Small timber trailer.

[Chris Sheppard]

Something some of you seem to be forgetting is the nose weight of the trailer with the crane fitted - one of the reason the Riko ones are the price they are is because the whole bed slides backwards/forwards to get the nose weight right. Even the 2.7m JMS crane weighs in at 326kg and that's the small one! There's a lot more goes into building them than just cobbling a crane on.

 

There's also two different axle variants available -indespension type and full rocking beam - both fully braked and sprung - the indespension works out much cheaper.

 

Before anyone says owt - yes I do work for Riko and no this aint a plug just my 2p worth

Depends what you're after but I'm sure we can sort something

 

Also, I may be wrong, but I think Lee has stopped selling JMS products now.

very good point regarding the nose weight. landrovers may tow 3.5tonnes but i seem to remember they are only rated to deal with a noseweight of 150kg, which is actually high in comparison to other vehicles.

 

balance is key in zen and the art of trailers

 

still wouldnt have indispension though, dont care how cheap it is

The rocking beam one uses leaves, the only beam axles available at the time for the other version were unfortunately not leafed.
