Load Trail Roll off system (Was it worth it)

I know this video is now old enough that you may have already addressed this, but a snatch block will help with under powered feeling. That effectively doubles your capacity. Great video! I am actively looking for a set up right now. Thinking of gas powered hydraulic set up. Too many batteries left me stuck half way through a job!

[@rdspeedfab]

Snatch block would have been the way to go for sure! I sold this setup earlier this year so unfortunately I can’t give any long term feedback on it

[@michaelpounders3600]

Have you shorten the winch cable? five raps on the spool and twice the length of your trailer is what you need. The winch is at this its strongest winding the first few raps. Aso, get a snatch block for those heavy loads. Go ahead and remove the solar panel. It's too small and in a bad location. Thanks for the video on the trailer and dumpsters.

[@therubbishpro7276]

Not yet, I do plan on shortening the winch cable for sure. Just waiting to have both cans in the yard in case something goes wrong and I don’t have the ability to pick one up. I want a snatch block but not sure where to attach it up front? Any input would be great.

[@michaelpounders3600]

@@therubbishpro7276 The snatch block will open up for you to put the cable in. Then hook the snatch block to the the bin and the winch cable to the winch plate. Should be a D-ring or steel loop attached to the winch mount.

@@michaelpounders3600 nothing like that up near my winch. I’d have to fabricate something.

[@michaelpounders3600]

@@therubbishpro7276 I guess that's one more thing to add to the list. I believe that is standard on the other trailers. Maybe that was the trade off for the winch inclosure. Also, how much space between the zerks and the trailer frame? Could the trailer be twisting and hitting the zerks?

[@therubbishpro7276]

@@michaelpounders3600 check my short on the zerks. Installed 90 degree zerks. They clear and now I don’t have to raise the bed to access.

[@35manning]

When I used to load 20ft shipping containers onto the tilt tray truck, I'd hook up the cable and then release the handbrake and always drag the truck under. I'd have the tray all the way to the ground for the initial pick up, but then lifted it clear to drag it up. I could also back up at an angle to the container, pick up a corner and then turn the steer wheels to line up the container, which needed to be done when there wasn't room for the truck to line up straight. Letting the truck roll back not only makes it easier on the winch, but also prevents the container from dragging along the ground. The key thing is to remember to set the brake before tilting down and thus lifting the container, aka the mechanical brake / anchor, off the ground. Fortunately my boss was smart and had a wireless remote hooked up. I could set myself up where I needed to see what was happening, stand by the cab to steer if needed etc.

[@doctorithelp]

Get yourself a snatch block for the heavy loads for less stress on the winch

[@travisB58]

Not sure if I missed it or not, but one major upgrade you need is 0 gauge cables running off of your main truck battery with an inline breaker. I never charge my trailers anymore and always has full power when dumping 👍

[@therubbishpro7276]

You certainly didn’t miss it! I absolutely need to make that upgrade!

I used to do landscaping, now I do hotshot trucking. I had a load trail 14k dump trailer. Used and abused it for 2 years and it never skipped a beat. I still have it for personal use and no issues at all. I love it. When I started trucking I bought a 26k load trail gooseneck. It’s not absolutely terrible, but I have fixed 6 or 7 welds on it. One of which caused me to lose a slide in ramp on the highway one night

[@michaelpounders3600]

For the batteries, look into getting some of the plastic battery boxes and bolting them into place. This will keep the batteries from moving around. And keep anything from contacting the thermals and shorting them out I.E chains & tools

[@TheBurtle005]

Wow…I was getting ready to pull the trigger on the laid trial triple axle setup. The trailer and three bins is 35,000 local. I’ll be looking at a different brand now. I’ve been wanting to start this sort of side hustle for about a year now.

[@davidveldman1249]

I bought a 2022 load trail gooseneck 16ft triple axle in april. I have many of the same issues. The winch needs at least half the cable removed. Every wrap of the cable cuts the pulling power down. I got 5 bins, all of the doors fit terribly. My solar charger caused issues as well. I've got a bunch more stuff as issues too. It's a great setup but the quality control is lacking. I'd still buy a load trail over the others.

[@CarterBuilds]

I sold many major brands and after a couple years I decided to manufacture my own trailers because the constant warranty shit we dealt with them doors are a simple fix fyi thought mount the new hinges on the back of the beam the door will open completely

[@rdspeedfab]

Yeah easy enough fix. The other can is correct. They’re mounted as you suggest. Just pisses me off after paying so much.

[@felixaguirre3303]

Winch is definitely under powered and if you burn it out check the solenoid (and yes its on back order) I am on my second SmityBilt Winch (no more after today)

[@therubbishpro7276]

Not sure if you looked at the date but this video is three years old. Don’t have the setup any longer.

[@Subi_doo]

At the end of the day, as long as it holds garbage, it’s a win

[@rickcollins1796]

My trailer has the battery in a plastic box. There are pieces of angle iron welded vertically to the bottom of the toolbox at the corners of the box to keep it from moving, with a slot on each side of the battery box to thread a webbing strap through. I’ve never had it move.

[@therubbishpro7276]

They must have overlooked that on my hydraulic battery. The winch battery has that but not the hydro one. I think that's what I am going to do as a quick fix

[@macp721]

Would like to know the difference with a bumper pull or a gooseneck

[@wrongway66]

So if you want a cheap, easy and fast fix for your winch, try adding a snatch block. All you need to do is hook the block to the can and attach the winch hook to the trailer or winch itself. By doubling the cable, you double the pulling power of the winch. It'll save you hundreds of $$$ and cost you like $30-150 to rectify the current issue. You can pick a snatch block at Tractor Supply.

[@manandatractor]

I was looking at these last week. Having seen your video, I'm on the fence about these guys. Hopefully here in late 2022 they have addressed these issues. I know what to look for now. Thanks!

[@rdspeedfab]

Take a close look. If you can handle doing some work yourself it may be worth it if problems come up. I sold the setup earlier this year so unfortunately I can’t give a long term report on how it’s holding up.

Did your dealer not do a make ready before you picked up? They should have unstacked the bins and put the doors on. Sounds like a shifty dealership.

how much did you pay for the trailer?

My son and I have really been considering getting into this business. One of our main points was which trailer setup to go with. I was very surprised at the battery setup or lack of setup. How any company could let equipment leave their shop in that condition is astounding. Its apparent that this company doesnt care about quality or customer satisfaction. One thing is for sure we will not be buying from that company.

Also add larger battery cables and put on extra batteries. You should also run Battery cables from each battery One to the pump and oneto the winch with breaker fuses on The ones with the switch that you can turn off and on. That way you can use both batteries at once or if the battery goes dead you can turn the other one on.

Ok I know what happened with box being off squared I can fix that easily what somebody fucked up on a cut which is no big deal but I put it all detail when they welded that on one of pipes was short so when you weld that on it pulled it self in to fix it without cut it chain it to the truck then reweld practically going have square it yourself and where ever you at pull it making the gap bigger and fill the gap and check the square as you go remember before start welding tac the two end first all said and done check the square and pray it didn't pull back in how to check that test everything to your liking ( and also you well know if it didn't work your truck left ruts miles lol jk)

[@carlobert8076]

And it there fuck up and they should have to fix but they should've sold the other one back to the shop so the new can fix his mistakes you can full take it apart and back together if you don't want to fill the gaps take all aparts that is cut short and wrong weld layers on that pipe make it to stick out Lil bit long where you can recut it I seen like that all the time through pipe fitting and cattlegourds but don't worry it can I was training brother of my on cattlegourds and the side plate had fucking gap big size where I can stick all five of fingers in it and I grab the blow touch cut it without damaging anything skills and I fix the problem and had him rewelded it back on now he's training the new guys blow touch and everything also if you have a small gap on samething like enough sheet you can weld or blow off some steam take the sledgehammer to it :) ahah
