Ideas for a scale trailer???
 

can you guys give me some ideas on building a scale trailer???/ its going to be pulled by my hi-lift and its load is goin to be my comp rig. im having trouble desiding weather to build a gooseneck trailer or just a standered hitch trailer....im also having trouble designing the axles....i want it to be a double axle trailer...Also im debating on what type of metal to use. Aluminum or steel....Any ideas"thumbsup"

Looks awesome "thumbsup"

There's plenty of trailers here, Look around. "thumbsup"

i don't know about axles but make it a gooseneck hitch and have the ramps automatically lift like i am doing with mine. it looks awesome

do you have any pics of urs....I promise i wont copy it"thumbsup"

i personally like DTP's tilt trailer

here's what i have so far, it's not quite finished though

the way it lifts is whenever a vehicle drives up and runs over the little rectangle towards the front driver's side of the trailer, it makes the ramps go up, and whenever the vehicle pulls off the rectangle, the ramps go back down.

how long did it take to make the trailer?

i've been working on it for months, and it's still not finished

I've never done a trailer but I would go with a gooseneck and aluminum if you got enough $$$$$$$


my $0.02

no no no no you got it all wrong it.............




.............Looks Sweet"thumbsup"

I would maybe look into doing a metal frame with a wood bed, it will look cooler and probably be cheaper to build than doing a full metal trailer. Home Depot has all sorts of angle, tube, and bar stock you can get. Take a look at what they have, and get an idea of what you can do with it.

i made the trailer that Disturbin' tha Peace has now. its all aluminum from my working place and from homedepot. took me about 4 days to make. it has a tilt platform that uses it's own weight as a counter weight. it stays up after you get off of it and stays up until you get back on...........
