- The number one reason is our double latch system. Most of the trailers we know of use a single latch to secure the trailer cradle. This puts up to 12,000 lbs. of pressure on the latch. By using a double latch the pressure on it is cut in half. Much safer, more durable. See picture below that shows what can happen to a single latch trailer.
- The OX is structurally stronger than many other trailers on the market. The main member has a 5/16” minimum wall thickness.
- The OX is more stable. It’s frame is five foot wide versus some others with only a four foot wide frame. Speaking of the frame, the OX’s frame is constructed of 3” x 5” x ¼” wall rectangular. Heavier, stronger, more durable.
- The OX uses one piece rail supports instead of cut and welded supports. This greatly reduces the number of welds in the construction. By the way, ALL of the OX’s arms are reinforced with flat steel.
- All Orange Ox trailers come standard with spring loaded and retractable jacks, brake, tail & clearance lights, 16” steel wheels, 10 ply tires, safety reflectors and a 2 year structural warranty (tires and axles are warranteed by the manufacturer). Options available include electric brakes, E Z lube axles, safety chains and 14 ply tires. If you already have tires and/or wheels, you can save up to $300.
