Default carrier trailer

last week we picked up this trailer.
it is almost complete and not in such a bad shape.
brake system is present and the tyres are gone.........
so if someone knows 10.50 x 13 tyres,let me know.

well done that's a nice trailer, i keep looking for one myself. the big question is what are you going to pull it with when the carrier is on the back ?

Hi Roy,
I have had a couple of these trailers, they are a bit of a night mare on the road. There were 3 different Mks of this type of trailer. any idea which MK this one is ?

nice to see it still has its correct ramps.

we gonna pull it with a scammel pioneer,mack lmsw or with the diamond t 980

wich make it is,i don,t know yet,but these trailer is fitted with the width plates on it with 3 lines of little holes for the bracket,the most i see have the smaller plates,compairing with the ramps.
normaly you can put two ramps in the middle of the plates,on ours there is not enough space for it.

Is there any sign of the deck area for the tracks having been widened at some point? Hard to believe they would make the trailer without a storage area for the ramps.

I just got mine into the yard about a week back. Yours is much more complete and unmodified as far as I can tell. Mine runs on 10.50-16 tires.

there is space between the two decks,but one ramp must lay down on the other.
the two decks are original without any welding.
our trailer runs on 10.50x13 tyres............ the hubcaps are the rounded version,i see some trailers with a flat hubcap.
