An interesting trailer

Simple adaption to a trailer to load big sticks.

Its has always struck me as strange that this concept has only really been used comically for skip wagons and cable drum trailers.

Predictive text can be your worst enema ?

 

It is odd that something so light and simple has not found its way onto trailers in this country, with a couple of pins fitted it would be removable. The alternative is a load sapping and expensive crane installation which I dont think would cope with the size of sticks that lad is dragging onto his trailer.

Very true. If our work warranted one I'd be building one now. Access is normally too restrictive to own one, but as you say it wouldn't take much effort to make it removable to allow it's use when required. Now if someone could design a trailer that climbed steps, went round corners in 3ft wide passages and fit through a garden gate  we'd have a winner. 

 

I wonder if the hydraulic power pack on a tipping trailer could be used to run a couple of rams like a skip wagon?

As I posted on a thread many years back it doesn't even have to be on the trailer, it can be on a frame  which you drive the trailer wheels over.
