Looks to me some of those trailers would need a 12X12 to level things out
-
That is a main reason I stated we needed to know it's intended use.
-
If you're going to haul a little bit of everything and some coils I'd go East or Mac. Mostly lumber I'd get a Western.
-
The arch is by spec, you can get them with more or less depending on package specs. with all manufacturers, all aluminum the arch will be more than a combo.
Always liked East trailers. They do cost a bit more than others.
Western Trailers are good, not my favorite for sure. Pulled them for quite awhile. tend to be heavy. The ones set up for slide winches are more trouble than they are worth. -
Pulled an East Beast for 7 years. Handled just about everything I could throw at it.
Spec with 15 sliding winches on both sides of 48' 102" spread.
Had tarp box between each spread.
Dunnage rack in front of axle 4.
Also had 12 sets of the track clips for those tight spots.
Trailer was great and never had to worry about lumber walking on me.
46+ on the weight and the trailer flattened out very nice.
Less. I'd have to block the ends with a 4×4 and it road fine.
