Just Picked It Up

[workinonit]

Just picked up my new 24 foot, 16,000 pound trailer. Had to wait a couple of weeks for it to be built. I have to build a structure and mount the new winch then I can measure for some sort of tool box to keep accessories dry.

Nice looking trailer , I like those between the wheel beds for hauling equipment , keeping the COG low always felt safer to me. Don't see a name on it, costom local build?

They actually make metal and plastic angular boxes for those trailers. I made my own for my previous trailer. My new trailer is a tilt bed so don稚 have room...or need.

Yes, locally built. Guy builds a ton of these in various sizes.

I like that box. I have to squeeze my winch in between but I have quite a bit more room than yours does.

you cant see by these pics, but i have a receiver welded behind the box. its a simple 2x2 square. my winch slipped in. it was to load a horse carriage. you can see the winch in the middle picture. it was a remote controlled unit.

making the box was easy. adding the lock and hydraulic lid lift took some effort to design

had it powder coated

 

[workinonit]

Yea, though I can, I'm not making a box. Push come to shove I have 2 large ammo cans that I can mount and paint. I can build a battery box. I hadn't thought about the winch on a receiver. That may be an option.

That’s a 16,000 and not a 14,000? It looks like 16” tires where usually 16k trailers have 17.5 tires.

Nice!

That type of trailer will not fit your needs it will be headache soooo I'll tell what park the trailer end of your driveway and I'll make quick trip down and put $100.00 in your mailbox ...

You got nice looking trailer indeed and like ideas for the finishing touches :thumbsup: enjoy.

Yes, I would concur, it’s a 14k trailer. The simple visual is an 8 lug axel is 7k lbs X 2 = 14k.
That said, very nice and will serve you well if you use it properly.

Here are a few picks after I got the winch frame fabbed and mounted. I also picked up a tool box and got it attached. These pics didn't load in order but they show the progress and the finished product.

Looks nice

 

[JD 4520]

Very nice, it should serve you well.

 

[Reb954]

Well done. Looks good and serves the purpose.

 

[workinonit]

Thanks guys.

Nice looking trailer! I was finally able to load your pictures, the night that you posted my internet wasn't cooperating. Is that Tundra big enough to pull it, or will you need to upgrade that also?

 

[workinonit]

Depends on what I put on it. I won't be pulling anything to far but the Tundra is 11,000 and 1000. Just my tractor would be fine, if I loaded very much more on it I would have to use my cousins truck. I'm thinking about getting a new truck anyway but I really don't want to have to buy something I don't need when I can use a truck anytime I need it.
