    Does anybody have any experience with those trailers?
    I am thinking about buying one and any feed back would be greatly appreciated!
    Do they hold up pretty good?
    Thank you!

    I've hauled about a dozen trailers out of Jet over the past few years. Side-dumps and stepdecks.

    I imagine you're speaking about their heavier 40, 51, and 55-ton models, rather than the agricultural baby lowboys. I've only seen one at their lot before, never seen one in actual service. My memory is, looking at the literature, they're not quite as stout as say, a Trail King, simply going by the numbers I believe their 55-ton is rated to 110,000lbs in 12ft vs 10ft. on the Trail Kings I've pulled. If there's one up their next time I end up there, I'll take a closer look and see how it seems for engineering and design.

    As of right now, Jet produces hoppers, stepdecks, side-dumps, and RGN's up to 55-tons.

    They're nice enough folks up there, never had issue dealing with them.

    I was actually thinking about their 35 Ton Tri-Axle Hydraulic RGN. They have a lot of options on that trailer that make it attractive so I was trying to get any feedback on those.
    They make heavier once as well you are right.

    35-ton RGN construction or agricultural lowboy? I see the ag lowboys on their lot quite a bit, the construction lowboy very rarely
