Thumbs up for the 6 speed dodge. Couldn’t get me to trade my 6 speed 2nd gen for a new one. Just need a Diamond C to put behind it.

[@Littlegeargrinder]

I couldn’t agree with this comment more!!!! I love my 6 speed 2.5 gen. Eventually I’m gonna have a whole fleet of Diamond C trailers to pair up with it.

[@mikemiller9119]

Obviously you don’t own a new truck or haul heavy with mountains.

[@MFW1996]

@@mikemiller9119 obviously no I don’t. I also don’t have a ridiculous truck payment or emissions to deal with and cause issues. No mountains here in Texas just plenty of hills.

[@mikemiller9119]

@@MFW1996 I’ve had both. The emissions aren’t an issue anymore besides the industry collaborating to raise the prices of DEF. The gains the trucks today can haul with reliability are far better than these old trucks. Sure, they come with a hefty price tag, but I’d rather have a truck that will do all without even breaking a sweat and having so many less trips for major repairs. So you can either pay at the mechanic shop and get the same truck you began with or you can pay at the dealer and let your mechanic forget who you are.

[@MFW1996]

@@mikemiller9119 I am my mechanic. Emissions are better now, but far from perfect. They are the main cause of a lot of major repairs these days. New trucks are capable, but I can do just the same with my truck and have more fun doing so listening to her actually breathe and shifting my own gears. A 5” straight pipe and a 6 speed are wonderful things, they keep a smile on my face. Couldn’t say the same in a brand new truck.

[@willmiller7821]

I bought my first Dimond C a few weeks ago. I mentioned it to a "pro" that I was introduced to and he called them garbage lol. I'm like have you seen one? EVER? About an hour later he recanted his statement!🤣 Thanks for the video!!

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Every trailer that I own is a Diamond C. I will NOT own any other trailer,ever.

[@Big.Ron1]

It is really cool to see a manufacturer do this to prove the equipment. Only in the great state of Texas! Thank you. I know what brand I am buying!

[@thehillshaveeyes2200]

Man that hats bad ass I like that man I got the shirt to match that keep up the good work man

[@pauldiesel4582]

That is a beautiful trailer! Almost hated to see it get dirty! Great test! 5 tons overloaded I’m 100% impressed! I have see other videos of the design, materials, construction, care and concern of what your employees put into the building of the trailers. Clearly you guys are making the very best trailers in America! I would love to visit your factory some day.

[@giovarodz9950]

Awesome video theres no better way to test the product than a real life video not a fake comercial proud of you and your videos

[@patrickgermain3278]

No doubt in my mind, Diamond C is the best!!

[@EagleNestFarm]

I bought a diamond c dump trailer in December. MDT - much lighter-duty than this one, but also with telescoping dump. Love it so far! What's happening here with the 3rd stage (also happens to me the other day) is that the pump is running out of hydraulic fluid. It has nothing to do with the ability of the system to dump a heavy load. People just need to check their hydraulic level, or (since most ppl won't do that), build the hydraulic tank with extra high capacity.

[@bennycastro2190]

That is a sweet truck Mr. Crabb! I just bought a 2003 with twice as many miles and the no emissions 5.9 and 6 speed manual are a huge breath of fresh air compared to my first diesel a 2016 Duramax.

[@johnlutz9275]

What a awesome video, this is one hell of a great video, keep truckin.!!! John. MINNESOTA

[@wqtransports]

Thank you so much!! 10,000lbs (5 Tons) overweight very impressive. I WILL be placing an order! Diamond C is the truth. Thank you again wish I was there to hear what the engineers say I hope you guys have an amazing year.

[@cdalton3169]

Own two Diamond C trailers. Getting ready to buy an FMax Gooseneck. Best trailers I’ve ever owned. Love the quality!!!

[@alexpirnie7801]

Great video. I ordered that exact trailer and it just came in last week and haven't picked it up yet. But very excited and happy to see my set up in use and working great beyond it's designed limits. Thank you for all your videos and your involvement in the company. This will be my 2nd Dimond C trailer and excited to pick it up and add it to my business.

[@shanenelms9740]

Alex if u don’t mind me asking I’m looking into getting one just like this dump trailer. What was the price tag on it.

[@ezandsons]

Awesome I love my LPT I never doubted that it would dump it …. I saw the other video I personally think it was low on fluid and this is why his stopped on the third stage … Diamond C 💪!!!

[@Ishmaell711]

Awesome 👏 This was probably the best video they put out so far! Thanks

[@iraseierstad6684]

The person who made the false claims increased your sales exponentially lol.

[@philburke1902]

You guys, taking the time to do this video makes me want to go with a Diamond C for my next trailer. There are to many people who open their mouth with no basis. Love your Debunk!!!

[@jamesyork6023]

Please do more videos like this showing the trailers in action! Love it

[@christopherhorn2317]

Just picked up my 18000# LPT last week and had to haul 2 loads right away with it! First impressions are this trailer is going to exceed my needs! Which makes the wait and few extra dollars spent to build it exactly how I wanted extremely worth it. Good work Diamond C!!

[@clafournaise]

The quarry once accidentally put 14K lbs of base rock in my 10K MDT. I could tell from my tires I had too much and was a little shocked when I saw the weight. I circled back around from the scale and was able to dump the excess NO PROBLEM. The telescopic lift never even flinched.

[@stevejustice3436]

I've owned 3 Texas Pride trailers. Diamond C hands down blows them away.

[@AveryExcavating]

Thats a great tare weight for that trailer. Good video. I have an LPX 18k rated equipment trailer and we love it. very well built. Thank you!

[@end0828]

You’re the man. Great trailer design that delivers. 👍🏼

[@loren369]

Congratulations! A video is worth 2000 words.

[@ncurtis9413]

That is impressive. I have virtually the exact same trailer, even the color, but mine is the scissor. You’re exactly right when you said it would have quit as soon as you hit the up button haha. That being said it has been a kick ass dump trailer.

[@DirectCurrent4u]

Super nice Trailer! Thanks for sharing...😎👍

[@57Dalv]

Don't have the truck to pull the LPT but ordering the MDT soon! Nice job!

[@altonshelton7393]

Best video to date!! Looking good 👍

[@georgeenriquez612]

Wow that’s awesome! Great video! Thank you for making this, by far you guys make my favorite trailers.

[@bc5891]

Bigtime Diamond C fan here. When i hit the lotto i plan on buying multiple Diamond C trailers including this trailer. I would however tweak it a bit more on the OP side like (2) hydro lifts in center instead of one, etc. I have a farm and live in an area in Ms where we have very little options for dirt and gravel. If we want the good stuff like limestone the truckers here charge $900 per load but if i had a trailer like this i could simply go to the spot the truckers go and get the trailer filled for $300. I missed out on so many ops here with free highly rich topsoil that was free if i could pick it up but i had to hire truckers and that cost me $150 per load.

[@smffab2868]

Business in the front party in the back🤣👌 Thanks for the video and info on the telescopic ram, makes sense why there on simi dumps. I need one just like the video but in work truck white.

[@VTOutdoorServices]

I’m impressed. I bought a big Tex 25DU (gooseneck dual tandem, 25,800gvwr) and owned it for 3 months before getting corporate to buy it back. It was a complete turd. Couldn’t lift most loads places in it, especially if you dared to go forward of the axles.

[@jerrywilder9403]

[@richardcharpentier7845]

But look how the cylinder is bending in the middle still amazing what it can lift but whoa

[@deanhanchett379]

That as impressive! Definitely want one now. With my scissor lift 14k dump, anything over rated capacity will not lift , until you shovel some out first

[@CSmith-wn7vj]

So how much do you want for that used trailer that’s been overloaded? Lol. Great video. Love your all’s trailers.

[@447Film]

How much for the manual Cummins

[@easttexasengineering3489]

I have watched the video that showed this style trailer stall on third stage. However I read between the lines, you can clearly hear there was battery issues when they tested the dump. This is all in trick videos to make your product look better. John Deere is known for these fake videos of a Deere skid steer lifting 6500 pounds and than Cat, and Case Tryin to lift the same load and fail, however John Deere never pushes the load against the mast with the competition putting the center of gravity out more.. We call this tactic CNN or MSNBS.. lol Great video brother. My business owns two Load Trails goosenecks but I love the Diamond C quality as well.

[@tomoaktree4951]

Looks like an awesome trailer!

[@robertogonzalez2551]

Good video! You basically tested what everyone is going to do to a trailer overload them.

I can see in the future the mother of all dump trailers from diamond c with twin triple stage telescopics.

[@Regal2800]

nice demo, thx.

[@smlakhany1]

Can you do a video showing how the axles and springs are affected by overloading? I have a 16' GN with the 207 and wonder how the setup will do if I overload it by 1,000-1,500 lbs (short haul 5-10 miles moving my mini-ex)

[@carlos.velazquez]

Awesome video

[@t.l.robinson2162]

I saw this same test performed elsewhere. I thought the dual cylinder trailer would be strongest. I was surprised. I'm buying a dump trailer. Best believe it will have a telescoping cylinder.

[@warrenegan2149]

Getting my 5x10 tomorrow, glad I chose the right brand 😎

[@lukeshurtleff9770]

I'd be curious if the comments come from owners who have the "Premium Hydraulics" brand of telescopic lift? Those units were painfully slow and why I ordered my trailer with a 6/20 hoist. Looks like all the new trailers coming out have a Stillwell telescopic hoist. Maybe the Stillwells are stronger and faster? Still would like to see a video timing the cycles times of your hoist options. 5/15 vs. 6/20 vs. Telescopic vs. 13hp Honda gas powered telescopic.

[@nickisaacs132]

The problem is the 2 gallon per minute pumps, including the gas powered one. The dump industry needs to address that. I added a second pump to mine, 16' x 22k PJ. As expected, it is twice as fast. I ordered it with two batteries, so I had that covered. For commercial use and one battery, the group 24 is just too small as is the group 27. For one battery, I recommend the group 31 w/950-1100 cca. If you want to see really slow, watch a big deckover dually with a twin cylinder scissors hoist.

[@lukeshurtleff9770]

@Nick Isaacs are you able to use just the one solenoid to operate both pumps? Allowing you to use just one dump switch and possibly one remote? Thanks for the tip on the group 31 battery. BTW my standard 5/15 hoist will dump much more than the trailers legal capacity and is 45 seconds faster on an up down cycle time than my 6/20 hoist. 45 seconds x 4 loads a day x 5 days a week starts to add up.🤷‍♂️

[@nickisaacs132]

@@lukeshurtleff9770 I see no reason you can't use just one system for both pumps, that was my original plan but since the new pump had the control, I decided to keep it. That way you can use one or the other or both. I did install a hose between the tanks so they can self level. When you do a partial dump and set the bed back down you need to use just one control or it comes down too fast and will still overflow one tank. My equalizer hose is a little too small, 3/8". I agree on the 5" hoist being faster. That was on my 16' 14k Load trail, much quicker than my 6" trailers. It is all about the volume of the cylinders v/s the small pumps. FWI, if you accidently get too much on and it won't lift (it happens, Lol) I use a two foot tire iron between the frames and help it. It usually don't take much to help it get off the bottom. 2" or 3" and they are good to go.

[@CorrChoiceofMasonMaintenance]

really appreciate your informative video's , a dump trailer has been on my list for a couple of years . obviously price is always a factor but with your tour of the paint line , telescopic lift , ect there isnt anyone on the market that comes close to your quality from what i see. it will be worth the extra expense for the quality . do you offer a 16' dump with a 3 way gate , telescopic cyl and a side door to load pallets and large boulders up front with forks ? will want a goosneck as well

[@Fv_wake_n_bait]

My dream trailer!!

[@italianstallion7430]

Diamond C are very good trailers. i have owned one built strong. They have however became way over priced . You can buy a premium built trailer to the specs you would like for the same money as a factory trailer. But this was a good test it shows how good they are.

[@thehillshaveeyes2200]

Heck I love my 7.3l f250 2000 model I feel ya on that the older the vehicle the better mines still standing strong almost 300,000

Does the cylinder have a bow in it all the way up or am I seeing things Great video thanks

[@DrRchannel71]

nice my friend

[@nickisaacs132]

Good test of almost double the rating. See why you need the super singles? lol The scissors will lift a big load if it is mounted far enough forward. However, that also limits the dump angle.

[@millythecat7211]

should have the max tipping capacity in front of the axles in the specs if you dont already, possibly a image with the capacity depending on the location

[@mrwilson4909]

biggest thing i have seen with overload dump trailers, are the rear axle and/or frames bending.

[@denistaramasso9724]

When I go to pick up dirt at the yard i always ask what is the weight per yard. On a dump trailer load placement is key.

[@diamondctrailers]

Good call! Definitely want to know what the weight per yard is. Keep in mind it varies depending on moisture content (which I’m sure you know 😁). The awesome thing about the LPT is that it is not nearly as persnickety about load placement and dumping as a scissor lift or dual cylinder setup is.

[@smitty9120]

That cylinder looked extremely bowed when fully exteneded im assuming that was from being overloaded??

[@diamondctrailers]

Good eye! The cylinder remained 100% straight. What you’re seeing is actually an illusion due to the wide angle lens of the go pro. If you notice in some frames it appears that way and in others it doesn’t, same thing with the top rail or top edge of the trailer.

[@Nicolas_Frank04]

Is that 32” sides or 44” sides.

[@sambrandon8498]

No sure what's more impressive The trailer being so over loaded and it handled it like nothing. Trailer dumps it like it's nothing. Think we may need to see the where limit is of the trailer in a future video. Great trailers

[@brandonpugh7757]

Could you add some kind of scale to the trailer so you know the weight at all time? We have them on our air ride trailers but wasn’t sure without air ride if they could be added.

[@stephenellis4392]

Great trailer! How about overloading in the front of the trailer?

[@diamondctrailers]

Thank you! It was fully loaded (10K overloaded) from front to back. That is the great thing about the telescopic lifts compared to scissors or dual cylinders under the bed, you can front load them and they still dump with ease being the cylinder is always still out front.

[@stephenellis4392]

@@diamondctrailers That's one of the biggest problems with most trailers. if you're load is up front it won't dump.

@@diamondctrailers Okay. Follow up to that, is there a bumper tow version of this dumper? I know the weights would be different and all of that, but my current truck is a half-ton and is not capable of any kind of 5th wheel.

[@rauljraul]

Testing the fuck out that trailer, probably the best selling video I’ve seen… I got 2 Texas prides but once I pay them off thinking of getting diamond c trailers

[@RemigioCarabioVillanueva]

Your telescopic hoist nearly unable to tip the dump vessel despite the front end being not loaded as much as the rear end. The same thing will happen even if the hoist is an under-floor scissor tipping hoist mainly because dump vessel "tipping pivot" is at the very tail end of vessel sub-frame. Moving the "tipping pivot" forward to create some two feet overhang will provide (defending on the length of the dump vessel) substantial "counter weight" to lessen the load on the front end telescopic hoist. For a low mounted dump vessel overhang is almost cannot be done because the rear end of the body and the hanging tailgate (pivoted at the top) will "dig-in" into the ground. For a forward pivot location to work in a low mounted body construction is to have a sloping upward floor towards the end of the body. The sloping upward floor however will require a greater tipping angle of the final end of the floor equal to the angle of repose of the materials to be handled.
