    I don't know a whole lot about them. I saw them on PBB. Supposedly Scorpion4x4 was making them for a while, but don't seem to anymore? By the looks of it they don't have ramps...the "deck" is low enough to drive up on.

    sucks if you are broken as scotti was at clayton. i had to get the ramps out to get it on the trailer. using a winch to get on the trailer due to one broken axleshaft is gay.

    I bet they are balanced fairly well for a particular rig. The only problem is what john said, looks like it could have ramps by the looks of the tail. W/O and broken would not be fun. You could make it into a tilting trailer, but those suck as far as being rigid. The only other thing I noticed is it would be a biatch to change an inside dual w/ a flat. Also, I bet it would buck and bounce w/o having tandem wheels.

    Ya, this trailer wouldn't be everyone's dream. I think they're pretty cool, but then again I know there are other times where I'll need a trailer to move other stuff/vehicles and this trailer would probably not be suited to that. Looking at the other pictures in the links below, it does look like the tan one has ramps. It would still be a pain to load a broken rig having to go over the trailer tires.


    As far as dirty street water goes.....what are we hauling, show trucks?

    Those are pretty neat.

    Where do you see ramps on the tan one?

    Looks like a crossmember to me, I don't think they have ramps.

    wood= pressure treated, cooler to lay on when your straping down your truck, anti-slip...also when you carry other things (if you do) won't slip...I imagine a wood deck is a lot lighter, won't last as long as steel, cheaper

    Steel= last forever, very slick when wet, hot in the summer, stuff slides off if you want it too, durable, heavy, expensive

    I'm a wood deck man.
    Our trailer has a metal dove tail w/ a tool box in the tail. rest is pressure treated wood. for as much other things we hall...engines, axles, lumber, etc. it's easy to strap down and doesn't slide around.
    A guy I once worked w/ had a steel deck goose neck and was having trouble w/ his truck. He was carrying a small dozer. He pulled over on the shoulder and dropped the right side tires off the edge. The boomers popped and the dozer slid right off the trailer.

    Looks like two ramps next to each other to me.


    Another trailer I've been thinking would be nice to have would be a "toy hauler". CDR's dad has an old gooseneck hay trailer I was thinking would be up to the task. Build a deck on the rear of the trailer, then mount a pop-up camper on the front. Only thing is it would have the same problem as the single axle trailer.....too specialized. It would be more usefull to get a flat bed trailer and just strap a pop-up camper to it whenever it's needed.
