Probably not its trade name[bighmmm]

I gather this is a simplicity setup,,


Anyone know how the leaf pack is attached to the centre beam?

I am having a problem working out just how this shares the load....

That's similar to what is under the Haulmark PT2-2

It should fix at the centre of the leaf pack and have flexible mount, then it will share the load via the see saw action like a walking beam i.e grader/ moxy.

On the Haulmark, the trailer frame pivots around the springs (i.e. the spring pack pivots). They are difficult to manoeuvre by hand as all four wheels are always in contact with the ground no matter how much you tilt the trailer.

Thanks Fitzy[smilebigeye]
so the ends have to be some form of captive slipper?

not just simplicity, but it looks like it offers better ground clearance and less stuff to get hung up
