I'm the Goshen, IN driver for a National LTL carrier. I pick up Lippert materials for your company. I've seen MAXX-D on my bills of lading plenty of times. Pretty cool to see my efforts in action! For many years I've been around heavy equipment as a farm boy, soldier & civilian. These dump trailers look well engineered, tough & ready for years of dependable service. The Lippert Corporation engineers high quality products with state of the art manufacturing techniques & I'm proud to be on the team making these trailers happen~

Just bought a 16k gooseneck DTX and couldn’t be happier with the quality!

I own a maxx-d roll off dumpster trailer. All of maxx-d trailers are built to last! I’ve been very happy with my trailer and I’ll definitely only buy and recommend Maxx-D in the future. Also dealing with warranty issues and parts has been extremely easy calling or emailing directly to maxx-d to get things fixed, not having to wait around on dealerships having down time. Definitely worth the money! You get what you pay for!

We have two MAXX-D 14’ dump trailers that we use for our roofing jobs. They dump those heavy loads effortlessly in comparison to our other trailers whom will sometimes not want to lift the certain sized loads. Out all the other brands we’ve used. MAXX-D has been the best.

all you need is a diverter valve for the front jack and dump, simple and easy H&H has it for their 14k equipment haulers, works so slick

I already own a Maxx-D 22ft power tilt flatbed trailer and love it (Only wish is got the hyd. jack but going to add later) Am now looking at purchasing a dump trailer and this video helped with making a decision. To me I like the telescoping due to people having a bad way to over load the front half and the telescoping is the best for this. Now just need to find the right deal to purchase.

Very nice video to compare telescopic and scissor hoist. Each has its own merits.It depends on final user needs.

Tube for crossmembers always ends up rotting because they hold moisture. Better off using channel. I've seen guys try that tube crossmember thing under roll-off containers too and they all rotted out in just a couple years

What is the height of the trailer when at full extension. We have a horse boarding facility. We will be hauling shavings. I want to make sure the ceiling height of my storage shed will accommodate the trailer to dump out the shavings.

[oblioyou]

Why did you not load to the rated capacity? There is not one mention of the steel prep, type, or gauge. Is it possible they will not be able to lift the full load?

[balamala]

For me it's not about the speed of the dump, it's about the reliability of a dump so if I have a really heavy load, my preference is the telescopic lift.

[jacobgatts]

Much like target shooting, speed is not accuracy. While the scissor will arguably be the fastest lift system, the telescoping is hands down the strongest. For those saying BS, how do dump trucks lift? lol. Less stress on the frame too. Look at Texas Pride Trailers torture test from Dirt Monkey. They run all 3 lift systems on their 20k trailers. They loaded the trailers until they would not lift anymore then weighed them. Scissor was around 27, 200lbs, dual was 36, 900lbs, and telescoping came in at 47, 120lbs. Texas Pride makes a great trailer and $6, 000 - $8, 000 cheaper for a beefy trailer. (Not Diamond C or Maxx-D beefy, yet still contractor grade) Scissor lift will continue to get the job done! Just better technology out these days.

Observation. The way that both trailers lifted the drawbar as the load shifted means the operator will need to be careful when spreading, or they will lift the rear pickup wheels off the ground.

[chrispastore]

I am confused by the two separate pumps. We use hydraulic systems at work the move multiple cylinders off 1 pump. I also wonder how every single piece of heavy equipment does it, considering the drive system and boom are all run off the same pump. Can someone explain if there is something I'm missing about these two cylinders? Otherwise, both trailers look nice and have some neat features.

[lesliemaness]

Great comparison video. Lots of back and forth in the comments on the pros and cons of each lift system. I would design a combination of both a ram to get the momentum started and a scissor to finish the dump.

[CliffsideStables]

What gauge metal do you use for your flooring? Is there a seam in the middle of the floor?

[henrycarlson]

Interesting, Thank You . Good thing you're hitch was well latched, It looks like at about 1.40 the loads shifted and made the front ends come up . As we all know over balancing a load is NOT a good thing. Still a fine demonstration of useful trailers. To the critics Every trailer has many design choices .

[velez]

Came for a comparison of the lift turned into a sales pitch for 90% of the video

BigTex Trailers will dump as much as you can put in it. Don't get me wrong. You've got nice
trailers but, it should dump all you can get in it. It sucks when you get more than
half full and it won't dump. I will be looking closer at your trailers and prices.I need a new heavy dump
that I can haul behind both my truck or my tractor. I use that when working off-road. I really
like your remote. Makes it nice to dump from the cab. I'm guessing that they both have wireless remote.
It was a good video.
Thank you.

I might have missed it- what is your painting system? My biggest gripe with my new trailer it's paint blistered within a year. Very disappointing.
