You should look at how globe did their hydro flip! It makes xl's look like crap. I don't know how easy it would be to convert an existing trailer to, but it's super clean looking.

It's a 19 axle. Appears to be a steering failure of some kind, the Achilles heel of the design.Oxbow Thanks this. -

They told us they won't/don't build a 55 Ton Extendable for use with a stinger. If we want that capability it would have to be a 60 Ton & the added weight kind of negates the benefits. Not to mention it is at least 4 months down the road if we put the order in today, was told 6 months was probably more realistic.
They are currently working on a hydraulic stinger flip. Saw both at a dealer here in Houston. They brought their trailers they had at the show in Vegas to this dealer & they had all those goodies on them.
As far as the stinger flip goes, they have a functioning one, but they have determined they need bigger hydraulic cylinders on it. It will pick it up enough that you can grab it by hand & push it over, but it won't make the whole trip on its own.
Currently looking at a Trail King TK110HED with a 4th flip & spreader bar. The dealer has one coming in the end of this month & another coming in at the end of July that don't have anybody's name on them yet. A bit more money but it's TK & available now.Last edited: Jun 15, 2017

That's why I'm not interested in the Globe trailer & pushing for the TK with a tandem stinger. With that setup I will technically be able to max the trailer out & axle it, though I don't intend to max it out.
But ultimately, it's not my money so I'll have to work with whatever we get. -
