I was expecting electric brakes because it's 3500GTM but the fella at Bendigo hire said it was dual hydraulic brakes and they got away withought electric. The tyres are indeed small and are pumped at a whopping 90psi, really rough without a load on. I found one had dropped its pressure over time which was a worry. Overall a fantastic trailer with tilt also which was a bonus.

Thanks so much for this Jim, greatly appreciated! So, it turns out they have an Australian dealer in Gosford which is accessible for me. Thats been a huge help!

Cheers Simon

New horizons, Simon? Have to admit I've looked at those with some envy. When I used to trailer my Fiats one of the biggest bugbears was getting the bloody doors open past the trailers mudguards. Not to mention getting the things past the apex of where the ramps met the deck... Not that this design would fix that.

They are a few of the problems. Probably not so much new horizons, but more just trying to develop a better product with what we do (I teach HSC Industrial Technology and we produce masses of different trailers each year), and one of the problems that I see is that when we do table top trailers, that the deck heights come up pretty tall. Thats a result of a couple of things, the springs have a huge amount of camber, load share mounts space a fair way out from the chassis and most want to run 4WD tyres, but even with regular tyres we still have a high deck heights which are comparable to utes. I'm hoping that this may give us the option to do table top builds with lower deck heights, even if it is just via the suspension. Even car trailers will benefit from this by bringing the deck height down for lowered cars etc possibly without going to a tipping drawbar (which I'm not a fan of).

Here are a few of the projects we made last year:

I had an E1800. IIRC, it had 10" and 145 tyres, 8 ply. Can't remember the aspect ratio tho .. maybe it didn't have one listed.
