Hello all,
I know that this doesn't involve moving machines, but trailers are a neccisity(spelling?). Any way I have been looking at tilt trailers. Figuring it would be nice to tilt the trailer and then winch whatever the load is on to the bed.
But I do have a question on the designs of them. The bulk of them that I have seen, when the trailer tilts, it lifts the front axle up. And relies on the back axle and the back of the trailer to hold the weight. Which in my feeling could cause the axle to snap or some of the brackets to break as well.
Is there any manufactures out there that just make the bed tilt? Or should I even be concerned? I have also seen a roll back trailer, which I would also like to think about.
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. I'm thinking of a 16 foot trailer here. Not the 6x10 or so sized.
