Can I get fifth wheel and air brakes
Beautiful trailer. 4 years ago I bought a new/custom Fmax212 through a dealer, it was a GREAT trailer. Had to sell it, long story short. If I go hot shot again I'm definitely going this route!!!!
This is the future, it looks very functional and designed thinking of the needs of the customer. Always awesome to see a company that started small and the success has been improving what is good and creating new products to push the limits of creativity.
I was just thinking about this the other day, is time to do a better solution for that long heavy gooseneck, every body that is in trailer business knows that payload is key, lightweight and strong
Hey man, Carlos you works at 💎 -C
My Boss man 👨
He makes me do the same stuff.
I gets $5 for each Facebook post, and all the different platforms.
Boss man always says to gives his business 5 stars 🌟.
I says Yes Sir Boss Man 👨
Dovetail air ride hydraulic jacks. Perfect..I run the gooseneck love it
The future is bright for Diamond C.
I can’t wait to see them start building step deck in shorter lengths. A step deck in the 30’ range would be absolutely great for contractors hauling equipment in more local areas.
Yep! I agree. A stubby (32ish feet) step deck with hydraulic dovetail would be the perfect all around trailer for my needs.
@@jamesyork6023 We can do it! 👍 Don’t have it setup as a selectable option but can do it no problem on custom basis.
@@diamondctrailers I’ll have to keep that in mind once I get the house build wrapped up! Would I have to specify what I want from a dealer or reach out to you guys directly?
@@jamesyork6023 It would be best to work with your dealer on it. 👍 Thank you!
@@jamesyork6023 hopefully they listen to that and start making one because it’d definitely be my next trailer
Love that you put the curb weight sticker on all traliers!!!
That is a nice looking trailer. I like the fact that there aint no tall "goose neck" hitch on it!
Hotshot Trucking you're starting to Peak my interest this trailer design is a money maker
Man I love the trailers
I can’t wait to get DC
Looks like a awesome rig
Years ago I had a hotshot. 48' x 102" aluminium East flatbed with sliders. With a real 5th wheel. Good luck.
Bad or good?
Would love to see step deck with a 16-18' dump body. I would love to be able to ramp into the trailer and then up onto the deck with a smaller piece of equipment or just store attachments up there.
And I'll tip my hat to DC for being progressive and stepping there game up with the proper weights on the vin stickers. Hopefully you will eventually collect enough data to give approximate weights when configuring a trailer. Then the consumer can make a better decision about which brakes and axles will accomplish the desired payload goals.
Thank you Luke! Working on the weights for configurator now. 👊
Luke I love the idea!! Diamond C, can you build?
Can’t wait to get mine it’s also coming to utah any day now

I have big Tex, but that’s my dream trailer
Very nice trailer I like it
When will you start manufacturing aluminum trailers? I'm waiting for this ))
A 20 foot version would be great for me when I start up my weed control and fertilization business so I can put my ride on spreader sprayer on it along with a nurse spray tank and hold couple pallets of fertilizer.
I've wanted to build a trailer like this for several years with 2 7k axles. A lighter version of this one just made for a hotshot or a flatbed.
What's the price for it I love it
Equalizer is old school, hutch is much better, where do you mount a winch at? good luck getting a scissor lift or a roller up those megas and without disc brakes stopping should be fun at $68k it
better last forever cause you'll be financing that long
Great finish beam is cool overall decent product not much dealer support out west.
Will a slip tank fit with a step deck on a 3500 with a long box delete and flat deck put on
Nice trailer! Do you have to remove and reinstall the crank every time you want to raise or lower the landing gear?
Hi there Bill!
Yes. It is a quick pin.
Good Evening! Do you think it's time to do a new video on your updated stepdeck? You just happen to be building a Lime Green SDX 216 that we ordered in January that is waiting on the air bag suspension. You could go over all the options we chose and we could get a sneak-peak. Thank you for such a fantastic product, we really look forward to using it! Sincerely, Dianna Cuarisma, Cuarisma Trucking LLC.
Thanks for letting us know! I'll pass this along but can't make any promises!
@@diamondctrailers Understood; Thank you for the Reply and Effort.
As of now is there any airbag type couplers like the shocker for these flatdeck trailers? Or do they jerk back and forth less?
Hi there Epe, There aren’t any available as of now for the Step Decks.
Will this work with a Freightliner Sport Chassis, or will the front deck hang up on the truck?
We have customers running them on single axle Peterbilts. Shouldn’t be a clearance issue. 👍
Can you do a review on the three-axle step deck
I am thinking about getting one
Please
How does the jack handle come out for u to crank down the jacks it looks like there is a obstacle or piece of reinforcement gusset just on the outside of where u have the handle mounted
6 mins 25 secs pause video and look at the handle and how would u use it
Great question!
There is a quick pin there that you pop out, the handle easily comes out and re-pins in place on the jack shaft through the hole in the gusset that you mentioned. 👍
I kind of figured it had to have something like that it is a very great design for a trailer I was just curious looking at the video 3 time and I’m like how do you drop the jacks to remove trailer
Just. Curious how many atvs and utvs cam. You fit on the Step deck
Would love to buy a trailer from you guys but nobody sells them in Oregon.
Hey Caveman! We actually have two dealers in Oregon. One in Sherwood and one in Roseberg.
You can find the closest dealers to you at www.diamondc.com/find-a-dealer/
Thanks!
Can I do it on my mine ? This is an upgrade of the gooseneck or it came like this or what?
I wish they would add air breaks on these trailers
They need white led running lights.. mandatory
Hi can you haul this trailer running a freightliner sportchassis m 102.
What does a trailer like this run brand new ?
Hi there Kyle! Pricing varies by the dealer. You can see MSRP (or window sticker price) at www.diamondc.com/trailers/step-deck/. There you can also build one to fit your needs and submit to 1-3 dealers for actual selling price quote. 👍
So 3 question's is this 5th wheel only, would this work with a CM hotshot bed with a 91 gal aux tank and how light can a 50ft version be. I'm already at 21,xxx with a standard 40ft goosneck.
Is standard with gooseneck coupler or can utilize a king pin for fifth wheel setup. 👍 Depending on your brand and setup weight could be pretty close.
@@diamondctrailers well it's a big tex 25gn. Non air ride, electric brakes, 14ply tires. If I remember correctly I'm somewhere in the 8200 pound range for the trailer. If I was to get your trailer it would be a 50ft, hutch suspension, electric brakes, no underslung boxes and a 60" spread axle. So off an estimate what woutthe weight be for that.
@@hotshothauler for that setup with 12K axles you’d be in the 9,800-10,000lb range. 👍
@@diamondctrailers alrighty so I would have to try and loose some weight from the truck so I can still haul the weight I normally do legally.
@@hotshothauler
Hey man, if you buy a new trailer, get electric to Bendix HYDRAULIC Brakes.
Much better than electric Brakes 👌.
Full electric Brakes trailer, when I hit the brakes, they lock up 🔐
What does trailer weigh 🤔 oops missed that 10250 lol it weighs more than my 2500HD is allowed to tow here in Australia
Do you guys make enclosed trailers
No sir! We manufacture premium grade open steel trailers!
How long are you guys taking to build them if ordered today
Depends on the dealer. Last time I checked it was going to be 4-5 months.
Hi there Dee! Lead time varies by the dealer. Some can get in as short as 6-8 weeks. 👍
How much does it cost and how long will it take to make one.
I prefer fiftwheel and use it for semi
Hello Sam! Pricing varies by the dealer and location.
You can see MSRP (or window sticker) on the www.diamondc.com website. For actual selling price you can build one on the site to fit your needs and submit to 1-3 dealers for quote. 👍
Nice trailer but I spec out a trailer and I can't justify 68000.00 for a trailer! I'd just love to buy a new trailer but these prices have just exploded!
How much is this trailer?
Ramps extra cost for paint?
Hi there! The Industrial Orange shown here is $645 MSRP. We have 8 standard colors that are no up charge.
Can you hitch to HD truck
How long does it take to get once order is put in?
Hi there Chris! Lead time varies by the dealer. Some could have one for you within 8 weeks.
How do you hook it up? Please a short video on that. Thanks
Hey Terrance! Good question. It hooks up the same way as a traditional gooseneck.
14 ply tires should be standard on any trailer over 14k rating. 10 ply tires do not hold up to the condition of our roads. Also chinesium tires should never be the limiting factor on your trailer (most if not all trailer tires are made in china).That’s just asking for a blowout in the worst possible place and having to change a tire on the side of a busy highway sucks.
Use Cooper or Goodyear. I'm not sure about Firestone for trailer tires, but definitely not china bombs for tires.
@@markbremmer8642 so far I’ve only seen them for 17.5, 22.5, and 24.5’s. I have 16” wheels. May upgrade to 17.5’s if I have to. If you know of a 14 ply tire from any of those please share I’ll definitely use them. So far I haven’t been able to find any. Thanks.
@@spatton7875 Goodyear makes a 14 ply trailer tire but hold onto your wallet because those suckers are expensive.
ORANGE so cops can see me that i need attention lol
Look 4 a 32feet
Jacob, am reading alot of quality control issues with your trailers lately after the sale. We still King?
@@All-Miles-Matter Covid production rush jobs am thinking. I just signed up with Ohio Haulers for dispatching services. Got the info from you and Havens video collaboration.
@@All-Miles-Matter thanks Bud...
@@All-Miles-Matter again, I appreciate it fella. Stay in touch...
@@fritzduval fo show!
Hi Fritz! Jacob here - thanks for reaching out! DC is still at the front of the innovation train buddy! Not sure about the “sale” part. We are still 100% family owned. 👍
Still rocking and rolling! A number of supply chain issues like just about every industry around the world the last two years have made manufacturing tougher than ever but we have double and tripled down to stay true to who DC is and the quality/service our customers expect. 👊
So a 2500 3/4 ton truck won't be able to pull that trailer and a 3500 1 ton truck and up will then be able to pull that trailer.
Speaking of trucks, and I see you're into trucking. What is the best hot shot truck out there to buy for this that will take it? Thank you.
Sweet just needs a hydraulic tail🤔
Can do! 👍👊
Beautiful trailer but way too expensive..
It’s definitely an investment for the ultimate hot shotter with 350, 450, 550 or single screw semi truck. No other step deck like it on the market for that class of trucking. The is the feedback from the businesses out there running them in the field. 👍
i jus dont understand why you wouldnt drive a real trucc if your going to pull something like this lol
It's boomers
Yes but my god the price is sold expensive...
Ram 3500 is to small for trailer. Cause an accident, that will be first thing an attorney will look at. Be careful and understand how to set up a hotshot.
Hi there! That’s for stopping by. We love to hear different perspectives and feedback.
Can you give a little more substantiated reasoning as to why a 3500 is too small? The trailer is rated at 25,900lbs GVWR, in the same range as the large majority of your CDL hotshot goosenecks out there. Same frame, axle, wheel/tire combo etc.. just a different neck is what it amounts to.
@@diamondctrailers
Btw, I have been looking that these trailers since it has been on the market. Diamond C are the Cadillac of trailers. I get asked all the time about trailer and how to correctly setup a hotshot. As well as correcting owner/operators who already made mistakes. I talk to these people a couple time per week. Almost owner/operators have no clue how to correctly setup equipment.
After making the comment, I did a little more research on both truck and trailer. According to Ram, a 3500, drw, max combined tops at 37,100 lbs. with gvrw of 14k and 25,900. The combined weight is 40k. Which put truck over by nearly 3k. In order to keep setup at 37,100lbs, that would reduce weight on trailer by 2,900lbs. If my information is correct, trailer can haul 15,500lbs. Also operatoring a hotshot, loading weight on step deck, may overload trucks drive axle. There is obviously a hard balance when running hotshot. I see it everyday in the industry. As an owner of a trucking company, I have to look that the legality of every setup and every load.
Any dually will pull that trailer just fine as long as you stay within your weight limits. I pulled a 50 foot wedge trailer fully loaded with a F350 with no problem.
@@DustyakaDD bro ..your comparing a wedge to a hotshot trailer. BIG DIFFERENCE. this weighs almost DOUBLE what your wedge weighs! This trailer will destroy a 3500. IDC what anyone says. This is for a minimum of 4500, i wouldn't even consider that. 5500 minimum. Also its steel. Heavy as all get out! If it was aluminum like the semi stepdecks, wed be in business. A 53 foot step deck, for a semi, in aluminum, is about 1,000 pounds less. With 100k GVWR. you might as well get a semi and stepdeck. I like what they are doing, dont get me wrong...but when you start out with a 3500 with a trailer that weighs almost 12k with running gear, your asking to rebuild drivelines etc...step right up and try it!
@@All-Miles-Matter my 50 foot wedge trailer was at a little over 8k empty. That step deck is around 10k empty. Not much difference. My trailer had 10k axles the stepdeck is 12k. I put over 21k of loaded weight on my wedge and my 17 F350 dually pulled it just fine. I will admit that I put about 24k on it once and I believe that was about its limit. I wish I had that wedge trailer when I was hotshotting. Now I am back in 18 wheelers.
Message to diamond c…your trailers are too expensive and why would i but a step deck for a hotshot truck when i could just buy a full size truck and trailer???
I just don't see how you can proudly advertise anything new when you can't even provide the trailers ordered from a year ago. I am disappointed in Diamond C
Hi there!
Please send us an email to feedback@diamondc.com with your contact information as well as any additional order information so we can dig into your case.
Spend money on this no thanks rather have a Semi both need a CDL
😂😂😂😂. Yeah and the semi cost on everything. Hot shot is a fraction of the cost of maintenance and equipment. I went from o/o semi to o/o hot shot. I make better money and half the headaches
