Not in the market but was impressed with the trailers and your presentation! Great job!
Man I always watch these videos. I own a 40 foot pj, has air suspension and hydraulic jacks, 12k axles 17.5 rims it's a nice trailer but diamond c has the best and nicest in the industry hands down. I got mine for a great deal but my next trailer will 100 percent be a diamond c no doubt.
Great job on the videos keep them coming!!!
Aaa
This is definitely my setup goal…5500 Dodge with an Aixin…this trailer…save enough money to put an Allison or ATS behind that Cummins…GOALS!!!
My Stage 3 ATS has had to go back for warranty 3 times in 2 years
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Buy right once, cry once 🤗
Thank you for sharing
That trailer is badass. And your website is awesome on specking one out!
Great presentation! Very thoural informative
Nice video. Good salesmen, very knowledgeable. You an tell he likes trailers.
Muito bom, assistindo aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Trailer nerd checking in. I asked about the step deck, and here is the video. Thanks!
🤓 🤝
I'd been waiting for a video like this from Diamond C. Thanks, this is great info!
Nice trailers 😍
Diamond C yes sir
Man those are nice trailers. I almost want to be a hotshot just to buy one.
Right. I second this
Waste of money
I already see one thing that would make this the ultimate trailer and thats it having a hydraulic dovetail! Damn got me at the end of the video!
😎
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Thanks guys. Nice video. What’s the shortest length SDX you can get??? Baddest Trailers on the road!!!💪. Damn Nice!!!
These trailers would be awesome for a tiny home. I was looking for one, but semi tractor only with air.
Now that's an idea!
i just got a new whip .. can i tow any of these trailers with my power wheels Silverado ? has a few mods like 18v ryobi battery for extra HP and a banging stereo system that plays that Barbie jam everyone likes
Trailer nerd meanwhile I watching at 1215 in the morning after building trailers all day 🤣 great job bud
🤝
Thorough!! *
Nice traler. But if u going to go that far . U mite as well get a Simi with a drop deck
Nice trailers - in the UK we call these 'Stepframe Low loaders'
Not necessarily, a low loader is ment to carry machines, step frame trailers are more like flatbeds and doesn't have any sort of ramp, quite often used to carry stacks of cheap pallets or hay, also double decker trailers usually use step frame chassis
We love ours. I'd order another today, but the prices went up $14,000.00 between the time we ordered and the time we received the trailer. $40k is steep for a hot shot trailer.
Thank you for the compliment and being part of the DC family!
What’s the cost of the custom trailer in the video if placed today
curious if you could design a winch track into the trailer that is flush with the deck, this would be an excellent replacement to a shipshee
I've used an impact for Jacks for 2 decades. Save the weight of Hydraulic for cargo.
Dam 200 years
@@Jefe1114 supposed to be 2, I look good for 200 though.
I just ordered my sd212 with eoh and airride. I hope lippert axles are good that's my main concern right now.
They are a premium product at the top of their game! 👊
Will y'all offer a step deck trailer that goes over a regular pickup bed similar to how a fifth wheel camper fits over the bedsides?
One of these are definitely on my Christmas wish list.
My only question is (while I know you can't speak for every pickup truck that could tow one of these, but) I believe the shortest length you offer is the 48'...
In your experience, GENERALLY SPEAKING does that keep one under the 65' over all length limit if they have
A dually with an 8' bed and crew cab?
A C&C with a 9' bed and crew cab?
Under 65' where they could still keep their bed?
Great question! The 48’ is a 38’ bottom deck and with most all standard 3500/350, 4500/450 and 5500/550 pickup combinations stays under the 65’ rule.
With a 48' you would 100% be under the 65' rule.....but no serious hotshot keeps his bed and I say this with a decade of experience. DOT inspects you a lot less if you don't have a bed because you aren't a "weekend trucker" if you removed your bed. Good luck 💪👊
Thank you Diamond C.
I'm not a hotshot, I'm a guy who's hobby it is too move relatives cars and boats up and down the east coast
Really great trailers do think having smaller trailers lenghts would be a.good idea
Note taken! 😁
@@diamondctrailers yup a mini stepdeck would be nice.
@@josiahg7190 came here looking for this
@@diamondctrailers a shorter one might be a good seller
About to order a couple maxed out trailers: FMAX216 35 x 102 - 40k and Workforce Dump 20 x 96 - 30k
Since you’re on the custom order topic, have you guys thought about engineering a workforce dump trailer that has a hydraulic dove? Slide out ramps are a huge pain with the skid steer
That answered a lot of questions.
The 216k brakes are bigger, but better than 312? Are they that much larger???
Blackwood pro?
Great questions Bryan!
We like the 216 combo a touch better being that it has a better power to weight ratio compared to the 312.
However if I was hauling real heavy consistently I would lean toward the 312 having those extra tires on the ground and extra axle worth of brakes when needed.
We only use the Blackwood Classic. We have had better luck with it holding up. 👍
7:45 Unless I'm misunderstanding how these jacks are used.. Isn't that side plate in the way of cracking the jack stand lever? Does it detach and re-attach through the hole on the side?
Bingo! Simply unpin - remove handle and re-pin in crank rod and get to work! 👍👊💪
I understand the “hotshot” theme, how are these for construction business? Pros and cons for a large excavation company?
Hello how much does the truck weigh and how long is the trailer ?????
Here's a good question. I know you guys use Lippert Axels. If I wanted to pull a SDX312 or SDX216 behind a single axel Semi is there anyway it could be setup to use air brakes? Also could the Ridewell suspension be setup to use tractor air supply instead of the onboard compressor system? I know Dexter axel offers 10k, 12k and 15k air brake axel setups...
Great questions.
Lippert does offer air brakes and the Ridewell system can be used with air supplied off the truck. 👍
@@diamondctrailers approximately, what is tare "empty" weight of the SDX216/SDX312. I realize opions and exact specs will cause this number to vary, but just so I have a ballpark idea.
@@codegame027 air ride or spring suspension?
Anyway we can get it custom where the slide out ramps, once pulled out and in place. Can they be some how locked in place top and bottom? Also do you guys offer a winch roller?
Great questions!
Right now they hook on only. What would be your advantage to them locking on when slid out?
We can do a winch roller on custom basis - no problem. 👍
@@diamondctrailers Having a vehicle loaded there with its back tires on the ramps maybe?
Stepped deck with air brakes and air ride with semi hich.
How can the deck on the neck be more accessible at ground. Level with out having to buy step deck trailer and would it be possible to make shorter step deck trailer
I don't really have a use for a trailer like this, but in my mind, a mini 18wheeler trailer behind my rig would look AWESOME!!! Are you required (in Texas) to have a CDL to tow one of these around? 🤔
Anything with a cgvwr over 26k is cdl required with a few exceptions so if you have a say 2007 Chevy 3500 with a gvwr of 11400 you can put a 15600 gvwr trailer behind it and be good anything more you’d need a cdl
@@patrickmcnair1965 great information! Thank you very much!!
@@patrickmcnair1965 might wanna check your math, cause those numbers will get you shut down all day long if you're not registered CDL. 26,001 lbs or 13ton is the absolute max you can be registered for without cdl. No exceptions lol.
@@austin42891 yup math was off it’d be 14600 not 15600
Patrick I believe now it's any trailer over 10001 pounds. Needs a cdl. I could be wrong
Yeah, got on the website, 27k base. Wow. Bummed. Didn't see the option for electric/over highdrolic disks on the build your own.
Hi Dakota! The option for the Electric over hydraulic disc is there 👍. It’s on the third tab of the build your own.
Personally, if im running a step deck im going with a king pin so it could be towed behind a semi. If you break down, who has another yruck to tow it? The company i tow for couldn't pull a ball coupler but can a king pin
If it was set up for say a Ram 5500 with a king pin wouldn't there be an issue with the air brakes of the semi being incompatible?
container pins ?
Where are you located?
Can you please tell me how much that trailer is
looks like the jack handle is tough to work. How does that work?
Great question! It is pinned and stowed in place. Simply unpin, remove handle and re-pin through the diamond shaped hole and get to turning! 😁
How about designing a detachable lowboy for Hotshot.
Somebody has, you'll have to look it up but it's DI trailers I believe.
Why? It wouldn’t be heavy enough to haul anything that would require a lowboy.
Hello, do you guys know if we can use the GH-7095 Spartan (Torsion-Flex) Gooseneck Couplers on this one?
Great question!
Those type couplers won’t work on the step deck.
How much is a 48ft?
I wonder how much they weigh looks like alot to me🤔
What is the pay load weight on the 53’ step deck trailers
Great question! As much as 30,000lbs depending on the GVWR selected.
Will this work properly with a 60" cab to axle truck?
Most definitely.
You’ll want to be careful with any extended range fuel tanks, tool boxes etc mounted behind the cab.
@@diamondctrailers awesome! Thanks
Is there a place to store the spare tire?
Sure is. The spare is stored in carrier under the trailer frame. 👍
shit my dually will be in soon.. looking for a trailer and this might be it. Bye bye bed.
Let’s say if I was to order 30 trailers how long will it take to build?
Might take a minute but totally doable! 😁
Can you use a f350 or f450 with a step deck trailer
For sure! We have quite a few customers doing so 👍
Are you aloud 75 ft if my ram 3500 Cummins 6.7 is a flat bed? It’s not a deleted bed? Also what is the smallest step deck available?
I’m looking for a 40ft plus the 10ft step deck trailer so it will be 50ft total distance. Thanks
Got me sold and I don't even own a dually or hotshot 😂.
What’s the smallest size step deck you have?
Great question! Our smallest size step deck is going to be the SDX212!
Should do a give away to a military Veteran. I made a big mistake with Big Tex
Give me your big tex if ya don't like it 😂
@@johndowe7003 16,500 and it’s all yours wenches and ratchets on wenches stay
What does a 212 weigh
SDX212 50’ in base trim with a spare weighs about 10,600.
Price
How much does a 53 ft step deck 40k gvw weigh??
Good afternoon, the SDX216 53ft weighs roughly about 12,420lbs with air ride suspension. It will be around 1,000lbs lighter if you opt out for the heavy duty hutch suspension.
How about a king pin trailer video???!!!
Here you go ruclips.net/video/rJlp3BVkku0/видео.html
Add air breaks please
hey why there is not phone number to contact or website ?
You didn’t show the tools box
Damn I don’t even own a hot shot but this makes me want to get one, just to get this trailer…😎
Now, how about an enclosed step deck? Ya know, for the mother in law...
How much money are we talking for something like that?
Decked out like 60-70k. Kind of a joke if you think about it. For that money, get a 50k truck and a 20-30k trailer and that setup will make you more any day of the week.
i can picture a trailer with air brakes
They have some nice ass trailers but there Hella expensive for a 40ft dual tandem trailer that can hold up to 20-22k ibs is almost $30k dollars that's just to much for a damn trailer

Hey man, calling this video
Mr. ✋ Hand
Hey man, gets your self out of the video.
You be selling trailers Not your self.
Get out of the way.
Is the 43' section of the step deck any lower than the standard 40' gooseneck to allow for taller loads or is it the same height?
Where are you located ?
We manufacture them in Mount Pleasant, TX but sell through a dealer network nationwide. Check out www.diamondc.com/find-a-dealer to see your nearest 6 dealers. 👍
Can we order it with you or, do we have to buy it through a dealer ?
