Forwarding trailer liner

Has anyone made a liner to lift into a ribcage forwarding trailer so you can load timber that's too short to sit within the bolsters.

It's all too easy when dismantling to get bits that are just too short and run out of long bits to make a cradle for them.

I'm sure someone does. Binderberger springs to mind, i think they did a galvenised drop in solid body thing.

 

If you want to make one use box section to make a ladder that sits in the bottom of the bunk then weld uprights to it that space it fit the top deck. Weld some 4mm to fill the gaps between the bolsters and it should be ok. Just make sure it's strong enough to take abuse but light and small enough to lift out,

I helped build one, the tipper tub dropped in and fastened in with a hinge pin at the back so you could use the hiab to tip it. It worked well.

 

Any pictures? Not fussed about it tipping just being able to grab bundles of smaller timber or rings and noggins to minimise manual handling.

 

 

 

 

 

Whay about making a basket out of scaffold poles, using scaffold clips to hold them horizontally onto the bolsters?

 

Botex trailer, square bolsters so clips won't work unfortunately.
