DRDT-2 News
Effective 2/1/20
All new DRDT-2’s will be lighter weight and less
expensive to ship. This is good
news to new customers.
As of January 1, 2020 Both FedEx and UPS lowered their
heavy package threshold from 70 lbs down to 50 lbs. Any package over 50 lbs
gets a $24 additional fee attached to the regular shipping costs. The
shipping weight of the DRDT-2 is approximately 60 lbs.
Since shipping costs were now increasing substantially, I began
reviewing the 15 year old DRDT-2 design, requirements and analysis.
After careful review and building and testing a lighter weight
prototype, I am pleased to announce success. This lighter weight design
works as well as the heavy weight when dimpling all RV sheet thicknesses
from 0.016-0.040”. This lighter weight unit looks the same as the heavy
weight DRDT-2 except for the reduced thickness of the structural steel
frame.
There are several advantages to this lighter weight
design.
1.
Less expensive to
ship than the heavy weight DRDT-2, even without the $24 heavy weight penalty
fee.
2.
Slightly less
expensive frame material which means the DRDT-2 price doesn’t have to
increase for a few years as other components increase in price.
3.
Lighter weight is
easier to handle by the customer
4.
FedEx/UPS do not
have to take special precautions while handling the lighter unit.
5.
After 15 years and
over 2,500 units built, my back is feeling the effects of lifting 60 lbs
over and over again during the DRDT-2 fabrication.
So if you had the opportunity to use a DRDT-2 in the
past (other builders, training centers, USAF, National Guard, Airlines) the
one you will receive will be built of a thinner and lighter frame.
