I Got my Hands on a Prototype trailer...But is it Worth it?
What happens here
Harry explains that the trailer features an 81-inch wide deck between the wheel wells, allowing for wider attachments to be loaded directly onto the deck. The total legal width of the trailer is 102 inches. The deck is full steel and fully gusseted underneath, built for heavy equipment. The side rails are structural elements, enabling the deck to drop low with the least possible angle. The deck also includes 10 D-rings for securing loads, rub rails, and stake pockets.
Goal: Highlight the trailer's dimensions and robust construction for heavy equipment
Tools and materials
- D-rings — Ten tie-down rings for securing loads
- Gusseting — Reinforcement elements under the deck for structural strength
- Rub Rails — Protective rails along the sides of the deck
- Side Rails — Structural components of the trailer, also serve as rub rails with stake pockets and D-rings
- Stake Pockets — Slots along the side rails for inserting stakes or extensions
- Steel Deck — Provides a flat and durable loading surface with 81 inches between wheel wells
