new sled deck

[skeeter2010]

Do you have any idea what the trailer will weight once it is completed? What is the decking material going to be made of.

I am going to give a trialer weight guess of 4000-5000 LBS and a load cap. of 16,000- 17000 LBS

I don't get it, if its a 5th wheeler why the drop toung, are you having that as a drop toung, versus lowering the ball height, or am I missing something, what will you be hauling with that much trailer?

I attached pictures of each hitch this should help explain why the adjustment is on the trailer not on the hitch

Are you making it so your axles are ajustible??

I have a trailer I use for Sealcoating that I will put 12,000 LBS on it is only an tandem axle and when you make tight turns with it you would swear that the tires are going to come off the rims because it scuffs the tires so hard. I can only imagine the twisting action on a three-axle trailer while loaded.

I could be wrong and that may be what it is I keep waiting to see the end product it looks like a reall thought out project

 

[fatdaddy]

ah, so you can put rollers on the deck for ease of loading/unloading
