Finally broke down and bought a 10,000 lb dual axle 16' beavertail.
Now I'm noticing all the things it lacks, and I lack. D rings, good quality straps, winch to pull shit up on to it, toolbox to put all your crap in to, it's own jack, spare tire holder, etc.
So...first question. Jack. What size do you carry? Did you weld jacking points on to the trailer? It's not really tall enough to get a hydraulic jack under. Hi Lift? Not sure how that would perform with a fully loaded trailer.
Second question...d rings. I have added these to a number of trailers. I'm not real keen on running them on the surface of the trailer because I like to push pallets on with the forklift, and those damn things always mess with my world and tear up the pallets...but round the fender walls, I can't put them on the side. Any suggestions?
Quality straps. I've been using harbor freight my whole life. I'd like to get a couple 4" straps and a handful of 2" straps. Any suggestions on good, yet affordable brands?
Finally, the thing I really want, but can't seem to find...is a good tarp. The ones with D Rings down the edges, then again a couple feet up.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
