Johnday recently posted some photos of a trailer he just picked up and I figured I would post some photos of the new trailer I had built.
Mine is a 7000#GVW trailer, dual axle, with electric brakes, and torsion spring axles. The bed is 7' wide by 14' long. It replaced a 6' by 14' trailer that I broke . . . and it taught me a few things . . . so when we designed this one we made it better.
There license plate holder is rubber so it will bend & flex instead of bending the license plate. The tail lights are also attached to very heavy angle that protects them on 2 sides and extend about 3/4" wider than the tail lights to offer some protection to the side also.
You will also see that the rail does not go all the way to the back of the trailer, it terminates at the rear of wheel covers, this is because a wide implement will be easier to load and pallets will be easier to unload without that rail going all the way to the rear. By terminating at the rear of the wheel covers, it provided a significant amount of protection from abuse and also offers rigidity when they are used as a step.
There are stake pockets and a reinforcement rail too.
