Just a tester really. This has been very useful over the years but I just don't use it anymore and its pointless having it sitting around, going rusty. Plus it encourages me to get more tat.
Ive had this years and done load of work to it, recently rewired the lights and before that it was totally shot blasted, etch primered and painted.
a few scratches on it now here and there, but its still mint for a working trailer. The bed is 2mm sheet steel covering the whole deck of the trailer so its GR8 4 SCRAP. The hitch isnt very old and works great.
The tilting action works by removing a pair of locks on the front of the trailer and winding the tilting handle. The rear ramp folds down and makes loading cars very easy. Although the winch is missing the flat smooth bed means that damaged or even wheel-less cars can be pulled on if you fit a winch thats meaty enough. Its all very simple and easy to use.
I replaced all the brake shoes (very expensive auto reverse types) but these need setting up properly. The bearings all need adjusting too, a couple of dust caps have gone adrift so they could do with stripping and repacking with grease ideally.
Size wise ive had all sorts of cars on it from Robins to Jags, although it would have been a bit overloaded with a Jag.
This is a serious bit of kit for the hardcore shiter/scrap collector. It will make the new owner loads of dosh through weighing in scrap cars. Its up to about 100 quid a ton so this trailer will pay for itself in no time at all.
Price.. 500 POUNDS.
