Has anybody seen the new drop frame pups floating around?
I've pulled them many times, but have not seen them lately.
Doesn't seem to be a way to use the snubber when just towing a single and a dolly. Unless I missed something.
Nope, except to use two dummy glad hands.
Do you guys need to be “qualified “ with them???
Nope.
Is there anything different you need to do or know in order to use them???
Nope. Just need to know that they will retract, pull the rear closer to the front, over 45 mph.
What would happen if you had to quickly swerve in order to miss hitting a person or car, would the dolly retract back to normal position fast enough???
Nothing. There is still plenty of room. But, if you swerved too far so that the trailers may touch, you're already in trouble and will most likely flip the rear box.
Crimp the red airline by folding it back on itself.
Hold this tight with one hand, turn valve on then off with other hand.
Snubber with set.
Not how to do it with the new drop decks.
That is for a regular pup, there is no valve on the drop frame pups.
Correct.
EDIT:
Crimp the SHORT red airline...not the long one.
You have never seen one of the new drop decks. This is how to set the snubber on most trailers, but not the new drop decks.
How do you check the air if there are no valves??
Pull the button on the rear and you will hear the air.
WOW.
Where have I been the last 30 years?
Where have you been the last year, when these new trailers have started appearing?
You're not understanding me, there is no shut off valve. Just a snubber button to push in or pull out. Pull it out and it puts the snubber on but also leaks air from the line.
Correct. This checks for air to the valves, but to keep the snubber on, you need 2 dummy glad hands.
I misspoke:
1) crimp red airline
2) turn air valve on
3) push snubber button in
4) snubber will set
5) turn air valve off.
No air valves to turn on these trailers. You have never seen one, and keep posting the incorrect procedure.
I DID NOT supply air to the service side. I'm afraid someone is gonna try this and really screw something up
Will not screw anything up. You need that one on these new trailers to keep the snubber set.
Ok one more time....there is no valve on the new drop frame trailers.
You tell him.
I keep wanting to say a T-dolly cost $14K
Give or take, $14,000 from Silver Eagle.
They appear to be brand new. Rollers down the middle and the fold down things inside.
Yep.
Originally bought for of Amazon. Amazon had certain hubs that only wanted these trailers.
