Also Even though it goes for all positions that mid deck lift can get a pretty good angle on it so unless your hooks behind the tire are right against the tires the vehicle will creep backwards only an issue if you are loading tight.
Usually I set my anchor hooks in the deck plate on the lift and then back my car up to the hook rear tires that way when you unload you can just drive away from strap. Good luck. TM and welcome to the club.

Pulled this trailer for the TX2K15 earlier this year, had 5 Switzer Performance GT-Rs in it. Featherlite 5 car.

I've never posted on forums before. But found myself ending up on here frequently through Google so I decided to join. The grey and red Pete is mine. That's an old northstar trailer. Just picked up a new cx5308. And the orange trailer is apparently the new cottrells that are hitting Canada. Buddy sent me a pic.

Welcome to the site... -
Surfing the web looking for those B-Train looking trailers Bordertown posted (can't find any) but I did come across this neat looking setup... Nice to know you can haul more then just vehicles...

That trailer is sold by a Canadian firm, can't think of the name, something like 3 initials CMD? It was originally built and marketed as the "transformer" trailer SEVERAL years ago, I had even talked to them some years ago, BUT, as with always there is an issue, actually two,
First, because of the cantilevering decks and the clear span, they are heavy as hell, secondly, I was quoted a price that would put it out of reach for most people.
Novel idea, and nicely executed, just not sure what kind of an operation could utilize them I do know Pilot transport (Gray and Black trucks) were running a couple, but not sure if they bought them or were just trying them out. -

OK that's a cool concept. My question is this...Stan / Kansas Transit had an issue with one of the states over length laws and whether his equipment is a carhauler. Being a stinger, and now having general freight on the tractor and trailer, the unit is subject to scrutiny when crossing a scale, road check, etc.????
KANSAS TRANSIT Thanks this.
