Part 2 for the dump trailer thread. https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/wh...ld-up.2692112/
We are now looking for more enclosed trailers. we have a fleet of 12' wellscargo trailers from the 90s that are all on their way out. we have slowly been replacing them and its time for 2 more. we bought 2 14' larks in 2014 one needed the last crossmember replaced in 2016 and got scrapped in 2018. we bought 3 14' arisons and 2 16' tandem in 2018. one of them is getting the rear crossmember replaced this month. all the enclosed trailers are 5 lug. so all over loaded.. We need either 6lug or tandem trailers. these will be used for tool trailers on jobsites. alot of the trailers get loaded for working with excavator/cranes for concrete work. always loaded with buckets of chains and other heavy stuff. the trailer will also get a roof rack for loading boat lift bunks or concrete forms.
What kills these trailers is every one will have a 4x8x8" piece of foam wrapped with filter cloth for working in the water. those floats hold quite a bit of water, so when they get put in the trailer everything gets coated in saltwater.. some of the trailers we made a mount to keep it outside on the side of the trailer, which helps but it still rusts one side.
I know every trailer wont last long with these conditions but those wellscargos did. so whats some good mid grade trailers? I dont think its going to be worth getting the most expensive in this situation
