As well as rollas I collect big yank tanks from the 20's 30's most weigh well over 2 tonne they are also long a few I own will hang over the back of even this 16 foot trailer.

Hmmmm yep. That would be why.:bash:

I have some bigger cars too, My 1938 Hudson 8 was on my mates 14 foot trailer last year and it was hanging out the back 6 foot the rear wheels were just inside the trailer. it was the a scary trip the hyd override brakes were doing little.

jesus thats pretty big

I will need a car trailer soon, thought about buying a second hand one for about $1000, use it for what i need, give it a quick paint job then piss it off for a few hundred more than i bought it for... man was i wrong. Couldn't get one for under $4,300. I'm just going to hire one every time i need it.

Nice project, keep the pics coming!

Day 2 No call outs today got the main frame welded up.

Day 2 continued got the checker plate fitted and stitched on top. its starting to get heavy.

how thick checkaplate are you using?

 

stainless I'm guessing?

 

or is it alloy popped on?

A customer came to pick their car up one day, They had a checker plate ramp trailer and it had being raining that day, As i started to drive the car up (st162 celica) it lost traction and almost slid off the side, The good old bar ramps is the way to go, Dad has them on both towtrucks and his car trailer.
