    New outfit out of ohio. Claims to be building the lightest and strongest platform trailers. 8k flats rated for 55k in 4 ft. Since they've only been around since 2016 I'm a bit skeptical. Anyone have any experience with their trailers?

    I know Fraley and Shilling bought some. I have seen them at PSI Minster. I like there j hook set up. It incorporates a chain hook and winch anchor, that actually pivot on the j hook

    The chain can either go around the T or hook to it. Web site says 45 degrees of pivot.

    That's slick, I haven't seen those yet.

    Any idea how those trailers are holding up hauling coils? Notice you mentioned Minster.

    No, I will see what the drivers have to say when I run into one. The j hook is unique. Pretty innovative for something that simple .

    Talked to a Fraley driver last week He likes his extreme. Nothing bad to say about it . He said it is light, didn't know the weight
