And being steel you can probably back into things a bit faster before you bend something😜 Id like to see how they build the trailers over there. What is the length and tare weight of that one? Mine is coming along slowly. Waiting on ramps, paint, lights and signage then can get in rego'd.

Timmyb Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thanks guys. Yeah the results are great. It helps that we didn't cut any corners. Although the guy doing it is slow (I was warned about it), he really is passionate about trailers. Hopefully have some pics with the ramps attached on Friday.

Vladislav Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The trailer looks as a candy! Now the ramps are a kind of a key to make it useable Great job!

Timmyb Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Well I've done a few little loads with my trailer but today is the first time I've loaded it right up. Then I went and did it again. So far it pulls like I've got parachutes behind me. Getting 1km/L or 2.3mpg. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38912-project-drop-deck-trailer/page/3/#findComment-368920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

h67st Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I like the KW...do they call that a K100 like they do in the US? The polished square tanks look great; you don't see many of them over here.

Timmyb Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thanks for the tip Paul. I'd gladly jump outta this and into an old Mack! H67st, this particular one is a k104, before this model was k100g and before that was k100e. The square tanks are good, I've got 1400L or 378 gallons capacity. You loose a fair bit of ground clearance though, it's hard to get under them come service time.

Timmyb Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Looking good! I like the colour but I'm a bit biased. That's the best way to get underneath it, other than employing little people. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38912-project-drop-deck-trailer/page/3/#findComment-372258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
