Interesting Trailer !

[Redmowers]

I saw this design trailer in our trade magazine.Different approach for loading! http://www.premcoproducts.com/

One of the Lawnsite members drew up a plan on a trailer like this last year. It is a slick set up, but I would think the price would be a lot. I notice there is no price on these.

I may contact them to see the $$$$ of an average model.

Looks good, but there's not much hauling capacity. You could maybe fit one walkbehind on it.

[jeffyr]

without a tailgate if anything gets loose its hitting the car behind you.

Here check out the acessories ,extended sidesand rear gate http://www.premcoproducts.com/accessories.html

The torsion suspension is also nice .I'm going to incorporate that suspension in my next trailer,smoother ride less bouncing when empty (although not usually empty)

I have thought about torsion suspensions. Do they make any with the weight capacities required for a 16ft landscape?

[Redmowers]

Usually they start at 1000lb(per axle) up to 3500lb(per axle) .I just talked to a spring guy and he said it should handle a 16' trailer as long as you dont intend to overload it .With in it's range it is a great suspension setup.

I am the one who drew up the plans last year. Here is a web site. It didn't go anywhere because it can not be made in two axle. also, there is a width limit because the trailed must fit between the wheels. On the plus side, it is a simple design so it shouldn't be to expensive to build. And it has air ride suspension. As good as you can get for ride. Note that I did add a automatic safety tail gate.

That is a very unique trailer, have you actually built one or is it still in planning?

[Henry]

Just about every enclosed trailer I've seen has torsion suspension.

[fdew]

I set it aside because the list didn't seem to think it was the right answer. I would be happy to build one or would consider licensing some one to build one. I have chosen the components and checked them with the manufacturer. The design is complete. (Mechanical design is what I do for a living. )

I see you are in upstate NY. Let's talk.

Interesting design, like the air spring idea. I have seen rollbacks and tilts for backhoes and tractors, but none w/ air suspension! Dave g

[fdew]

The difference here is that the air suspension IS the tilt system. A lot less parts that way. Also the tilt starts at the hitch, not in the center of the trailer so the tilt angle is very small.
BTW I have managed to get the width up to 77 in.

I think that torsion axles are available up to 7,000 and maybe 10,000 lb capacities. I'm using a single 3,500 lb. under my trailers and love them.
