6x4 flat bed metal trailer with removable sides?

[Vespasian]

Bit of minefield looing at trailers in it sandpiper

 

You want them to be all things for all occasions, I gave up on looking for a low to the ground caged sides easy to take apart robust and rot proof trailoer..

 

I ended up biting the bullet and fixing my 750KG Lider up.. seen more work from my mates than me over the years..

anyways I ended up rigging a winch to the chassis so I can winch my Eliet shredder up on the odd occasion..

 

Its now back to doin what it usually does, sitting around waiting on a days work...

It came with the standard Phenolic Resin Coated Ply floor. That lasted about 10 years. Replaced it with a thicker recycled plastic chipboard stuff. Not a good call. About half the price but wont last 20% of the time.

Yes, it is! Might just see what crops up locally, regardless of size and detachable sides.

Thanks. Can you not get a galvanised metal floor that will last longer, maybe forever?

You can get pretty much what you want if your willing to pay for a bespoke trailer I would think. I've seen trailers with Ali planks as the floor

I don't think I can afford a custom trailer myself! I was thinking for JustMe...

It was a consideration. I do lots of metal work so could sort it easily. The main reason for not doing it was noise. Empty trailers rattle like buggery. A metal floor would be loud when empty. Then when you drop stuff metal floors dont like that while a ply one just bounces.

 

I guess noise wise if I welded it at every point it touched it would not be too bad. Would make it very solid.

I have a Bateson 720, sides and tailgate unhook and the headboard is also removable to leave a flat platform

I has wide tyres an use it off road behind my kubota b7100 for firewood and bales

Thanks, that looks the right sort of thing.

Just remember that the quoted weight if with the standard equipment so the extra rear gate/ramp, mesh sides, props, jockey wheel & spare all come out of the load capacity.

Just a couple of pics of my 720, not that I'm suggesting it should used on the road like this!
