Benson trailers any good

But whats the diameter of the coil?

And where's this Hammond steel mill?

 

#1 --take a heat gun and peel the black stripe/sticker

#2 All the trailers I've owned have this problem. not saying one doesn't. You can take bolt out and get a little more winch travel and drill new hole for bolt which is what I did.

#3 Not sure what the problem is? Lol Unless you mean what they weigh less.

 

I have a Reitnouer MaxMiser and over both rear axles you cant slide winches over them. On the first axle it's about 3 feet and the rear about 2.5 feet. You'll get used to getting out your pocket winches or ratchet straps.

I never would put them over the tires anyhow but I would get them semi close with my old trailer so it was a little bit of an adjustment to make.

 

Do what MJ does and what I’ve done too, use a short chain.

 

I don't even carry any other straps. I go around a spool or go diagonal just in front of tire on one side to just behind tire on other side. I'm sure some won't agree but it works for me.

 

Had to do that with an oversized tank I hauled out to W Tx but it was because my straps weren't long enough. Didn't think about doing it over the tires. Thats a good idear.

 

That's a darn good idea. Gonna go buy some short chains and hooks.

WELL ITS SO OBVIOUS NOW
