The U.S. Border Patrol, San Diego Sector Logistics Office is seeking the purchase of a new flatbed goose-neck-style trailer to haul equipment. The make is a Diamond C Trailer, Model

FMAX212.

The Diamond C, model FMAX212 is the only trailer that can provide the needed requirements requested by the US Border Patrol. The , is longer than our current requirement, since we already have an semi trailer that is 30' long. The also has flip up ramps that make it harder to back the trailer up since the driver's view is blocked Additionally the ramps cannot handle tracked equipment due to slippage. The Diamond C, Model FMAX212, has solid floor level flip down ramps, that can handle both wheeled and tracked equipment without the fear of slippage. The Diamond C, meets all of the Border Patrols requirements .
