- Hi there, welcome to this month's High Bar University.
He's Rick, I'm Caleb and
we're always talking about our big products.
Obviously we're talking about couplings
and fenders and floor mats.
I think we should mix it up this month.
- Hey, it's the little guys in the world
that really kind of get us through our day, isn't it?
- Absolutely.
So, I understand that people,
maybe aren't so comfortable selling things
that they don't know a ton about.
So let's educate on some of our,
maybe our lesser known products
and since you are the training manager.
- Hey, I guess that's my responsibility, isn't it?
- I'm gonna step away and just let,
no I'm just teasing.
- Well, you certainly can.
I mean, obviously we won't have
nearly as many views. - you can run this.
- But yeah.
I mean, let's talk about our fast flap hangers.
And for those of you that don't know
what a fast flap hanger is,
certainly it's a quick detachable mud flap hanger.
There's gonna be two hangers
on each mud flap that you have, certainly works
with a wider range of mudflaps out there,
typically 24 inches wide,
but any type of thickness or length will certainly work.
Just take a 10 inch screwdriver,
pry that a fast flap hanger open.
Be able to quickly put that mud flap inside of there.
And then what that allows you to do,
especially for those that are maybe an off-road,
or construction type purposes, if you happen
to back over that mud flap.
- [Caleb] We know no one would ever back over a mud flap,
that never happens.
- Never happens, never happens.
Certainly that's gonna allow the mudflap
to be able to become detached and actually come right off
instead of trying to tear everything else with it,
'cause those mud flaps are strong and they will bend
and break anything that they're attached to.
And so this really allows not only for quick installation
and being able to take and change mudflaps,
but also in those situations when they get backed over
and one of the cases for them to come right off
and then that driver can just pop out,
put it right back on and go about their business.
And people worry, well,
aren't I just gonna be driving down the road
and that thing fall right off, no.
- [Caleb] No chance.
- [Rick] Do you happen to know how much downward pressure
it takes to pull one of those mud flaps off?
- [Caleb] I think you're gonna educate me right now.
- [Rick] 500 pounds or more.
- 500 pounds.
That's like one and a half a you I think.
- Let's not get the calculator involved
in this one, shall we? (Caleb laughing)
- Just kidding.
- I think that seemed to be a shot at me.
I don't know.
(laughing)
But yeah, the 500 pounds. - It's impressive.
- Of downward force is certainly going to allow
for that mudflap, not to just come off
while you're driving down the road.
It's gonna take a shear force to be able
to pull that off of there.
- And we have some people reach out
and they say, well, if I don't have a dump truck
or some kind of way to easily attach that,
we do sell a separate part number item
that will allow you to do that
if you have a regular tractor.
- Right, that bar has the holes drilled right
into it to be able to attach. - Makes it easy.
- All four of the fast flap hangers,
attach that conspicuity tape,
everything comes in one nice, neat package
and you're all set. - [Caleb] Quick install,
that's for sure.
- Right.
- And on the premiere side, of course,
we've got our jacks and our jack line
is known for its durability
and just really several different models.
They're just very impressive.
- I'll tell you what, I'm jacked up about this.
- You're jacked up.
- I am, I really am. (Caleb laughing)
They had to Jack me up just to get me up out of this chair.
So here we go with the fat jokes again.
- Hey, you did that one, I didn't have anything to do.
You set that one up.
That was a self, I will let you pass-
- I just beat you right to it.
But yeah, no three different series
of jacks that we have available.
The 600, the 700 and the 800 series jacks,
which one do I get, right?
- Right.
That's the question.
- Be nice if we had a jack selector
to be able to use, huh?
- Hm, I wonder, I think we do.
- I think everybody out there maybe should
go to our training resource site
or our regular premiere website
and be able to find the Jack selector.
- [Caleb] Yep.
- [Rick] So when we're talking about our jacks,
I mean we have three different series of jacks available.
We have the 600, the 700 and the 800 series.
So on the 800 series, even though it's the biggest number,
it's actually the smallest jack that we have.
- [Caleb] Capacity wise.
- [Rick] Right, and so you're talking about
a 2,500 pound operational and a 5,000 pound
static weight capacity which is still fantastic.
15 inch travel and then you certainly
still have options available with that,
whether you're looking at a swivel mount,
to swivel or not to swivel,
that is the question, right?
Moving on to the 700.
So you're talking about a little larger.
- [Caleb] A little bigger. - [Rick] Yup, a little larger.
Now you have shock absorption as well,
5,000 pound operational
and a 10,000 pound static weight capacities.
And then all the other options
and then the 600, the old jiffy jack.
- [Caleb] The old jiffy jack, everyone's favorite.
- [Rick] It's actually new.
I don't know why I'm saying old.
But it's one of the great things about the jiffy jack,
is that it's going to have that quick release lever
for instant release, right?
You're gonna put a weight
on that plate on the bottom,
whether you have a sand shoe or you have the Castro shoe,
bring that down
and then you're going to be able to crank
just the rest of those last few inches.
- [Caleb] The small distance that you have.
- [[Rick] Right, yeah.
When you're releasing it again,
turn that lever until that that footing is off the ground.
And then you're going to hit that quick release
and it's going to be able to go right back
right into the body of the jack.
Again, capacity is the same way.
There are 5,000 and 10,000 pounds,
as well as the shock absorption and the different options
that we already talked about.
So the jiffy jack is one bad jack.
- It is that and again, like Rick said,
if you have any questions
or if you have a customer that has any questions
as to which \jack might be the best for them
again, the selector tool is fantastic.
- That's certainly the easiest way to go on.
And I don't know about you, but I like things that are easy.
And so anytime that you can use a tool like the selector,
you're gonna be able to get
the product that you need every time.
- Without question.
Thanks so much, Rick.
- Always a pleasure.
