You can always double stack

Then I wouldn't want the trailer. I only have an acre of land, when the Stalwarts are gone perhaps a trailer can come home.

They told me 2 people bought 30 each

Anyone ever pull one with a 3/4 to 1 ton truck any distance ?

They weigh 11,000lbs empty. and since you wont be using the trailer brakes....i wouldnt.

For my F450, that would be an easy tow. Am I correct that they also use an air suspension, if so, an air supply would be required.

My truck will pull 11,000 lbs no problem.
My concern is no tongue weight.

Im just asking if anyone has done this & if so how did it handle ?
How far did you go ?

The air suspension is seperate, it does have air brakes (caged right now).

I moved mine roughly 5 miles, didnt get over 45mph.

M989A1s

I thought I replied to this a while back. I must have done some thing wrong.
I am thinking about putting a gravity box on one.
Not sure about the other two.

 

[Stalwart]

There is almost no tounge weight, therefore you will need a heavy truck to pull one. The draw bar isn't heavy enough to allow the towing vehicle to get added effort against the load. That's why I said my F450 wouldn't have a problem, it already weighs almost as much as the trailer. Plus I have HUGE brakes and the draw bar can't help out with additional weight to the towing vehicle.

Can you back one of these trailers up without looking like a complete idiot?

I have never had the opportunity/need to even try to back up a 4 wheel trailer.

I can think of a couple cool projects for this trailer IF I could tow it and then back it up into a space.

At 11k empty it is pretty heavy for though.

I was going to bid on 1 but I don't know much about the size of the thing.

I know it is 25' from tail light to the lunet but I don't have any other dimensions.

Does anybody know what the ground clearance is under the low part of the flat deck?

How long is the flat deck?

How long is the "rear deck"?

What size tires and how tall are they?

Those that won, mind sharing the winning price?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Derrickl112]

these may help....
Look at the data plate in the last picture. it says somthing about a lockpin.
so you may be able to lock the drawbar for backing up

 

[dragonman]

Here is a photo of the lock pin for backing the trailer.

You need to switch back and forth, from think backwards from normal semi backing, to normal backing, it took me for ever to learn, then no ware as good as a transfer driver

 

[dragonman]

Does anybody know what the ground clearance is under the low part of the flat deck? 20.18"

How long is the flat deck? 176"

How long is the "rear deck"? 48"

How long is the front deck? 30.5"

What size tires and how tall are they? 385/65R22.5 Good Year G178 or 15-22.5 around 41" tall

How tall are the side panels? 23"

The front deck is 17" from the floor.

No air supply needed

For my F450, that would be an easy tow. Am I correct that they also use an air suspension, if so, an air supply would be required.

We pulled mine about 10 miles with a F250 worked fine.
When the air bags are empty the front and rear deck still clears the tires.
