New Trailer and how to secure it and its contents

[forestboy1978]

Hello all. 

 

Going to be buying an 8x5 caged plant trailer for permanent stowage of stump grinder and my small self propelled chipper. 

 

Will be storing at my yard but not inside my shipping container. 

 

Was thinking along the lines of ground anchor under the trailer and chaining over an axle so not easy to cut chain. Perhaps a wheel clamp and hitch lock also as extra measure and covering all with a tarp. 

 

Uncertain as to best was to secure items within the trailer itself. 

 

Need to figure this all out before I buy it. Will obviously save me a lot of hassle being able to take pick up truck to trailer and hook up and have guys take van and tipper trailer direct to job site.

I’ve got a custom made cover for an 8x5 caged trailer if you’re interested

It is mate. GD 8x5

Takes 5 minutes to put on and take off. Has all bungee cords and Velcro at tailgate?

Consider one of these

You got space for another shipping container? If you have then just buy another container aswell, I’d be parking the trailer inside it regardless if i had the option. Too much theft theses days full stop, the harder you can make it for them the better!

I have a TT2515 so should be the same-ish dimensions(I would have to check though). If the OP doesn't want it, please send me a pm.

Build a little shed for it and clad the exterior with 4 inch sawn off logs. It will look like firewood stack.

You'll need two ground anchors, one for the trailer and one for the grinder.
Just think if you could get it away with a cordless grinder or cut off Saw...
