Sweet looking trailer...nice that it has air assist axles & ramp, compressor and wench. Yes, I would like to see the wiring on it. Those are some heavy tandems. Thanks!🤩
Nice trailer. I have a LoadTrail 40 ft. I have had a lot of trouble with the condensation freezing up north. I got a air dryer filter from tractor supply and place it right in front of the compressor in the air line before it exits the toolbox and I have no problems going-0 degree weather. Also my hydraulic dove tail I have to push a leaver to make it unlock to go down. Thanks I like it.
Thanks for this detailed video ChassisBlack73. That is about the nicest and well equipped hot shot trailer I've seen, you really added some critically important options to hot shot effectively. There's a lot of crap out there and this very well-done video exemplifies just how high-quality Iron Bull (norstar) is. They should give you a commission CB73! Good choice on adding the Gen-Y coupler too, easier on you and the truck. Keep the good material coming ChassisBlack, much appreciated!
Also check ur anchor screws for the hardware in the toolbox they will rattle loose and tear up some stuff. After 1.5 years if u run in the salt u need to change the caliper orings and anti rattle springs if u don’t they will just loose and fall on ur rotor if u have disc brakes. If not ur good. Thanks again
Very fancy trailer you got there! I want to build a flatbed from scratch, I now have some idea's of what I want to do. Nothing too fancy it's a stripped down camper frame right now. The axles aren't much but the frame itself is made of massive I-beams which should hold a lot of weight.
I can't believe how many people "watched" the video then wrote a bunch of dumb questions that "if" they had seen the video they would know the answers to them, either that or people are just clueless and have no idea what they just saw.
Nice trailer bro. The only thing I would change is only having the rubber floor in the middle of the deck only to allow pallets to slide when loading but still have the resistance to secure it from sliding in transit. This trailer looks like you’ll get plenty of work out of it💯
Didn't notice a suspension dump valve. You always want to dump the bags before unloading. It will prolong the life of your bags. You don't want them fully extending everytime you unload. Also take that jack out of the box or secure it. Wouldnt want it sliding into your valves or compressor.
Great piece of equipment. That dovetail; never seen one however it gives you an advantage to load different items and also was thinking the same thing in regards to load angle- adding some additional ramps to compensate for the pitch angle would be nice if they were able to lock into that ramp via some locking pins to prevent them from dancing when loading and unloading with just one person.
@@THUNDERstroke73 if u dont mind me asking how u get passed dot inspection with your front side windowd tinted like that? I want mine tinted like that... can u share some insight on that?
Can you please show where solar panels are for charging, will batteries also charge while in transit off of truck? Also can you please tell us about the air compressor and storage tank for air ride? Also, let's say that you are are going to load a car....you get front wheels on the main deck, can you lift rest of car with the hydraulic dove tail? How much weight can you put on the dove tail when it is up in lock position? Nice truck and trailer. Thanks for the video, keep the videos coming. God Bless you and your family
I bought a 32 Feet trailer like you a PJ and was was taking to the thumb area of Michigan and was pulled over and given a Ticket for not having the correct CDL license rating. I have a regular Chauffeurs license but apparently i have to have CDL-A license a Misdemeanor ticket, one time with nothing on it because the GVRW is 25000 lbs. so i am trading it off for a tag trailer so the dump trucks can haul the small equipment, its sad when they give a ticket for weight thats not on there but might be on there so to that they can shove it all they did was cost michigan money in tax revenues because we are done with it.
I made a previous comment, but you mentioned the lift axle, and kind of what I was wondering, why don't they let you choose front or rear lift axle. Tight driveways and turnarounds would be easier if the rear axle was lifted, shorter wheelbase, just watch for tail swing. The other thing I was wondering , does the Gen Y hitch fight with the air ride trailer, or counteract?
I am not. I'll tell you Ironbull is good but don't get air ride. Get torsion suspension instead. And don't waste time with a hydraulic tail. For the truck I highly recommend the Ford 6.7. But don't get anything more then an XLT. Save the money. That's my best advice for ya.
Does it have electric over hydraulic brakes? If so, I think they must be drum rather than disk. I think 12000 lb. is as large as you can go with disk. Thanks. Nice trailer!
Ok in SC what brand trailer, what type Teailer? What length trailer? What options, opinions & tips would you recommend ? I have CDL :) 58 years Young, Every weekend home 🏠 Or every other day that Will be helpful what’s your experience :) thanks 🙏
Looks like this company copied the trailers Fred Mann used to build in Waterville, KA. He was the first person to patent a self lockable hydraulic tail used on a trailer other then a semi trailer. It operated the same way as this fellow demonstrated operating this trailer. To lower the tail, a Mann trailer tail would rise slightly, un lock, then lower. The same with raising. It would raise higher then level, lock, then comeback down. I know this because I had one of his trailers & was a dealer for him. The trailer I had also had twin hydraulic jacks in front. Also, if you twisted a pin on both sides, you could raise the trailer while the neck was in a bent position. The dolly jacks could either be up or down for this procedure.
Two questions, (thanks in advance for your reply) 1, What does your trailer weigh with required equipment (chains etc.) 2, How frequently do you have to pass on a load due to it being too heavy ?
If you only knew the shitty way they make those trailers along with all the other dozen trailers makers within 30 minutes of each other around there you would be sick. But looks like you got one built on good day. Far as diamond c trailers go best 2 trailers i have ever owned.
Does Iron Bull have a website where you can check out all their options or is this something you have to do at a dealership? I didn’t see a website, apologize if I just missed it.
I also asked in another video, do you have issues with the trailer bearing weight on the dovetail? I can't find info on any hydraulic dovetail for weight bearing beyond center.
Really nice trailer.. I'd like to see how the air bag system works. I figure the aft axle has 2 bags, but the forward axle must have 4. 2 for ride and two for lift, right???
Sweet trailer man I wish I had it when I had my hotshot company I ran a 22GN Bigtex and it was a great trailer but the only problem I had with it was the damn dovetail dragging almost every where I went.
Hey thank you for the video informative through it though I kept asking myself did the Cheapskate Americans use a cheapskate paint job didn't you say it was powder coated hot dog I bought a brand new 2009 Fontaine step deck 53 ft long cheapest paint that they could buy it take long to rust out after beating it to Pieces over 2 years I got rid of the junk I like the idea of powder coating you pay a big price for something you should get quality
Thank you sir! I got quoted out of California... California prices. I’ll give them a lookup and see what they can do for me! I really appreciate it man!
Great looking trailer.. I was looking at that 15k axle configuration over @ Maxxd & Diamond C. I opted for 40k Maxxd trailer with monster ramps. I don't use my rsmps that often,but i still want a hydraulic dove. Why did you go with the northstar trailer?
My dealer sells Maxxd as well, so I debated between the 2 for awhile. But I went with them because I had owned one before this one and liked it. Also because I liked the design of the hydraulic dovetail. Not a flawless trailer but does well so far
