Hi There,

I have been making trailers for myself for years of various sizes and
purposes and I am sure I could do it for reward. I have made from
tiny to quite huge. Has anyone had the experience of what would sell
easily and at a profit?

These people do:

When I Googled to try to work out the value of my box trailer, horse
boxes seemed to be the most widely advertised, but they are rather
specialised items.


I was thinking of a simple box trailer with indespension units and
wheels, or, a bigger one with Ford back axel and drum brakes, there
are a lot about, with an mild steel angle frame and either plank or
ply base and sides. I can weld it all up and do one a week if I keep
it simple. Fill with other junk to sell and take it to our Car Boot
sale every week.

My time is not worth much and I have a good workshop and room. Do
trailer have MOTs?

No.

Is there anything else I can fabricate to keep the wolf from the door?

I have always fancied doing wrought iron gates and fences and one
business I looked at buying seemed to have done quite well buying in
parts and making them up. These people supply components, if you can't
forge them yourself.
