Thanks, I'm not a fan of mess in the workshops, so try to keep it clean.

It'll be towed by 4wds. The school Rosa's and Commuters dont have enough tow capacity unfortunately.

Think of the time savings and it would probably be lighter too!!!!!

Im thinking that will be a "two person lift" when it comes time to put some running gear under her!

You're not going to belive it but there are such beasts, They stack and are very little more than a diamondish shaped frame with a long central beam with an eye and pintle at either end, a pair of triangles with locators on them and a pair of wheeled axles.

Max speed 5kph with 5 at a time and they're intended to move bunches of empty containers around docks.

you can also get end lifters that are basically a set of wheels with suspension and steering that bolts onto the bottom and top twist lock recepticals making a container a dog trailer.

Still plugging along. Both walls squared up and a couple of sheets welded in. 2/3rds of the floor has been cut in too. Getting there.



Is that Jesus giving me some advice from the side of the trailer?

Carpe diam.......

Looks more like zoidberg from Futurama
Oh, and it's "diem" not "diam"....
Just sayin.....
Will they just use the D40 they've got?
Can't think of anything else they've got that will tow it.

hmmm, diem.

D40 or personal vehicles... or a prime mover.

they should have bought a landie

coming along nicely.....

Haven't you finished this yet?

Always love a trailer build!
