's has 3-4 Diamond C trailers he's purchased in the past 2-1/2 years. Previously he used Texas Pride. After see Diamond C trailers, he's switched over.
I had bought two 40 ft diamond c engineered beam goosenecks for my hot shot business. They were incredible I ran oil field equipment in the mountains and hills and back roads of Ohio Pennsylvania and West Virginia. So they took an absolute beating I loaded them daily 15 to 20k and put 100,000 mi on each of them. Only problem I ever had was replacing the brakes and that's only because the drivers would never set the break gain right for the weight. And I had a bad spare tire bracket that broke off which they change the design after
@@Dirtmonkey I'm not exactly a trailer nerd haha, but I just love watching you videos. I've told my friends and family about you so they can subscribe and keep getting you bigger and bigger.
Very good points. There is a reason nobody builds a trailer with hardened steel for structural members. Sure, it would be strong and rigid. It just wouldn't handle a pothole very well. A ductile failure is far safer than a brittle failure in this scenario.
Hey Stanley, I'm about 60 miles north of Nashville; while you are in town visiting the trailer show, if you happen to run into a dealer that has an 8.5' x 16' enclosed with a set-back jack, please let me know via Utube.
Good evening! Day has been amazing but unplanned. Lots of things going on and none of them as scheduled haha. Isn't that the way it is though? Hows your day going? I'm drinking black coffee at 6;15pm so I must be tired- but it getting super cold and that kind of slows you down until you adjust to it.
9:50 automatic CLASS B AIR BRAKE and above endorsement drivers lics. required....just because it's an air system for the suspension which can affect your braking. how? cuz the tag axel lifts off the ground reducing a set of wheels with brakes. pretty messed up ain't it?!
I want a Diamond C trailer because of Stan's video of going to the plant and talking with Jacob. I don't have much if a need, but I still want to support them.
This Diamond C guy really knows his "sheet". Very well prepared for working the floor, what a resource Diamond C is extremly fortunate to have him representing their product lineup.
Diamond C has been killing it lately, especially among the content creators. I've seen a ton of content on youtube on Diamond C. But their products look awesome too though.
Diamond ♦️ C actually covers that by knowing that most businesses are gonna overload loads and with that said , if your into using a trailer ya don’t wanna always try to put materials that are to the max load . They spoke that folks don’t take the time to understand that those miles with overloaded trailers is what wears out your trailer faster . I myself have worked in the landscaping industry and we towed our trailers mostly with bumper pull and some with goosenecks but most companies would load rock , soil and the Bobcat all in the same trailer and go to a job site. Sure we’d have to drive slower but now I know that what the companies don’t care about is how long will ya be repairing and replacing your trailers cause ya overused em ? Well , that’s just my dos pfennigs. PROBST !
@@eddiereyna2998 I don’t know of anyone who owns a trailer who hasn’t at one time overloaded it, including me. Lol. That said some of the high strength steels require specific welding techniques, filler materials and or welding rods/filler material/wire. Add to that some of the higher strength steels may require pre/post heating to retain strength and prevent the introduction of stresses that could lead to weldment failures. As long as you know this, it’s not a problem. Lesser grades of steel tend to flex when subjected to sudden loads such as hitting a bump or pothole. The flexing is a means of dissipating the energy imparted by the bump/pothole. Higher strength steels don’t flex as much and would tend to impart the energy from the bump into the load. Diamond tenders this with the air ride suspension which tends to help dissipate the energy. Don’t know whether the air ride is an option or standard equipment on the featured trailer. Diamond is a great manufacturer who has an excellent engineering team and manufacturing team which, works tirelessly to provide a superior product. Just some thoughts of an old man. Love your response. Please don’t be offended by mine.
Can you ask Diamond C if they plan on upgrading the super weak charging capacity of that hydraulic dovetail trailer. You shouldn’t have to plug them in to maintain the battery if you use it almost every day, we run a 30’ goose
Well its not a "charging" circuit. It does not "push" electricity into the trailer battery. That circuit is ment to maintain a small break away battery and run interior lights and such. Not to keep a group 37 size battery or deep cycle battery charged. To be honest, if you use you your hydraulics with a low battery and plugged into the truck, that fuse is prolly blown. Those hyd unit can pull over 100 amps when under load. Your "charge" circuit is a 30 amp. Your best bet is to add a warn winch plug to your truck and trailer and run it that way.
Yeah forsure, i was thinking the same for a bumper hitch aluminum trailer. I would definitely bw interested to see how they engineer them if they started producing them.
Hi Stan, I'm guessing the Diamond C trailers are pretty pricey, but they have a lot of features and details that no other manufacturer has. They seem very well,engineered. Plus they also look really cool! I will definitely look twice at them before I ever purchase another trailer! Thanks for a whole video dedicated to them.
I am going to Kaufman Trailer’s they’re out of North Carolina the owner of Kaufman actually purchased hallmark trailers they make a boatload and they keep the price is as low as they can and quality is way up
@@steveanderson4768 I bought a Kauffman and really liked it and yes the factory allowed changes... I do not think their steel is the best but it served its purpose fine. Had to sell it when housing market crashed to keep up with my payments. I still have a Bri Mar dump that I use allot but again the steel? I know the paint is crap and rusts to beat hell.
"Put your wife in a trailer!" Stan, do not give me ideas like that 🤣 Very interesting video, cool to see so much innovation in trailers. Looking forward to seeing the other videos.
Why does none of these companies LINEX the underside and frames. Paint last maybe 3 years. High end trailers are expensive as hell and poor quality powder paint jobs
Tow trucks, busses, and trailer that have lower to load options, people it is called, "Kneel" a device to lower it. Funny Mr. Trailer doesn't know this...well informed. Customer; can I get that squatting/lowering thing you were talking about on TH-cam...😅🤣😂
Good to see industry catching up to us fabricators! I built drive over fenders and extensions 5 years ago to haul mud trucks! Thanks for all the info!!
I have a one way only entrance / exit for the double J type hooks that I have been using for decades. It is funny as all he** watching people trying to unhook them. I also use receiver tubing for stake pockets for accessories and tooling attachment points.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter if your axle is on the ground to get charged a toll. It’s how many axles you have to use that gets charged. The reason they do this is because everyone would be raising their tag axles to get out of paying the tolls.
@Scott I guess it depends on what state your in. I heard some charge by the tire, down here in Florida on the toll roads you drive over pressure plates and get charged per axle. You have a five axle setup and lift one you will be charged only for four axles because that fifth axle isn't driving over the pressure plate.
So the show 8s for dealers only and Companies see why they dont make they quota. Open it up to consumers the dealers only sell consume wht u give them a deal on. We as customer wanna see these new things not find out when we stumble across them.
Was wondering why I was watching your trailer porn. Jacob knows his products, Diamond-C is my new favorite brand (where I didn't have one before), and I know a whole lot more about trailers now. Another great video.
Stan those trailers look well built the only thing I don’t like is the steel plate over another steel plate moisture in between will cause both plates to rust out. I have a dump bed on my truck that that’s what happened I would rather have wood bottom of bed but that’s what I prefer just think more durable.
I see your point but since I don't have a diamond Cdump trailer I can't speak from experience on that. I do know the bed on my sure trac trailer is warped and looks like a wave but everything else on that one is still rock solid.
Not a fan of the multiple sheet floor one gonna rust faster and 2 would be a pain in the ass to replace the floor or just go over it all again and create rust and weight again
I'm a reseller, I buy pallets by the dozens. Right now i have a modified junk trailer. I have been looking for Diamond's Max width package goose neck. That is 100% what I been looking for. Low profile for forklifts to load pallets and wide enough to get them side by side comfortably. Sometimes pallets are overburdened and need extra room. AND it's big enough I can drive the fork lift ONTO it if needed. I was worried I was going to have to try to make one myself, which may not have been a good idea. Diamond C, yall saved me. I have not pulled a gooseneck before but it's my intention to go to it.
Hey hey stan, i though i sent a comment to you but i guess it never sent, i hope you have a awesome night, and i had one heck of a leaf clean up today. But have a amazing night, god bless and go get em, your pal and friend , Alexander costa
Just wish they built my dump trailer with stake pockets that actually fit the 2 by 4 that should go into the pockets. Great designs poor quality control. Just a little control and the finish products would be amazing. Not to mention the first time I raised then lowered my dump (empty mind you), it pinched the wiring and blew fuses in my truck.
How is a gidget different than a gadget?? Is it just a tish different, or a schose??? (Skoshe??).....editors note, commentor is originally from N.Y. so English is not so gooder, as is spelling!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can someone confirm what Jacob said about some loads you can’t haul with traditional leaf springs? I’ve had my CDL for almost 10yrs now and I’ve never heard this before
I absolutely love the diamond c products. Was a little out of my price range recently bought a big tex 16 lx. If you get a chance stop by there both and see how you feel about the product they supply
If you put 75k miles a year on it, those weight saving add up. I would bet this trailer gets .5mpg better than a "standard" GN, empty. The fact you can carry more opens you up to loads and possibly a higher rate
Well I have a air ride hitch in my pickup for my 5th wheel , well worth the investment, look in the mirror and can see the trailer moving up and down ,and cant feel it in the truck Also had my 5th wheel RV switch over to electric over hydraulic disc brakes no way would I EVER get another trailer with out them. No discussion
i really like these trailers i first saw them at highway 55 trailer sales in buffalo, but they are also at that trailer place in ramsey you went to previously in a video in 2020? or 2019
NATDA - North American Trailer Dealers Association - Went to their show in Indianapolis. Good show for actual trailer dealers since it covers trailers and parts of all type from flatbed, utility, cargo, stock and horse trailers.
Love these types of videos. Can we get an update on you buying a mini x and front end loader? Those kubotas you really like and want! Also you going to replace those Ford gasers with brand new Godzilla trucks or buy some more RAMs or 1 of each?
Very cool stuff. When was this show? I hadn't heard anything about it, (not that I would have been invited) Anyway this should be super cool. Thanks as always, God bless.
I wonder if that new Kush air ride is re engineered. Diamond C purchased back my fmax216 because the trailer would not drive straight. I believe it had to do with the ridewell air suspension and the leveling valve design. I have not heard back as to what the issue was or why they really bought the trailer back. It was 40,000 lb rated just like the one in the video. It is good to see they are improving
I’m at the beginning of the video and I really like the green trailer with the wider bed. As I plan to start my business may of 2022 doing dirt work. I’m looking at so many trailers. My old 8’ by 14’ dump trailer has been great to me for over 7 years now but I plan on needing a longer trailer for all my implements and bobcat.
I feel like spring loaded galvanized ramps/dove tail ramp setup and mechanical lifting feet is far more superior than anything hydraulic because hydraulic pumps fail, batteries go flat, and hoses leak ect...
@@RBFR01 He bought his probably 6 years ago or so its a striker 10k rated trailer bumper pull and if I ever buy another trailer it will be another full tilt trailer most likely gonna get a full tilt gooseneck to haul heavier stuff. Dad owned rollbacks for years when i was growing up and they are so nice moving stuff and this trailer is close to having a rollback but without all the extra hassle cause they have so much red tape on them due to towing companies etc.
@@RBFR01 I looked up the youtube channel you meantioned he has a pj for what i can see and he hotshots pj's are not very well built trailers and hotshotting wears out trailers quickly and they get abused big time
The video is very disappointing. From start to finish it focused on two people talking instead of the equipment being talked about. I would rather prefer seeing enough details of the equipment and leave me to imagine how the equipment works. Instead of talking about the quick release fender why not demonstrate the operation of enhancing feature of special equipment of the trailer that set it apart in terms of preventing "jackknife" on sudden braking, if at all equipped, while negotiating a curve for example. Additionally, I like the video to inform me on the safety aspect of the hitch, brake system (tractor side & trailer side equipment), suspension, running gear component, and overall ease of maintenance.
I was surprised to see the compressor equipment, including the air line connection on the road/driver's side. It would seem to make more sense, safety wise, to put it on the passenger side in the event of needing to use it during a roadside event. I would sure hate to be along side a highway fiddling with the compressor equipment while vehicles were blowing past me at 70+ mph.
You want it on the driver side for a few reasons in my opinion. I actually do have a trailer similar to that but all aluminum. I had it custom built. I specifically ordered air ride suspension with hydraulic disc brakes. For axles and suspension I have " Dexter axles / Ride Well suspension" So one reason to have it on the driver side is mine has a shut off switch there. When parked for extended period of time I shut it off. If I am unhooking the trailer or anything at all I spend more time and notice more stuff on the driver side. I don't need to walk around though walk around inspections are a good idea I guess. Also let's say you are up north in the winter. Seems there is always snow and snow banks on the right side. Emergency on the side of the road involving that part of the trailer build? It will never happen in real life to where you can't keep going to a safe place. However you might have an emergency where you can't keep going but it won't be because of that air equipment on the driver side. I have over 1 million miles experience so I can only talk from my limited experience. I know others have more than me. But I extended my air pressure gauges to outside the box. Now I can see them more easily. But extra onboard air connections outside the box seem to corrode and be rendered useless in a year.
@@ifyoutip I agree with both of the above comments, AC on drivers side and run short pcs of hose to the passenger side and front of trailer for a remote air tap. What pump did you use on the Hyd brakes? I use the Dexter axles and Carlisle pump.
@@SegoMan the actuator I got on my 2015 trailer is the Titan EHB .I think they are now sold as Brakerite. The actuator on my 2021 custom built trailer I don't remember what it is but I think it is the same or else it is a Dexter. . But mine has never caused me any problems ever. Very happy with it. Running a line and tap over to the other side of the trailer is a good idea. Honestly though I have only used my air tap like 3 times in 5 years.
@@ifyoutip Same here on my Carlisle (now Hydrastar??) brand actuator, I have 2 HD 12k Dexter axles w/ disc on a pipe trailer that I built. I ran SS lines all the way to the back and had SS flex hoses built for the drop to the axles. A lot of people don't realize electric drums only stop you when your going forward whereas a disc is both directions. I have a killer toy hauler designed that I want to get built but spare time & $$ is on back order LoL Thanks for the reply!
I wish I had known you were in Nashville, I would have fed some real Texas BBQ, I need to pay better attention to your site. Loved the in-depth info on the trailers and what is new coming in 2022. You are so good at carrying us along as though we were just walking around with you, Good job on your production
As much as I want a new LPX with the max width, I’m happy I’ve been holding off because it keeps getting better. Procrastinating might actually payoff in my case😆😆😆
@@Dirtmonkey when I went to my local dealer a year ago they said at the time it was a 3-5month lead time. I’m sure it’s even more now. I know the company I’ve bought my skid steer and tractor attachments through have a 4-6month lead time now.
That grade 100 steel is just 100k psi yield steel, a36 mild steel is 36k psi, they are just dumbing down the terms so there’s less area for confusion, Trucks use high strength steels from 50k to 120k psi so it’s not a made up thing, it’s just being marketed differently but not in accurately. The reason to use those steels is less weight per strength and rigidity, but they tend to become less flexible and more brittle as you go up, and break more than bend when combined with commonly used thinner steel in those applications.
Thanks for getting us in the show Stan. Out of all your videos I enjoy these types of the most. Your inquisitive attitude backed by your industry knowledge totally makes it. The Diamond C trailer !
Aww Man ! Anxiously waiting the rest of the series. Thanks again

Typically higher yield steel means lower elongation steel. You don't get something for nothing. HSLA has it uses but is not everything

Harder steel is a good thing UNTIL it has been overstressed, damaged or you want to weld something to it. Then, all bets are off.

I see your point but since I don't have a diamond Cdump trailer I can't speak from experience on that. I do know the bed on my sure trac trailer is warped and looks like a wave but everything else on that one is still rock solid.
Not a fan of the multiple sheet floor one gonna rust faster and 2 would be a pain in the ass to replace the floor or just go over it all again and create rust and weight again
Diamond plate is not no slip in the winter with snow on a track machine we used to always weld grouser bar to the metal
I'm a reseller, I buy pallets by the dozens. Right now i have a modified junk trailer. I have been looking for Diamond's Max width package goose neck. That is 100% what I been looking for. Low profile for forklifts to load pallets and wide enough to get them side by side comfortably. Sometimes pallets are overburdened and need extra room. AND it's big enough I can drive the fork lift ONTO it if needed. I was worried I was going to have to try to make one myself, which may not have been a good idea. Diamond C, yall saved me. I have not pulled a gooseneck before but it's my intention to go to it.
if i get blessed by he man above id love to have a Diamond C. i want to start a HOTSHOT company. American dream to work for yourself and Handle it
Thats a growing Industry. Good time to jump in.
Hey hey stan, i though i sent a comment to you but i guess it never sent, i hope you have a awesome night, and i had one heck of a leaf clean up today. But have a amazing night, god bless and go get em, your pal and friend , Alexander costa
You sound tired Alexander. Have a good night and get some rest.
Could it be north american trailer dealers association just a guess
You teased some loading ramps in the intro, but never saw them in detail. What’s the deal with those?
They are in the second video
Stan! I'm Jasmine~ Please check your Email. And I really like your channel❤❤
Thanks Jasmine & will do
Thank you for the video
Diamond C is cool
Man that is one serious dump trailer, wow.
Im having trailer envy
Great video, I love videos like this that show new equipment.
Me too!
that air system needs to be a passenger side for safety if your using it as an air compressor
Wow! Jacob passing on all this knowledge and introduction and implementation of new technology into these trailers is amazing!
Just wish they built my dump trailer with stake pockets that actually fit the 2 by 4 that should go into the pockets. Great designs poor quality control. Just a little control and the finish products would be amazing. Not to mention the first time I raised then lowered my dump (empty mind you), it pinched the wiring and blew fuses in my truck.
Why are all of their tongue jacks mounted with the handle towards the rear? I've never seen that
Those were electric jacks
How is a gidget different than a gadget?? Is it just a tish different, or a schose??? (Skoshe??).....editors note, commentor is originally from N.Y. so English is not so gooder, as is spelling!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think its a tich different but thats just me since I don't know what a skoshe is😃👊
@@Dirtmonkey all i know is my Maine Grandmother said that is more than a drizzle, less than a bunch!!!
I live 4 miles away from were those shocker hitches are made in Arthur North Dakota
Dang that’s cool!
Steel doesn't have a molecular structure...
North American Trailer Dealers Association
Diamond C has there stuff together. Their videos are pretty good too. Cool video Stan, looking forward to the rest of trailer week
You betcha & thanks man 👍
Can someone confirm what Jacob said about some loads you can’t haul with traditional leaf springs? I’ve had my CDL for almost 10yrs now and I’ve never heard this before
🤔 so Diamond C uses HY-100?
Might be time to upgrade my big tex trailers
I absolutely love the diamond c products. Was a little out of my price range recently bought a big tex 16 lx. If you get a chance stop by there both and see how you feel about the product they supply
I have info on big tex maybe I can work it in a video
That "Shocker" hitch is similar to several RV airbag hitches. They WORK !
WOW, those are some nice trailers! It's a shame this isn't open to the public. Thanks for sharing Stan!
More to come👊
I used to distribute shocker hitches for a minute ….great products
Great idea
Dinosaur Colorado USA saying hello and thank you for sharing
Hello there! Thanks for coming in tonight👊
Is grade 100 necessary at all? The cost wouldn’t be worth the weight savings.
I think so. Im not sue why they would use it otherwise
If you put 75k miles a year on it, those weight saving add up. I would bet this trailer gets .5mpg better than a "standard" GN, empty. The fact you can carry more opens you up to loads and possibly a higher rate
Grinding till truck two next spring!!
Thanks for the help and content that helps businesses grow.
Thanks for the feedback. I have some cool stuff coming up in a future GIE video.
Well I have a air ride hitch in my pickup for my 5th wheel , well worth the investment, look in the mirror and can see the trailer moving up and down ,and cant feel it in the truck
Also had my 5th wheel RV switch over to electric over hydraulic disc brakes no way would I EVER get another trailer with out them. No discussion
Loadtrail already has that gravity tilt trailer
i really like these trailers i first saw them at highway 55 trailer sales in buffalo, but they are also at that trailer place in ramsey you went to previously in a video in 2020? or 2019
How does a trailer with 2 16k lb axels rated for 40k lbs ?
Pretty sure the tongue is taking some weight in addition to the axles.
I remember that trailer guy from before.. I like him. I like how he evenly explains everything out.
yeah- he's just very even keeled. and easy to talk with.
Why do I horde trailers I never use and want to buy more???
Because thats what a guy does. Nuff said
NATDA - North American Trailer Dealers Association - Went to their show in Indianapolis. Good show for actual trailer dealers since it covers trailers and parts of all type from flatbed, utility, cargo, stock and horse trailers.
Love these types of videos. Can we get an update on you buying a mini x and front end loader? Those kubotas you really like and want! Also you going to replace those Ford gasers with brand new Godzilla trucks or buy some more RAMs or 1 of each?
Dang- you need to be my next content producer. I could never keep up! Thats all good stuff
Very cool stuff. When was this show? I hadn't heard anything about it, (not that I would have been invited)
Anyway this should be super cool. Thanks as always, God bless.
Diamond c is one of the best no doubt
I wonder if that new Kush air ride is re engineered. Diamond C purchased back my fmax216 because the trailer would not drive straight. I believe it had to do with the ridewell air suspension and the leveling valve design. I have not heard back as to what the issue was or why they really bought the trailer back. It was 40,000 lb rated just like the one in the video. It is good to see they are improving
I’m at the beginning of the video and I really like the green trailer with the wider bed. As I plan to start my business may of 2022 doing dirt work. I’m looking at so many trailers. My old 8’ by 14’ dump trailer has been great to me for over 7 years now but I plan on needing a longer trailer for all my implements and bobcat.
Thanks for the video 👍⭐⭐⭐love Nashville.
Glad you enjoyed it
I feel like spring loaded galvanized ramps/dove tail ramp setup and mechanical lifting feet is far more superior than anything hydraulic because hydraulic pumps fail, batteries go flat, and hoses leak ect...
My dad owns a full tilt car trailer and it has had the crap used out of it and so far the cylinders pump etc keeps a going
@@nou8257 a youtube channel "Danger Industries" has a setup like that and has had nothing but problems :/
@@RBFR01 He bought his probably 6 years ago or so its a striker 10k rated trailer bumper pull and if I ever buy another trailer it will be another full tilt trailer most likely gonna get a full tilt gooseneck to haul heavier stuff.
Dad owned rollbacks for years when i was growing up and they are so nice moving stuff and this trailer is close to having a rollback but without all the extra hassle cause they have so much red tape on them due to towing companies etc.
@@RBFR01 I looked up the youtube channel you meantioned he has a pj for what i can see and he hotshots pj's are not very well built trailers and hotshotting wears out trailers quickly and they get abused big time

The hybrid quad ramp/trailer. Seen a coworker with a set of those on his truck with his quad a month ago.
The video is very disappointing. From start to finish it focused on two people talking instead of the equipment being talked about. I would rather prefer seeing enough details of the equipment and leave me to imagine how the equipment works. Instead of talking about the quick release fender why not demonstrate the operation of enhancing feature of special equipment of the trailer that set it apart in terms of preventing "jackknife" on sudden braking, if at all equipped, while negotiating a curve for example.
Additionally, I like the video to inform me on the safety aspect of the hitch, brake system (tractor side & trailer side equipment), suspension, running gear component, and overall ease of maintenance.
Comment
🙏 as always- thank you Grant. Your help is much appreciated
I was surprised to see the compressor equipment, including the air line connection on the road/driver's side. It would seem to make more sense, safety wise, to put it on the passenger side in the event of needing to use it during a roadside event. I would sure hate to be along side a highway fiddling with the compressor equipment while vehicles were blowing past me at 70+ mph.
Other small item that could be added to that cush setup is a quick glance sight glass on the load gauge. Could even be replaceable.
You want it on the driver side for a few reasons in my opinion. I actually do have a trailer similar to that but all aluminum. I had it custom built. I specifically ordered air ride suspension with hydraulic disc brakes. For axles and suspension I have " Dexter axles / Ride Well suspension" So one reason to have it on the driver side is mine has a shut off switch there. When parked for extended period of time I shut it off. If I am unhooking the trailer or anything at all I spend more time and notice more stuff on the driver side. I don't need to walk around though walk around inspections are a good idea I guess. Also let's say you are up north in the winter. Seems there is always snow and snow banks on the right side. Emergency on the side of the road involving that part of the trailer build? It will never happen in real life to where you can't keep going to a safe place. However you might have an emergency where you can't keep going but it won't be because of that air equipment on the driver side. I have over 1 million miles experience so I can only talk from my limited experience. I know others have more than me. But I extended my air pressure gauges to outside the box. Now I can see them more easily. But extra onboard air connections outside the box seem to corrode and be rendered useless in a year.
@@ifyoutip I agree with both of the above comments, AC on drivers side and run short pcs of hose to the passenger side and front of trailer for a remote air tap.
What pump did you use on the Hyd brakes? I use the Dexter axles and Carlisle pump.
@@SegoMan the actuator I got on my 2015 trailer is the Titan EHB .I think they are now sold as Brakerite. The actuator on my 2021 custom built trailer I don't remember what it is but I think it is the same or else it is a Dexter. . But mine has never caused me any problems ever. Very happy with it. Running a line and tap over to the other side of the trailer is a good idea. Honestly though I have only used my air tap like 3 times in 5 years.
@@ifyoutip Same here on my Carlisle (now Hydrastar??) brand actuator, I have 2 HD 12k Dexter axles w/ disc on a pipe trailer that I built. I ran SS lines all the way to the back and had SS flex hoses built for the drop to the axles. A lot of people don't realize electric drums only stop you when your going forward whereas a disc is both directions.
I have a killer toy hauler designed that I want to get built but spare time & $$ is on back order LoL
Thanks for the reply!
I wish I had known you were in Nashville, I would have fed some real Texas BBQ, I need to pay better attention to your site. Loved the in-depth info on the trailers and what is new coming in 2022. You are so good at carrying us along as though we were just walking around with you, Good job on your production
Thanks for the video. Sure is some nice setups at the show!
Thanks for watching!
I'm loving the diamond c trailer company. Did they give you a discount code yet? My apologies if I missed that announcement. 😁
Does this mean that "DIRT MONKEY" may be getting a New Flatbed or Dump Trailer soon?
Diamond D all the way as far as I am considered!
always upgrading my equipment as best as I can.
As much as I want a new LPX with the max width, I’m happy I’ve been holding off because it keeps getting better. Procrastinating might actually payoff in my case😆😆😆
They have a wait list
@@Dirtmonkey when I went to my local dealer a year ago they said at the time it was a 3-5month lead time. I’m sure it’s even more now. I know the company I’ve bought my skid steer and tractor attachments through have a 4-6month lead time now.
That grade 100 steel is just 100k psi yield steel, a36 mild steel is 36k psi, they are just dumbing down the terms so there’s less area for confusion, Trucks use high strength steels from 50k to 120k psi so it’s not a made up thing, it’s just being marketed differently but not in accurately. The reason to use those steels is less weight per strength and rigidity, but they tend to become less flexible and more brittle as you go up, and break more than bend when combined with commonly used thinner steel in those applications.
