No Idea
, it appeared in our yard over the weekend, someone picking up steel from the old mans place. I'm very temped to hook it up and take it for a spin, i recon the transit would get it tight turning a corner with that some drag on those tyres

A neighbour of mine has been an importer of Chinese tractors for the last 20 years or more - he used to have a few similar 4 axle trailers (that he had commissioned) for delivering kit all around Europe. His thinking was there is less stress on each tyre for the miles and miles of fast straight roads the trailers were running on fully loaded.

You’d need to hitch it to a tow bar 3 feet above the ground for the skids to work!

Shouldn’t need to fanny about with anything like that on a brand new trailer. It had fixed skids built into the ramps, they were just the wrong lengthor carry two suitable packer blocks

Annoys the hell out of me when you buy something brand new and feel like you find the issues they should have sorted when trialling before production. I say this as I’ve just bent the stupid tailgate retaining lever on my newish IW tipper

They are a crap design - the old version with the handle either side was much better imo.Annoys the hell out of me when you buy something brand new and feel like you find the issues they should have sorted when trialling before production.
