they all seem to advertise trailer cranes not just trailers ive looked at the new botex ,I don't like the square bolster pins and sockets when loaded all the pressure is pushed into a corner (and they do split )on a round pin the pressure is distributed round the socket collar much stronger.years ago botex did make a single beam trailer with round bolster pins I would love to get hold of one of these and recondition it

 

Hi nj timber, cutlers from verwood has a converted lorry chassis, it's good on the road but I've seen it very stuck in the woods as it has a fixed axel!

 

We have some polish make with crane attached but it does unbolt to become 3 pt, it was from Halse of honiton who were at the long leat show a few years back. They may be able to supply one trailer only, and it has round bolsters

 

Looking forward to those pics! And I have managed to let my wife know!!!:thumbup:

Cheers rich

I know you didn't want a botex trailer but i will have a botex euro trailer without crane for sale in a few months if your interested.

Can't let it go until my new trailer arrives will be the only thing.

I still have a couple of these I made if anyone is interested, pair of decent flotation tyres on one, they both weigh around a tonne.

any info rocking beam axle ,tonnage, pictures etc

 

 

They are simple single fixed axle conversions, the larger is on decent tyres and based on an an old ford chassis and the smaller one is based on an army trailer, this latter one we used to hand load with 4ft pulpwood before I had a crane so pre-dates 1984. If I visit my brother in law's farm soon I'll take some pictures but they don't compare well with modern kit.
