small heavy trailer?
I sold my boom truck awhile ago when I realized it just didn't make economic
sense because the insurance costs were eating me alive. Since then, I've been trying to think of a reasonable way to come up with something that can move any of my machines (top weight about 2500#). I have a concept that I want to run by the "design review" board here :-) My idea is to buy a junker 2-horse trailer, rip the body off it and build a bed for it. My reasoning is there are tons of these around, and I do see them occasionally for under $300. They have 2 axles, and many have electric brakes. The frames are usually quite substantial, but the trailers are pretty short. I don't want a long car-hauler type trailer, don't have room for it, plus up here you pay by length when you go on a Washington State ferry boat, so shorter is better. What do you guys think? GWE |
