Car Transporter Trailer - For Sale
Looking for £400 all inclusive of the trailer and 4 wheel straps used about 4 times.
Im putting this up for sale both here and an Pistonheads.
Its a well thought out car transprter that started out life as an ALCO Braked caravan chassis.
Its a good size, ahas been designed to take both wide and narrow cars and will fit in a standard garage, with the car on top. It was specifically
designed so I could roll the car on/off of it, whilst still in the garage.
I bought the trailer off of another Locoster already with with the winch but the existing bed and ramps were a bit tired looking. When AshG needed a
trailer for his Haynes car, we decided to cut everything off and start again.
A lot of new heavy duty parts were bought and some of the really good design features were taken from the popular trailer makes.
The four main load bearing beds of the trailer are made out of 25mm box section, spaced about 50mm apart running front to back. The box section is
very well braced underneath and ot the main frame and no amount of 18 stone people bouncing on it could make it move at all.
The beds are also covered by new 19mm marine ply, but to be honest its just overkill and you could run it without.
There are two long and VERY sturdy ramps that stow between the beds.
The ramps are easy for one person to put in/out and are locked down by proper spring loaded ramp retaining pins. You just slide the ramps home and
they 'lock'. Car loading is easily a one person job with this trailer.
There are two new rear stays (and two front wind down jacking arms for very uneven surfaces). The rear stays are mounted in board so that they keep
the width of the trailer to the minimum.
The mud guards are removeable for loading unloading, just like some of the clubman type trailers. Only one is shown in the pics.
There is a heavy duty winch on the front of the trailer which can easily pull a car up the ramp and over the trailers tyres if the front wheelbase is
wide. This is how the Taylor car was loaded.
The handbrake, run on brake and emergency release brake all work perfectly.
Electics are currenly provided by a trailer board, but there is a brand new number plate light, so the trailer lights can be mounted direct.
There are also two new unfitted side running lights that come with the trailer, and wirining is already in place.
The jockey wheel was new, as is the heavy duty cast clamp, as the normal pressed steel ones are prone to failure.
The trailer also comes with a separate spare wheel, which can be bolted to the frame.
If I get the full asking price, the trailer also come with 4 x blue ratchet wheel straps that only Ash has used for a couple of shows, the IVA and
photo shoot.
So basically a complete locost package for £400.00.

It was hard work, but in the end I was smart and let AshG do most (nearly all) of it!!! 
I quickly saw his structural welding was much better than mine!!!
