Trailer Project (Warrington, UK)
dubstar_04 - 24/2/15 at 08:18 AM

I have an unfinished trailer project that will need to find a new home in the near future. I don't have time to finish it at the moment as we have baby and the wife want the garden space back for the summer.

To do:

1. Make ramps
2. Wire lighting
3. Buy brake cables
4. Paint
5. Complete a few welds (Mainly bolted construction)
6. Fit mudguards
7. Fit Loading Posts

The trailer is built using dual caravan axles that are rated for 750kg each. I have the plans for the trailer with all the dimensions and receipts for all the steel. It was designed to carry a locost, a set of tyres and a tool box.

I have spent about £750 on parts in total, but I am open to offers as the wife is 'keen' on it going soon!!

I did a similar thing once and sold it without finishing it, you wont get your money back fella

Then I went and bought one and it was better.

If someone could collect this weekend and give me £250 i would be a happy with that.

I assume it cannot be towed so it would need a trailer to collect it on?

Can it be carried onto a flat bed, mates after one but not answering my text messages !!!!!

Having it collected on a trailer would be preferable however, It should be safe to tow.

Its up to whoever collects it to decide if they are happy towing it. Its mostly a bolted construction so its structurally sound.

There are no brake cables so it would reply on the towing vehicle to do the braking which shouldn't be a problem with no load.

The overall width is 2500mm.

I've added a link to a 3D PDF that should open with Adobe Reader.

It will give you a chance to have a look at the basic construction.
