Latest Project.

[bgurney]

Just finished a 6 x 12 trailer to haul my motorcycles on. Mostly recycled steel, 4 in channel outer frame rails, and 2 in angle cross members. Dexter torsion Flex axle. Bi fold tailgate. did not like a gate sticking 4 ft in the air, so I split it and hinged it. All the steel was found in an old barn being torn down, so I scrounged it for a little labor. Ended up with less than $700 in the finished project. My own design, hauls My Interstate and a couple of sport bikes nicely.

looks really nice...especially the lights in the gate! great job

The lights in the gate, were to save width on the trailer. I have a narrow drive with a couple of bends. Need all the help I could get to make it a little easier to back in.

Looks great, very nice job. I use allot of recycled steel from work for my personal projects.

Plans for your trailer

Hi,
I am new to this board and just now taking a Basic Welding course with the intent to finish all available welding courses through a local community college.

Very nice trailer.

That is the kind of trailer I would like to build. As an experienced welder, you probably have the plans in your head but I would like to know those same plans if you have them on paper somewhere. That is, if you are inclined to share. If not, I understand. I like the beam frame idea. If you know where I can purchase some plans, I would appreciate that as well. Thanks in advance.

Very nice trailer!

Nice. How do you support the gate at the hinge when it is down!

[gnewby]

Trailer looks good, was also wondering about how you made your hinges and your latches for your tailgate? Also your cherry picker did you make it also if so could we see another photo or two of it?

[bgurney]

The first part of the gate is held by chains, like a truck tailgate. And the second part just tilts at the hinge to the pavement.

Nice. How do you support the gate at the hinge when it is down!
