    More info on the trailer, please! Looks like a sweet wood hauler. What size is it?

    It’s an 8x5 braked trailer I’ve had for just over ten years. I built the cage myself and added the toolbox as well. Other than that I put light truck tyres on when I had a blow out with the original tyres a few years ago. Only thing it isn’t a tipper like a lot of you guys have in the States but I really like the size of it for what I do.

    Thanks. I really like it. I have been using a small single axle trailer behind my truck when I need to haul more, but it has a very limited capacity. I was planning on building a dump bed for my truck, and I already have the telescopic cylinder. A dump on the truck would be awesome, but being able to haul a pile of wood on a dump trailer behind the loaded truck would be even better, because dump beds on trucks sit much higher than a normal flatbed.

    I can’t remember it’s been that long since I built the thing but it’s around 900mm to a metre. I will measure it in a couple of days when I get a chance ok.
